DecorrelateALKernelSpatialTask¶
Pipe-task that removes the neighboring-pixel covariance in an image difference that are added when the template image is convolved with the Alard-Lupton PSF matching kernel.
Description¶
This task is a simple wrapper around DecorrelateALKernelTask,
which takes a spatiallyVarying parameter in its run method. If
it is False, then it simply calls the run method of
DecorrelateALKernelTask. If it is True, then it uses the
ImageMapReduceTask framework to break the exposures into
subExposures on a grid, and performs the run method of
DecorrelateALKernelTask on each subExposure. This enables it to
account for spatially-varying PSFs and noise in the exposures when
performing the decorrelation.
This task has no standalone example, however it is applied as a
subtask of ImageDifferenceTask.
There is also an example of its use in tests/testImageDecorrelation.py.
