ImageMapper

class lsst.ip.diffim.ImageMapper(config: Config | None = None, *, name: str | None = None, parentTask: Task | None = None, log: logging.Logger | lsst.utils.logging.LsstLogAdapter | None = None)

Bases: Task

Abstract base class for any task that is to be used as ImageMapReduceConfig.mapper.

Notes

An ImageMapper is responsible for processing individual sub-exposures in its run method, which is called from ImageMapReduceTask.run. run may return a processed new sub-exposure which can be be “stitched” back into a new resulting larger exposure (depending on the configured ImageReducer); otherwise if it does not return an lsst.afw.image.Exposure, then the ImageReducer.config.reducer.reduceOperation should be set to ‘none’ and the result will be propagated as-is.

Methods Summary

emptyMetadata()

Empty (clear) the metadata for this Task and all sub-Tasks.

getFullMetadata()

Get metadata for all tasks.

getFullName()

Get the task name as a hierarchical name including parent task names.

getName()

Get the name of the task.

getTaskDict()

Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.

makeField(doc)

Make a lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField for this task.

makeSubtask(name, **keyArgs)

Create a subtask as a new instance as the name attribute of this task.

run(subExposure, expandedSubExposure, ...)

Perform operation on subExposure.

timer(name[, logLevel])

Context manager to log performance data for an arbitrary block of code.

Methods Documentation

emptyMetadata() None

Empty (clear) the metadata for this Task and all sub-Tasks.

getFullMetadata() TaskMetadata

Get metadata for all tasks.

Returns:
metadataTaskMetadata

The keys are the full task name. Values are metadata for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc.

Notes

The returned metadata includes timing information (if @timer.timeMethod is used) and any metadata set by the task. The name of each item consists of the full task name with . replaced by :, followed by . and the name of the item, e.g.:

topLevelTaskName:subtaskName:subsubtaskName.itemName

using : in the full task name disambiguates the rare situation that a task has a subtask and a metadata item with the same name.

getFullName() str

Get the task name as a hierarchical name including parent task names.

Returns:
fullNamestr

The full name consists of the name of the parent task and each subtask separated by periods. For example:

  • The full name of top-level task “top” is simply “top”.

  • The full name of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub”.

  • The full name of subtask “sub2” of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub.sub2”.

getName() str

Get the name of the task.

Returns:
taskNamestr

Name of the task.

See also

getFullName

Get the full name of the task.

getTaskDict() dict[str, weakref.ReferenceType[lsst.pipe.base.task.Task]]

Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.

Returns:
taskDictdict

Dictionary containing full task name: task object for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc.

classmethod makeField(doc: str) ConfigurableField

Make a lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField for this task.

Parameters:
docstr

Help text for the field.

Returns:
configurableFieldlsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField

A ConfigurableField for this task.

Examples

Provides a convenient way to specify this task is a subtask of another task.

Here is an example of use:

class OtherTaskConfig(lsst.pex.config.Config):
    aSubtask = ATaskClass.makeField("brief description of task")
makeSubtask(name: str, **keyArgs: Any) None

Create a subtask as a new instance as the name attribute of this task.

Parameters:
namestr

Brief name of the subtask.

**keyArgs

Extra keyword arguments used to construct the task. The following arguments are automatically provided and cannot be overridden:

  • config.

  • parentTask.

Notes

The subtask must be defined by Task.config.name, an instance of ConfigurableField or RegistryField.

abstract run(subExposure, expandedSubExposure, fullBBox, **kwargs)

Perform operation on subExposure.

To be implemented by subclasses. See class docstring for more details. This method is given the subExposure which is to be operated upon, and an expandedSubExposure which will contain subExposure with additional surrounding pixels. This allows for, for example, convolutions (which should be performed on expandedSubExposure), to prevent the returned sub-exposure from containing invalid pixels.

This method may return a new, processed sub-exposure which can be be “stitched” back into a new resulting larger exposure (depending on the paired, configured ImageReducer); otherwise if it does not return an lsst.afw.image.Exposure, then the ImageReducer.config.mapper.reduceOperation should be set to ‘none’ and the result will be propagated as-is.

Parameters:
subExposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

the sub-exposure upon which to operate

expandedSubExposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

the expanded sub-exposure upon which to operate

fullBBoxlsst.geom.Box2I

the bounding box of the original exposure

kwargs

additional keyword arguments propagated from ImageMapReduceTask.run.

Returns:
resultlsst.pipe.base.Struct

A structure containing the result of the subExposure processing, which may itself be of any type. See above for details. If it is an lsst.afw.image.Exposure (processed sub-exposure), then the name in the Struct should be ‘subExposure’. This is implemented here as a pass-through example only.

timer(name: str, logLevel: int = 10) Iterator[None]

Context manager to log performance data for an arbitrary block of code.

Parameters:
namestr

Name of code being timed; data will be logged using item name: Start and End.

logLevelint

A logging level constant.

lsst.utils.timer.logInfo

Implementation function.

Examples

Creating a timer context:

with self.timer("someCodeToTime"):
    pass  # code to time
