ForcedPlugin

class lsst.meas.base.ForcedPlugin(config, name, schemaMapper, metadata, logName=None)

Bases: lsst.meas.base.BaseMeasurementPlugin

Base class for forced measurement plugins.

Parameters:
config : ForcedPlugin.ConfigClass

Configuration for this plugin.

name : str

The string with which the plugin was registered.

schemaMapper : lsst.afw.table.SchemaMapper

A mapping from reference catalog fields to output catalog fields. Output fields should be added to the output schema. While most plugins will not need to map fields from the reference schema, if they do so, those fields will be transferred before any plugins are run.

metadata : lsst.daf.base.PropertySet

Plugin metadata that will be attached to the output catalog.

logName : str, optional

Name to use when logging errors.

Methods Documentation

fail(measRecord, error=None)

Record a failure of the measure or measureN method.

Parameters:
measRecord : lsst.afw.table.SourceRecord

Table record describing the source being measured.

error : MeasurementError, optional

Only provided if the measurement failed due to a MeasurementError being raised; otherwise, will be None.

Notes

When the plugin raises an exception, framework will call BasePlugin.fail to allow the plugin to set its failure flag field(s). When BasePlugin.measureN raises an exception, BasePlugin.fail will be called repeatedly with all the records that were being measured.

If the exception is an MeasurementError, it will be passed as the error argument; in all other cases the error argument will be None, and the failure will be logged by the measurement framework as a warning.

classmethod getExecutionOrder()

Get the relative execution order of this plugin.

Must be reimplemented as a class method by concrete derived classes.

getLogName()
static getTransformClass()

Get the measurement transformation appropriate to this plugin.

This returns a subclass of transforms.MeasurementTransform, which may be instantiated with details of the algorithm configuration and then called with information about calibration and WCS to convert from raw measurement quantities to calibrated units. Calibrated data is then provided in a separate output table.

Notes

By default, we copy everything from the input to the output without transformation.

measure(measRecord, exposure, refRecord, refWcs)

Measure the properties of a source given an image and a reference.

Parameters:
exposure : lsst.afw.image.ExposureF

The pixel data to be measured, together with the associated PSF, WCS, etc. All other sources in the image should have been replaced by noise according to deblender outputs.

measRecord : lsst.afw.table.SourceRecord

Record describing the object being measured. Previously-measured quantities will be retrieved from here, and it will be updated in-place with the outputs of this plugin.

refRecord : lsst.afw.table.SimpleRecord

Additional parameters to define the fit, as measured elsewhere.

refWcs : lsst.afw.geom.SkyWcs or lsst.afw.geom.Angle

The coordinate system for the reference catalog values. An Angle may be passed, indicating that a local tangent WCS should be created for each object using the given angle as a pixel scale.

Notes

In the normal mode of operation, the source centroid will be set to the WCS-transformed position of the reference object, so plugins that only require a reference position should not have to access the reference object at all.

measureN(measCat, exposure, refCat, refWcs)

Measure the properties of blended sources from image & reference.

This operates on all members of a blend family at once.

Parameters:
exposure : lsst.afw.image.ExposureF

The pixel data to be measured, together with the associated PSF, WCS, etc. Sources not in the blended hierarchy to be measured should have been replaced with noise using deblender outputs.

measCat : lsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog

Catalog describing the objects (and only those objects) being measured. Previously-measured quantities will be retrieved from here, and it will be updated in-place with the outputs of this plugin.

refCat : lsst.afw.table.SimpleCatalog

Additional parameters to define the fit, as measured elsewhere. Ordered such that zip(measCat, refcat) may be used.

refWcs : lsst.afw.geom.SkyWcs or lsst.afw.geom.Angle

The coordinate system for the reference catalog values. An Angle may be passed, indicating that a local tangent WCS should be created for each object using the given angle as a pixel scale.

Notes

In the normal mode of operation, the source centroids will be set to the WCS-transformed position of the reference object, so plugins that only require a reference position should not have to access the reference object at all.
