class PeakLikelihoodFluxAlgorithm : public lsst::meas::base::SimpleAlgorithm

A measurement algorithm that estimates the peak instrument flux, using a filtered image which has been convolved with its own PSF.

Public Types

typedef PeakLikelihoodFluxControl Control

A typedef to the Control object for this algorithm, defined above. The control object contains the configuration parameters for this algorithm.

Public Functions

virtual void measure(afw::table::SourceRecord &measRecord, afw::image::Exposure<float> const &exposure) const

Called to measure a single child source in an image.

Before this method is called, all neighbors will be replaced with noise, using the outputs of the deblender. Outputs should be saved in the given SourceRecord, which can also be used to obtain centroid (see SafeCentroidExtractor) and shape (see SafeShapeExtractor) information.

virtual void fail(afw::table::SourceRecord &measRecord, MeasurementError *error = nullptr) const

Handle an exception thrown by the current algorithm by setting flags in the given record.

fail() is called by the measurement framework when an exception is allowed to propagate out of one the algorithm’s measure() methods. It should generally set both a general failure flag for the algorithm as well as a specific flag indicating the error condition, if possible. To aid in this, if the exception was an instance of MeasurementError, it will be passed in, carrying information about what flag to set.

An algorithm can also to chose to set flags within its own measure() methods, and then just return, rather than throw an exception. However, fail() should be implemented even when all known failure modes do not throw exceptions, to ensure that unexpected exceptions thrown in lower-level code are properly handled.
