Class lsst::meas::base::SdssShapeAlgorithm

class SdssShapeAlgorithm : public lsst::meas::base::SimpleAlgorithm

Measure the image moments of source using adaptive Gaussian weights.

This algorithm measures the weighted second moments of an image using a Gaussian weight function, which is iteratively updated to match the current weights. If this iteration does not converge, it can fall back to using unweighted moments, which can be significantly noisier.

See Bernstein & Jarvis, 2002, for more information on this type of algorithm. Note that the code here makes no attempt to correct for the PSF; for PSF corrected ellipticities using weighted moments please use the shapeHSM package.
