ForcedPhotImageTask¶

class lsst.meas.base.ForcedPhotImageTask(butler=None, refSchema=None, **kwds)¶

Bases: lsst.pipe.base.CmdLineTask

A base class for command-line forced measurement drivers.

Parameters:

butler : lsst.daf.persistence.butler.Butler, optional: A Butler which will be passed to the references subtask to allow it to load its schema from disk. Optional, but must be specified if refSchema is not; if both are specified, refSchema takes precedence.
refSchema : lsst.afw.table.Schema, optional: The schema of the reference catalog, passed to the constructor of the references subtask. Optional, but must be specified if butler is not; if both are specified, refSchema takes precedence.
**kwds: Keyword arguments are passed to the supertask constructor.

Notes

This is a an abstract class, which is the common ancestor for ForcedPhotCcdTask and ForcedPhotCoaddTask. It provides the runDataRef method that does most of the work, while delegating a few customization tasks to other methods that are overridden by subclasses.

This task is not directly usable as a command line task. Subclasses must:

Set the _DefaultName class attribute;
Implement makeIdFactory;
Implement fetchReferences;
Optionally, implement attachFootprints.

Methods Documentation

classmethod applyOverrides(config)¶

A hook to allow a task to change the values of its config after the camera-specific overrides are loaded but before any command-line overrides are applied.

Parameters:	config : instance of task’s `ConfigClass` Task configuration.

Notes

This is necessary in some cases because the camera-specific overrides may retarget subtasks, wiping out changes made in ConfigClass.setDefaults. See LSST Trac ticket #2282 for more discussion.

Warning

This is called by CmdLineTask.parseAndRun; other ways of constructing a config will not apply these overrides.

attachFootprints(sources, refCat, exposure, refWcs, dataRef)¶

Attach footprints to blank sources prior to measurements.

Notes

Footprints for forced photometry must be in the pixel coordinate system of the image being measured, while the actual detections may start out in a different coordinate system.

Subclasses of this class must implement this method to define how those Footprints should be generated.

This default implementation transforms the Footprints from the reference catalog from the reference WCS to the exposure’s WcS, which downgrades lsst.afw.detection.heavyFootprint.HeavyFootprints into regular Footprints, destroying deblend information.

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

fetchReferences(dataRef, exposure)¶

Hook for derived classes to define how to get reference objects.

Notes

Derived classes should call one of the fetch* methods on the references subtask, but which one they call depends on whether the region to get references for is a easy to describe in patches (as it would be when doing forced measurements on a coadd), or is just an arbitrary box (as it would be for CCD forced measurements).

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.

getExposure(dataRef)¶

Read input exposure on which measurement will be performed.

Parameters:	dataRef : `lsst.daf.persistence.ButlerDataRef` Butler data reference.

getExposureId(dataRef)¶

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”.

getName()¶

Get the name of the task.

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

See also

getFullName

getSchemaCatalogs()¶

The schema catalogs that will be used by this task.

Returns:	schemaCatalogs : `dict` Dictionary mapping dataset type to schema catalog.

Notes

There is only one schema for each type of forced measurement. The dataset type for this measurement is defined in the mapper.

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..

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")

makeIdFactory(dataRef)¶

Hook for derived classes to make an ID factory for forced sources.

Notes

That this applies to forced source IDs, not object IDs, which are usually handled by the measurement.copyColumns config option.

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.

classmethod parseAndRun(args=None, config=None, log=None, doReturnResults=False)¶

Parse an argument list and run the command.

Parameters:

args : list, optional: List of command-line arguments; if None use sys.argv.
config : lsst.pex.config.Config-type, optional: Config for task. If None use Task.ConfigClass.
log : lsst.log.Log-type, optional: Log. If None use the default log.
doReturnResults : bool, optional: If True, return the results of this task. Default is False. This is only intended for unit tests and similar use. It can easily exhaust memory (if the task returns enough data and you call it enough times) and it will fail when using multiprocessing if the returned data cannot be pickled.

Returns:

struct : lsst.pipe.base.Struct

Fields are:

argumentParser: the argument parser.
parsedCmd: the parsed command returned by the argument parser’s lsst.pipe.base.ArgumentParser.parse_args method.
taskRunner: the task runner used to run the task (an instance of Task.RunnerClass).
resultList: results returned by the task runner’s run method, one entry per invocation.

This will typically be a list of None unless doReturnResults is True; see Task.RunnerClass (TaskRunner by default) for more information.

Notes

Calling this method with no arguments specified is the standard way to run a command-line task from the command-line. For an example see pipe_tasks bin/makeSkyMap.py or almost any other file in that directory.

If one or more of the dataIds fails then this routine will exit (with a status giving the number of failed dataIds) rather than returning this struct; this behaviour can be overridden by specifying the --noExit command-line option.

run(measCat, exposure, refCat, refWcs, exposureId=None)¶

Perform forced measurement on a single exposure.

Parameters:

measCat : lsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog: The measurement catalog, based on the sources listed in the reference catalog.
exposure : lsst.afw.image.Exposure: The measurement image upon which to perform forced detection.
refCat : lsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog: The reference catalog of sources to measure.
refWcs : lsst.afw.image.SkyWcs: The WCS for the references.
exposureId : int: Optional unique exposureId used for random seed in measurement task.

Returns:

result : lsst.pipe.base.Struct

Structure with fields:

measCat: Catalog of forced measurement results (lsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog).

runDataRef(dataRef, psfCache=None)¶

Perform forced measurement on a single exposure.

Parameters:

dataRef : lsst.daf.persistence.ButlerDataRef: Passed to the references subtask to obtain the reference WCS, the getExposure method (implemented by derived classes) to read the measurment image, and the fetchReferences method to get the exposure and load the reference catalog (see :lsst-task`lsst.meas.base.references.CoaddSrcReferencesTask`). Refer to derived class documentation for details of the datasets and data ID keys which are used.
psfCache : int, optional: Size of PSF cache, or None. The size of the PSF cache can have a significant effect upon the runtime for complicated PSF models.

Notes

Sources are generated with generateMeasCat in the measurement subtask. These are passed to measurement’s run method, which fills the source catalog with the forced measurement results. The sources are then passed to the writeOutputs method (implemented by derived classes) which writes the outputs.

timer(name, logLevel=10000)¶

Context manager to log performance data for an arbitrary block of code.

Parameters:	name : `str` Name of code being timed; data will be logged using item name: `Start` and `End`. logLevel A `lsst.log` level constant.
