DcrModel

class lsst.ip.diffim.DcrModel(modelImages, filterInfo=None, psf=None, mask=None, variance=None)

Bases: object

A model of the true sky after correcting chromatic effects.

Notes

The DcrModel contains an estimate of the true sky, at a higher wavelength resolution than the input observations. It can be forward- modeled to produce Differential Chromatic Refraction (DCR) matched templates for a given Exposure, and provides utilities for conditioning the model in dcrAssembleCoadd to avoid oscillating solutions between iterations of forward modeling or between the subfilters of the model.

Methods Documentation

applyImageThresholds(image, highThreshold=None, lowThreshold=None, regularizationWidth=2)

Restrict image values to be between upper and lower limits.

This method flags all pixels in an image that are outside of the given threshold values. The threshold values are taken from a reference image, so noisy pixels are likely to get flagged. In order to exclude those noisy pixels, the array of flags is eroded and dilated, which removes isolated pixels outside of the thresholds from the list of pixels to be modified. Pixels that remain flagged after this operation have their values set to the appropriate upper or lower threshold value.

Parameters

imagenumpy.ndarray

The image to apply the thresholds to. The values will be modified in place.

highThresholdnumpy.ndarray, optional

Array of upper limit values for each pixel of image.

lowThresholdnumpy.ndarray, optional

Array of lower limit values for each pixel of image.
