CameraSysPrefix const lsst::afw::cameraGeom::PIXELS

Pixel coordinates: Nominal position on the entry surface of a given detector (x, y unbinned pixels).

For CCD detectors the x axis must be along rows (the direction of the serial register). This is required for our interpolation algorithm to interpolate across bad columns.

This ignores manufacturing imperfections, “tree ring” distortions and all other such effects. It is a uniform grid of rectangular (usually square) pixels.

Warning

This is a detector prefix; call Detector.makeCameraSys(PIXELS) to make a full CameraSys.
