RefMatchTask

class lsst.meas.astrom.RefMatchTask(refObjLoader, **kwargs)

Bases: lsst.pipe.base.Task

Match an input source catalog with objects from a reference catalog.

Parameters:
refObjLoader : lsst.meas.algorithms.ReferenceLoader

A reference object loader object

**kwargs

additional keyword arguments for pipe_base lsst.pipe.base.Task

Methods Summary

emptyMetadata() Empty (clear) the metadata for this Task and all sub-Tasks.
getFullMetadata() Get metadata for all tasks.
getFullName() Get the task name as a hierarchical name including parent task names.
getName() Get the name of the task.
getTaskDict() Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.
loadAndMatch(exposure, sourceCat) Load reference objects overlapping an exposure and match to sources detected on that exposure.
makeField(doc) Make a lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField for this task.
makeSubtask(name, **keyArgs) Create a subtask as a new instance as the name attribute of this task.
setRefObjLoader(refObjLoader) Sets the reference object loader for the task
timer(name, logLevel) Context manager to log performance data for an arbitrary block of code.

Methods Documentation

emptyMetadata() → None

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

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
getTaskDict() → Dict[str, weakref.ReferenceType[lsst.pipe.base.task.Task]]

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.
loadAndMatch(exposure, sourceCat)

Load reference objects overlapping an exposure and match to sources detected on that exposure.

Parameters:
exposure : lsst.afw.image.Exposure

exposure that the sources overlap

sourceCat : lsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog.

catalog of sources detected on the exposure
Returns:
result : lsst.pipe.base.Struct

Result struct with Components:

ignores config.matchDistanceSigma

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")
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.

setRefObjLoader(refObjLoader)

Sets the reference object loader for the task

Parameters:
refObjLoader

An instance of a reference object loader task or class
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
