Methods Documentation

checkTemplateIsSufficient(templateExposure)

Raise NoWorkFound if template coverage < requiredTemplateFraction.

Parameters:
templateExposure : lsst.afw.image.ExposureF

The template exposure to check.

Raises:
NoWorkFound

Raised if fraction of good pixels, defined as not having NO_DATA set, is less then the configured requiredTemplateFraction.

emptyMetadata() → None

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

fitAstrometry(templateSources, templateExposure, selectSources)

Fit the relative astrometry between templateSources and selectSources

Notes

TODO: Remove this method. It originally fit a new WCS to the template before calling register.run because our TAN-SIP fitter behaved badly for points far from CRPIX, but that’s been fixed. It remains because a subtask overrides it.

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
getResourceConfig() → Optional[ResourceConfig]

Return resource configuration for this task.

Returns:
Object of type ResourceConfig or None if resource
configuration is not defined for this task.
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.

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")
static makeIdFactory(expId, expBits)

Create IdFactory instance for unique 64 bit diaSource id-s.

Parameters:
expId : int

Exposure ID.

expBits : int

Number of used bits in expId.

Returns:
idFactory : lsst.afw.table.IdFactory

Generator object to assign ids to detected sources in the difference image.

Notes

The diasource id-s consists of the expId stored fixed in the highest value expBits of the 64-bit integer plus (bitwise or) a generated sequence number in the low value end of the integer.

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.

prepareCalibratedExposure(exposure, finalizedPsfApCorrCatalog=None)

Prepare a calibrated exposure and apply finalized psf if so configured.

Parameters:
exposure : lsst.afw.image.exposure.Exposure

Input exposure to adjust calibrations.

finalizedPsfApCorrCatalog : lsst.afw.table.ExposureCatalog, optional

Exposure catalog with finalized psf models and aperture correction maps to be applied if config.doApplyFinalizedPsf=True. Catalog uses the detector id for the catalog id, sorted on id for fast lookup.

Returns:
exposure : lsst.afw.image.exposure.Exposure

Exposure with adjusted calibrations.

run(exposure=None, selectSources=None, templateExposure=None, templateSources=None, idFactory=None, calexpBackgroundExposure=None, subtractedExposure=None)

PSF matches, subtract two images and perform detection on the difference image.

Parameters:
exposure : lsst.afw.image.ExposureF, optional

The science exposure, the minuend in the image subtraction. Can be None only if config.doSubtract==False.

selectSources : lsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog, optional

Identified sources on the science exposure. This catalog is used to select sources in order to perform the AL PSF matching on stamp images around them. The selection steps depend on config options and whether templateSources and matchingSources specified.

templateExposure : lsst.afw.image.ExposureF, optional

The template to be subtracted from exposure in the image subtraction. templateExposure is modified in place if config.doScaleTemplateVariance==True. The template exposure should cover the same sky area as the science exposure. It is either a stich of patches of a coadd skymap image or a calexp of the same pointing as the science exposure. Can be None only if config.doSubtract==False and subtractedExposure is not None.

templateSources : lsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog, optional

Identified sources on the template exposure.

idFactory : lsst.afw.table.IdFactory

Generator object to assign ids to detected sources in the difference image.

calexpBackgroundExposure : lsst.afw.image.ExposureF, optional

Background exposure to be added back to the science exposure if config.doAddCalexpBackground==True.

subtractedExposure : lsst.afw.image.ExposureF, optional

If config.doSubtract==False and config.doDetection==True, performs the post subtraction source detection only on this exposure. Otherwise should be None.

Returns:
results : lsst.pipe.base.Struct

Results as a struct with attributes:

subtractedExposure

Difference image (lsst.afw.image.ExposureF).

scoreExposure

The zogy score exposure, if calculated (lsst.afw.image.ExposureF or None).

matchedExposure

The matched PSF exposure (lsst.afw.image.ExposureF).

subtractRes

The returned result structure of the ImagePsfMatchTask subtask (lsst.pipe.base.Struct).

diaSources

The catalog of detected sources (lsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog).

selectSources

The input source catalog with optionally added Qa information (lsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog).

Notes

The following major steps are included:

  • warp template coadd to match WCS of image
  • PSF match image to warped template
  • subtract image from PSF-matched, warped template
  • detect sources
  • measure sources

For details about the image subtraction configuration modes see lsst.ip.diffim.

runDebug(exposure, subtractRes, selectSources, kernelSources, diaSources)

Make debug plots and displays.

Parameters:
exposure : lsst.afw.image.exposure.Exposure

Input exposure.

subtractRes : lsst.pipe.base.Struct

Returned result structure of the ImagePsfMatchTask subtask.
