Description

VIP is a Python package providing the tools to reduce, post-process and analyze high-contrast imaging datasets, enabling the detection and characterization of directly imaged exoplanets, circumstellar disks, and stellar environments. VIP is a collaborative project which started at the University of Liège, aiming to integrate open-source, efficient, easy-to-use and well-documented implementations of state-of-the-art algorithms used in the context of high-contrast imaging.
