Packages:

This library contains 3 packages:

  • PyBWE: Plain vanilla package. It contains the BWE functions, as well as the sub-functions allowing you to model and extrapolate a radar spectrum.

  • PyPBWE: Advanced package. It contains the PBWE function, as well as the sub-functions allowing you to model and extrapolate a polarimetric radar spectra.

  • PySSBWE: Advanced package. It contains the SSBWE function, as well as the sub-functions allowing you to model and extrapolate a radar spectrum, as well as extracting echoes information from it.

PyBWE should be used by default. PyPBWE can be used only if the radar has more than one polarimetric channel. SSBWE can be used in high noise-level or in high attenuations situations, but the stability of the model is not guaranteed. See the documentation for more information on the functions contained in each package.

Each package can be imported the following way:

import PyBWE
import PyPBWE
import PySSBWE
