Class lsst::jointcal::PhotometryTransformChebyshev¶

class PhotometryTransformChebyshev : public lsst::jointcal::PhotometryTransform ¶

nth-order 2d Chebyshev photometry transform.

The 2-d Chebyshev polynomial used here is defined as:

\[ f(x,y) = \sum_i \sum_j a_{i,j} T_i(x) T_j(y) \]

where \(T_n(x)\) is the n-th order Chebyshev polynomial of \(x\) and \(a_{i,j}\) is the corresponding coefficient of the (i,j) polynomial term.

Note that the polynomial order=n means that the highest terms will be of the form:

\[ a_{0,n}*x^n*y^0, a_{n-1,1}*x^(n-1)*y^1, ..., a_{1,n-1}*x^1*y^(n-1), a_{n,0}*x^0*y^n \]
