LinearitySolveTask¶

LinearitySolveTask constructs a linearity correction model (a Linearizer) based on the results stored in the input photon transfer curve (PTC) dataset.

Processing summary¶

LinearitySolveTask runs these operations:

Convert the input exposure time/photodiode flux measurement to a proxy flux by fitting the low-flux end with a linear fit.
Perform fit against using the observed flux and this linear proxy flux (using either a spline or a polynomial).
Store the correction, such that the corrected flux is equal to the uncorrected flux + the linearity correction as a function of the uncorrected flux.

Python API summary¶

from lsst.cp.pipe.linearity import LinearitySolveTask

classLinearitySolveTask(*, config: Optional[PipelineTaskConfig] = None, log: Optional[Union[logging.Logger, LsstLogAdapter]] = None, initInputs: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, **kwargs): Fit the linearity from the PTC dataset...

attributeconfig: Access configuration fields and retargetable subtasks.

methodrun(inputPtc, dummy, camera, inputDims, inputPhotodiodeCorrection=None): Fit non-linearity to PTC data, returning the correct Linearizer object...
