@section ip_diffim_snappsfmatch_Purpose Description

@copybrief SnapPsfMatchTask

This Task differs from ImagePsfMatchTask in that it matches two Exposures assuming that the images have been acquired very closely in time. Under this assumption, the astrometric misalignments and/or relative distortions should be within a pixel, and the Psf-shapes should be very similar. As a consequence, the default configurations for this class assume a very simple solution.

. The spatial variation in the kernel (SnapPsfMatchConfig.spatialKernelOrder) is assumed to be zero

. With no spatial variation, we turn of the spatial clipping loops (SnapPsfMatchConfig.spatialKernelClipping)

. The differential background is _not_ fit for (SnapPsfMatchConfig.fitForBackground)

. The kernel is expected to be appx. a delta function, and has a small size (SnapPsfMatchConfig.kernelSize)

The sub-configurations for the Alard-Lupton (SnapPsfMatchConfigAL) and delta-function (SnapPsfMatchConfigDF) bases also are designed to generate a small, simple kernel.

@section ip_diffim_snappsfmatch_Initialize Task initialization

Initialization is the same as base class ImagePsfMatch.__init__, with the difference being that the Task’s ConfigClass is SnapPsfMatchConfig.

@section ip_diffim_snappsfmatch_IO Invoking the Task

The Task is only configured to have a subtractExposures method, which in turn calls ImagePsfMatchTask.subtractExposures.

@section ip_diffim_snappsfmatch_Config Configuration parameters

See @ref SnapPsfMatchConfig, which uses either @ref SnapPsfMatchConfigDF and @ref SnapPsfMatchConfigAL as its active configuration.

@section ip_diffim_snappsfmatch_Debug Debug variables

The @link lsst.pipe.base.cmdLineTask.CmdLineTask command line task@endlink interface supports a flag @c -d/–debug to import @b debug.py from your @c PYTHONPATH. The relevant contents of debug.py for this Task include:

@code{.py}

import sys import lsstDebug def DebugInfo(name):

di = lsstDebug.getInfo(name) if name == “lsst.ip.diffim.psfMatch”:

di.display = True # enable debug output di.maskTransparency = 80 # ds9 mask transparency di.displayCandidates = True # show all the candidates and residuals di.displayKernelBasis = False # show kernel basis functions di.displayKernelMosaic = True # show kernel realized across the image di.plotKernelSpatialModel = False # show coefficients of spatial model di.showBadCandidates = True # show the bad candidates (red) along with good (green)

elif name == “lsst.ip.diffim.imagePsfMatch”:

@section ip_diffim_snappsfmatch_Example A complete example of using SnapPsfMatchTask

This code is snapPsfMatchTask.py in the examples directory, and can be run as @em e.g. @code examples/snapPsfMatchTask.py examples/snapPsfMatchTask.py –debug examples/snapPsfMatchTask.py –debug –template /path/to/templateExp.fits –science /path/to/scienceExp.fits @endcode

@dontinclude snapPsfMatchTask.py First, create a subclass of SnapPsfMatchTask that accepts two exposures. Ideally these exposures would have been taken back-to-back, such that the pointing/background/Psf does not vary substantially between the two: @skip MySnapPsfMatchTask @until return

And allow the user the freedom to either run the script in default mode, or point to their own images on disk. Note that these images must be readable as an lsst.afw.image.Exposure: @skip main @until parse_args

We have enabled some minor display debugging in this script via the –debug option. However, if you have an lsstDebug debug.py in your PYTHONPATH you will get additional debugging displays. The following block checks for this script: @skip args.debug @until sys.stderr

@dontinclude snapPsfMatchTask.py Finally, we call a run method that we define below. First set up a Config and choose the basis set to use: @skip run(args) @until AL

Make sure the images (if any) that were sent to the script exist on disk and are readable. If no images are sent, make some fake data up for the sake of this example script (have a look at the code if you want more details on generateFakeImages; as a detail of how the fake images were made, you do have to fit for a differential background): @skip requested @until sizeCellY

Display the two images if –debug: @skip args.debug @until Science

Create and run the Task: @skip Create @until result

And finally provide optional debugging display of the Psf-matched (via the Psf models) science image: @skip args.debug @until result.subtractedExposure

Methods Documentation

emptyMetadata()¶: Empty (clear) the metadata for this Task and all sub-Tasks.

getAllSchemaCatalogs()¶

Get schema catalogs for all tasks in the hierarchy, combining the results into a single dict.

