The COde-independent Organized LEns STandard (COOLEST) proposes a solution to the above problems. COOLEST is a standard for describing, storing and sharing lens models more easily, independently of the specific modeling techniques and software packages. The main element of COOLEST is a unique JSON hierarchical template file, that stores in a human-readable way the necessary lens model data. Another key element is a suit of visualization tools that automatically produces a series of images, plots and other analysis products from a COOLEST file.
Would this package be useful during our refactoring?
