about=ArchaeoAstroInsight is a QGIS plugin for the archaeoastronomical analysis of ground-level archaeological features. It detects features in satellite or aerial rasters using a YOLO model, estimates each feature's orientation (azimuth) with a ResNet classifier (or reads it directly from user-drawn lines), derives the local horizon from the HeyWhatsThat online service, user-provided SRTM elevation data and/or LiDAR point clouds, and computes the astronomical declination of each alignment. It also generates azimuth and declination curvigrams (kernel-density plots with significance thresholds) and writes all results to a single CSV for further analysis. It requires external Python packages (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Ultralytics and others) that are not bundled with the plugin; download the installer scripts and follow the installation instructions in the repository README (https://github.com/geo-andrei/ArchaeoAstroInsight). Data to reproduce the experiments is available as a Kaggle notebook: https://www.kaggle.com/code/marcfrincu/al-hayit-analysis

changelog=
    0.3.1
    - Installer .bat scripts removed from the plugin package (they stay in the GitHub repository)
    0.3
    - New: line layers as input; each line's drawn direction is the azimuth (no YOLO/ResNet model needed)
    - New: LiDAR (.laz/.las) horizon, a third independent declination method alongside HeyWhatsThat and SRTM
    - Faster start-up (lazy loading) and ResNet model caching
