Methods Documentation

addSnaps(snap0, snap1)

Add two snap exposures together, returning a new exposure.

Parameters:
snap0 : Unknown

Snap exposure 0.

snap1 : Unknown

Snap exposure 1.

Returns:
combinedExp : Unknown

Combined exposure.

emptyMetadata() → None

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

fixMetadata(combinedMetadata, metadata0, metadata1)

Fix the metadata of the combined exposure (in place).

This implementation handles items specified by config.averageKeys and config.sumKeys, which have data type restrictions. To handle other data types (such as sexagesimal positions and ISO dates) you must supplement this method with your own code.

Parameters:
combinedMetadata : lsst.daf.base.PropertySet

Metadata of combined exposure; on input this is a deep copy of metadata0 (a PropertySet).

metadata0 : lsst.daf.base.PropertySet

Metadata of snap0 (a PropertySet).

metadata1 : lsst.daf.base.PropertySet

Metadata of snap1 (a PropertySet).

Notes

The inputs are presently PropertySets due to ticket #2542. However, in some sense they are just PropertyLists that are missing some methods. In particular: comments and order are preserved if you alter an existing value with set(key, value).

getAllSchemaCatalogs() → Dict[str, Any]

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.

getFullMetadata() → lsst.pipe.base._task_metadata.TaskMetadata

Get metadata for all tasks.

Returns:
metadata : TaskMetadata

The 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() → str

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() → str

Get the name of the task.

Returns:
taskName : str

Name of the task.

getFullName
getSchemaCatalogs() → Dict[str, Any]

Get the schemas generated by this task.

Returns:
schemaCatalogs : dict

Keys are butler dataset type, values are an empty catalog (an instance of the appropriate lsst.afw.table Catalog type) for this task.

Task.getAllSchemaCatalogs

Notes

Warning

Subclasses that use schemas must override this method. The default implementation returns an empty dict.

This method may be called at any time after the Task is constructed, which means that all task schemas should be computed at construction time, not when data is actually processed. This reflects the philosophy that the schema should not depend on the data.

Returning catalogs rather than just schemas allows us to save e.g. slots for SourceCatalog as well.

getTaskDict() → Dict[str, weakref]

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: str) → lsst.pex.config.configurableField.ConfigurableField

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("brief description of task")
makeInitialPsf(exposure, fwhmPix=None)

Initialise the detection procedure by setting the PSF and WCS.

exposure : lsst.afw.image.Exposure
Exposure to process.
Returns:
psf : Unknown

PSF, WCS

AssertionError

Raised if any of the following occur: - No exposure provided. - No wcs in exposure.

makeSubtask(name: str, **keyArgs) → None

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 ConfigurableField or RegistryField.

run(snap0, snap1, defects=None)

Combine two snaps.

Parameters:
snap0 : Unknown

Snapshot exposure 0.

snap1 : Unknown

Snapshot exposure 1.

defects : list or None, optional

Defect list (for repair task).

Returns:
result : lsst.pipe.base.Struct

Results as a struct with attributes:

exposure

Snap-combined exposure.

sources

Detected sources, or None if detection not performed.

timer(name: str, logLevel: int = 10) → Iterator[None]

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 logging level constant.

with self.timer("someCodeToTime"):
    pass  # code to time
