lsst.ap.pipe

The lsst.ap.pipe module links together a set of common image processing tasks so that a user may run one command on a dataset of raw, ingested images rather than several. The Alert Production (AP) pipeline includes the following key data processing Tasks for LSST Prompt Data Products: IsrTask, CharacterizeImageTask, CalibrateTask, ImageDifferenceTask, and DiaPipelineTask.

At present, the alert production pipeline is implemented using the Gen 3 framework:

• ApPipe is an lsst.pipe.base.Pipeline that reads and writes data using the lsst.daf.butler package.
