NumberDeblendChildSourcesMetricTask

class lsst.pipe.tasks.metrics.NumberDeblendChildSourcesMetricTask(**kwargs)

Bases: MetricTask

Task that computes the number of science sources created through deblending.

This task only counts final deblending products; i.e., if deblending was run more than once or with multiple iterations, only the final set of deblended sources are counted, and not any intermediate ones. If sky source information is present, sky sources are excluded.

Notes

The task excludes any non-sky sources in the catalog, but it does not require that the catalog include a sky_sources column.

Attributes Summary

canMultiprocess

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(sources)

Count the number of science sources created by deblending.

runQuantum(butlerQC, inputRefs, outputRefs)

Do Butler I/O to provide in-memory objects for run.

timer(name[, logLevel])

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

Attributes Documentation

canMultiprocess: ClassVar[bool] = True

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.

getFullName
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.

run(sources)

Count the number of science sources created by deblending.

Parameters:
sourceslsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog

A science source catalog, which may be empty.

Returns:
resultlsst.pipe.base.Struct

A Struct containing the following component:

measurement

the total number of science sources from deblending (lsst.verify.Measurement). If no deblending information is available in sources, this is None.

Raises:
MetricComputationError

Raised if sources is missing mandatory keys for source catalogs.

runQuantum(butlerQC, inputRefs, outputRefs)

Do Butler I/O to provide in-memory objects for run.

This specialization of runQuantum performs error-handling specific to MetricTasks.

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.

logLevel

A logging level constant.

Examples

Creating a timer context:

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