Bases: SourceDetectionConfig

Configuration for DynamicDetectionTask

Attributes Summary

`adjustBackground`	Fiddle factor to add to the background; debugging only (`float`, default `0.0`)

Attributes Documentation

adjustBackground¶: Fiddle factor to add to the background; debugging only (float, default 0.0)

brightMaskFractionMax¶: Maximum allowed fraction of masked pixes from the “bright” detection stage (to mask regions unsuitable for sky sourcess). If this fraction is exeeded, the detection threshold for this stage will be increased by bisectFactor until the fraction of masked pixels drops below this threshold. (float, default 0.95)

tempWideBackground¶: A wide (large-scale) background estimation and removal before footprint and peak detection. It is added back into the image after detection. The purpose is to suppress very large footprints (e.g., from large artifacts) that the deblender may choke on. (ConfigurableInstance, default <class 'lsst.meas.algorithms.subtractBackground.SubtractBackgroundConfig'>)

Parameters:

namestr: Name of a Field in this config.
kwargs: Keyword arguments passed to lsst.pex.config.history.format.

Field value.

keys()¶

Get field names.

Returns:

namesKeysView: List of lsst.pex.config.Field names.

load(filename, root='config')¶

Modify this config in place by executing the Python code in a configuration file.

Parameters:

filenamestr

Name of the configuration file. A configuration file is Python module.

rootstr, optional

Name of the variable in file that refers to the config being overridden.

For example, the value of root is "config" and the file contains:

config.myField = 5

Then this config’s field myField is set to 5.

See also

lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromString
lsst.pex.config.Config.save
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToStream

loadFromStream(stream, root='config', filename=None)¶

Modify this Config in place by executing the Python code in the provided stream.

Parameters:

streamfile-like object, str, bytes, or compiled string

Stream containing configuration override code. If this is a code object, it should be compiled with mode="exec".

rootstr, optional

Name of the variable in file that refers to the config being overridden.

For example, the value of root is "config" and the file contains:

config.myField = 5

Then this config’s field myField is set to 5.

filenamestr, optional

Name of the configuration file, or None if unknown or contained in the stream. Used for error reporting.

See also

lsst.pex.config.Config.load
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromString
lsst.pex.config.Config.save
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToString

Notes

For backwards compatibility reasons, this method accepts strings, bytes and code objects as well as file-like objects. New code should use loadFromString instead for most of these types.

loadFromString(code, root='config', filename=None)¶

Modify this Config in place by executing the Python code in the provided string.

Parameters:

codestr, bytes, or compiled string

Stream containing configuration override code.

rootstr, optional

Name of the variable in file that refers to the config being overridden.

For example, the value of root is "config" and the file contains:

config.myField = 5

Then this config’s field myField is set to 5.

filenamestr, optional

Name of the configuration file, or None if unknown or contained in the stream. Used for error reporting.

See also

lsst.pex.config.Config.load
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.save
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToString

names()¶

Get all the field names in the config, recursively.

Returns:

nameslist of str: Field names.

save(filename, root='config')¶

Save a Python script to the named file, which, when loaded, reproduces this config.

Parameters:

filenamestr: Desination filename of this configuration.
rootstr, optional: Name to use for the root config variable. The same value must be used when loading (see lsst.pex.config.Config.load).

See also

lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToString
lsst.pex.config.Config.load
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromString

saveToStream(outfile, root='config', skipImports=False)¶

Save a configuration file to a stream, which, when loaded, reproduces this config.

Parameters:

outfilefile-like object: Destination file object write the config into. Accepts strings not bytes.
root: Name to use for the root config variable. The same value must be used when loading (see lsst.pex.config.Config.load).
skipImportsbool, optional: If True then do not include import statements in output, this is to support human-oriented output from pipetask where additional clutter is not useful.

See also

lsst.pex.config.Config.save
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToString
lsst.pex.config.Config.load
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromString

saveToString(skipImports=False)¶

Return the Python script form of this configuration as an executable string.

Parameters:

skipImportsbool, optional: If True then do not include import statements in output, this is to support human-oriented output from pipetask where additional clutter is not useful.

Returns:

codestr: A code string readable by loadFromString.

See also

lsst.pex.config.Config.save
lsst.pex.config.Config.saveToStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.load
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromStream
lsst.pex.config.Config.loadFromString

setDefaults()¶

Subclass hook for computing defaults.

Notes

Derived Config classes that must compute defaults rather than using the Field instances’s defaults should do so here. To correctly use inherited defaults, implementations of setDefaults must call their base class’s setDefaults.

toDict()¶

Make a dictionary of field names and their values.

Returns:

dict_dict: Dictionary with keys that are Field names. Values are Field values.

See also

lsst.pex.config.Field.toDict

Notes

This method uses the toDict method of individual fields. Subclasses of Field may need to implement a toDict method for this method to work.

update(**kw)¶

Update values of fields specified by the keyword arguments.

Parameters:

kw: Keywords are configuration field names. Values are configuration field values.

Notes

The __at and __label keyword arguments are special internal keywords. They are used to strip out any internal steps from the history tracebacks of the config. Do not modify these keywords to subvert a Config instance’s history.

Examples

This is a config with three fields:

>>> from lsst.pex.config import Config, Field
>>> class DemoConfig(Config):
...     fieldA = Field(doc='Field A', dtype=int, default=42)
...     fieldB = Field(doc='Field B', dtype=bool, default=True)
...     fieldC = Field(doc='Field C', dtype=str, default='Hello world')
...
>>> config = DemoConfig()

These are the default values of each field:

>>> for name, value in config.iteritems():
...     print(f"{name}: {value}")
...
fieldA: 42
fieldB: True
fieldC: 'Hello world'

Using this method to update fieldA and fieldC:

>>> config.update(fieldA=13, fieldC='Updated!')

Now the values of each field are:

>>> for name, value in config.iteritems():
...     print(f"{name}: {value}")
...
fieldA: 13
fieldB: True
fieldC: 'Updated!'

validate()¶

Validate the Config, raising an exception if invalid.

Raises:

lsst.pex.config.FieldValidationError: Raised if verification fails.

Notes

The base class implementation performs type checks on all fields by calling their validate methods.

Complex single-field validation can be defined by deriving new Field types. For convenience, some derived lsst.pex.config.Field-types (ConfigField and ConfigChoiceField) are defined in lsst.pex.config that handle recursing into subconfigs.

Inter-field relationships should only be checked in derived Config classes after calling this method, and base validation is complete.

values()¶

Get field values.

Returns:

valuesValuesView: Iterator of field values.