Returns:	schemacatalogs : `dict` Keys are butler dataset type, values are a empty catalog (an instance of the appropriate lsst.afw.table Catalog type) for all tasks in the hierarchy, from the top-level task down through all subtasks.

Notes

This method may be called on any task in the hierarchy; it will return the same answer, regardless.

The default implementation should always suffice. If your subtask uses schemas the override Task.getSchemaCatalogs, not this method.

getFullMetadata()¶

Get metadata for all tasks.

Returns:	metadata : `lsst.daf.base.PropertySet` The `PropertySet` keys are the full task name. Values are metadata for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc..

Notes

The returned metadata includes timing information (if @timer.timeMethod is used) and any metadata set by the task. The name of each item consists of the full task name with . replaced by :, followed by . and the name of the item, e.g.:

topLevelTaskName:subtaskName:subsubtaskName.itemName

using : in the full task name disambiguates the rare situation that a task has a subtask and a metadata item with the same name.

getFullName()¶

Get the task name as a hierarchical name including parent task names.

Returns:	fullName : `str` The full name consists of the name of the parent task and each subtask separated by periods. For example: The full name of top-level task “top” is simply “top”. The full name of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub”. The full name of subtask “sub2” of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub.sub2”.

getFwhmPix(psf)¶: !Return the FWHM in pixels of a Psf

getName()¶

Get the name of the task.

Returns:	taskName : `str` Name of the task.

Task.getAllSchemaCatalogs

Notes

Warning

Subclasses that use schemas must override this method. The default implemenation returns an empty dict.

This method may be called at any time after the Task is constructed, which means that all task schemas should be computed at construction time, not when data is actually processed. This reflects the philosophy that the schema should not depend on the data.

Returning catalogs rather than just schemas allows us to save e.g. slots for SourceCatalog as well.

getSelectSources(exposure, sigma=None, doSmooth=True, idFactory=None)¶

!Get sources to use for Psf-matching

This method runs detection and measurement on an exposure. The returned set of sources will be used as candidates for Psf-matching.

@param exposure: Exposure on which to run detection/measurement @param sigma: Detection threshold @param doSmooth: Whether or not to smooth the Exposure with Psf before detection @param idFactory: Factory for the generation of Source ids

@return source catalog containing candidates for the Psf-matching

getTaskDict()¶

Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.

Returns:	taskDict : `dict` Dictionary containing full task name: task object for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc..

makeCandidateList(templateExposure, scienceExposure, kernelSize, candidateList=None)¶

!Make a list of acceptable KernelCandidates

Accept or generate a list of candidate sources for Psf-matching, and examine the Mask planes in both of the images for indications of bad pixels

@param templateExposure: Exposure that will be convolved @param scienceExposure: Exposure that will be matched-to @param kernelSize: Dimensions of the Psf-matching Kernel, used to grow detection footprints @param candidateList: List of Sources to examine. Elements must be of type afw.table.Source

or a type that wraps a Source and has a getSource() method, such as meas.algorithms.PsfCandidateF.

@return a list of dicts having a “source” and “footprint” field for the Sources deemed to be appropriate for Psf matching

classmethod makeField(doc)¶

Make a lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField for this task.

Parameters:	doc : `str` Help text for the field.
Returns:	configurableField : `lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField` A `ConfigurableField` for this task.

Examples

Provides a convenient way to specify this task is a subtask of another task.

Here is an example of use:

class OtherTaskConfig(lsst.pex.config.Config)
    aSubtask = ATaskClass.makeField("a brief description of what this task does")

makeSubtask(name, **keyArgs)¶

Create a subtask as a new instance as the name attribute of this task.

Parameters:	name : `str` Brief name of the subtask. keyArgs Extra keyword arguments used to construct the task. The following arguments are automatically provided and cannot be overridden: “config”. “parentTask”.

Notes

The subtask must be defined by Task.config.name, an instance of pex_config ConfigurableField or RegistryField.
