lsst.faro¶
The lsst.faro module contains code for computing scientific performance metrics on the outputs of the LSST science pipelines.
Prior to the development of the Gen3 middleware, the Gen2-based  lsst.validate.drp package computed scientific performance metrics.
lsst.faro is the new Gen3 middleware- and PipelineTask- based package for computing scientific performance metrics.
The algorithms implemented in validate_drp were ported as-is to run in lsst.faro.
validate_drp is now deprecated; all future development of metrics will be carried out in lsst.faro.
