Bases: MaskedImage

A calibrated single-visit image.

Parameters#

image: The main image plane. If this has a Projection, it will be used for all planes unless a projection is passed separately.
mask: A bitmask image that annotates the main image plane. Must have the same bounding box as image if provided. Any attached projection is replaced (possibly by None).
variance: The per-pixel uncertainty of the main image as an image of variance values. Must have the same bounding box as image if provided, and its units must be the square of image.unit or None. Values default to 1.0. Any attached projection is replaced (possibly by None).
mask_schema: Schema for the mask plane. Must be provided if and only if mask is not provided.
projection: Projection that maps the pixel grid to the sky. Can only be None if a projection is already attached to image.
obs_info: General information about this visit in standardized form.
summary_stats: Optional summary statistics associated with this visit.
psf: Point-spread function model for this image, or an exception explaining why it could not be read (to be raised if the PSF is requested later).

Attributes Documentation

absolute#: A proxy object for slicing a generalized image using absolute pixel coordinates.

Notes#

In this convention, the first row and column of the pixel grid is bbox.start. A subimage and its parent image share the same absolute pixel coordinate system, and most lsst.images types (e.g. Box, Projection, PointSpreadFunction) operate exclusively in this system.

Note that astropy.wcs and numpy.ndarray are not aware of the bbox.start offset that defines tihs coordinates system; use local slicing for indices obtained from those.

See Also#

lsst.images.BoxSliceFactory lsst.images.IntervalSliceFactory

astropy_wcs#: An Astropy WCS for the pixel arrays (ProjectionAstropyView).

Notes#

As expected for Astropy WCS objects, this defines pixel coordinates such that the first row and column in the arrays are (0, 0), not bbox.start, as is the case for projection.

This object satisfies the astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseHighLevelWCS and astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseLowLevelWCS interfaces, but it is not an astropy.wcs.WCS (use fits_wcs for that).

bbox#: The bounding box shared by all three image planes (Box).

butler_dataset#: The butler dataset reference for this image (lsst.daf.butler.SerializedDatasetRef | None).

butler_provenance#: The butler inputs and ID of the task quantum that produced this dataset (lsst.daf.butler.DatasetProvenance | None)

fits_wcs#: An Astropy FITS WCS for this image’s pixel array.

Notes#

As expected for Astropy WCS objects, this defines pixel coordinates such that the first row and column in any associated arrays are (0, 0), not bbox.start, as is the case for projection.

This may be an approximation or absent if projection is not naturally representable as a FITS WCS.

image#: The main image plane (Image).

local#: A proxy object for slicing a generalized image using “local” or “array” pixel coordinates.

Notes#

In this convention, the first row and column of the pixel grid is always at (0, 0). This is also the convention used by astropy.wcs objects. When a subimage is created from a parent image, its “local” coordinate system is offset from the coordinate systems of the parent image.

Note that most lsst.images types (e.g. Box, Projection, PointSpreadFunction) operate instead in “absolute” coordinates, which is shared by subimage and their parents.

lsst.images.BoxSliceFactory lsst.images.IntervalSliceFactory

mask#: The mask plane (Mask).

metadata#: Arbitrary flexible metadata associated with the image (dict).

Notes#

Metadata is shared with subimages and other views. It can be disconnected by reassigning to a copy explicitly:

image.metadata = image.metadata.copy()

obs_info#: General information about this observation in standard form. (ObservationInfo).

projection#: The projection that maps the pixel grid to the sky (Projection [DetectorFrame]).

psf#: The point-spread function model for this image (psfs.PointSpreadFunction).

summary_stats#: Optional summary statistics for this observation (ObservationSummaryStats).

unit#: The units of the image plane (astropy.units.Unit).

variance#: The variance plane (Image).

Methods Documentation

copy() → VisitImage#: Deep-copy the visit image.

static deserialize(model: VisitImageSerializationModel[Any], archive: InputArchive[Any], *, bbox: Box | None = None) → VisitImage#

Deserialize an image from an input archive.

Parameters#

model: A Pydantic model representation of the image, holding references to data stored in the archive.
archive: Archive to read from.
bbox: Bounding box of a subimage to read instead.

static from_legacy(legacy: Any, *, unit: Unit | None = None, plane_map: Mapping[str, MaskPlane] | None = None, instrument: str | None = None, visit: int | None = None) → VisitImage#

Convert from an lsst.afw.image.Exposure instance.

Parameters#

legacy: An lsst.afw.image.Exposure instance that will share image and variance (but not mask) pixel data with the returned object.
unit: Units of the image. If not provided, the BUNIT metadata key will be used, if available.
plane_map: A mapping from legacy mask plane name to the new plane name and description. If None (default) get_legacy_visit_image_mask_planes is used.
instrument: Name of the instrument. Extracted from the metadata if not provided.
visit: ID of the visit. Extracted from the metadata if not provided.

classmethod read_fits(url: str | ParseResult | ResourcePath | Path, *, bbox: Box | None = None) → MaskedImage#

Read an image from a FITS file.

Parameters#

url: URL of the file to read; may be any type supported by lsst.resources.ResourcePath.
bbox: Bounding box of a subimage to read instead.

static read_legacy(filename: str, *, component: Literal['bbox']) → Box#

static read_legacy(filename: str, *, preserve_quantization: bool = False, instrument: str | None = None, visit: int | None = None, component: Literal['image']) → Image

static read_legacy(filename: str, *, plane_map: Mapping[str, MaskPlane] | None = None, instrument: str | None = None, visit: int | None = None, component: Literal['mask']) → Mask

static read_legacy(filename: str, *, preserve_quantization: bool = False, instrument: str | None = None, visit: int | None = None, component: Literal['variance']) → Image

static read_legacy(filename: str, *, instrument: str | None = None, visit: int | None = None, component: Literal['projection']) → Projection[DetectorFrame]

static read_legacy(filename: str, *, preserve_quantization: bool = False, plane_map: Mapping[str, MaskPlane] | None = None, instrument: str | None = None, visit: int | None = None, component: None = None) → VisitImage

Read a FITS file written by lsst.afw.image.Exposure.writeFits.

Parameters#

filename: Full name of the file.
preserve_quantization: If True, ensure that writing the masked image back out again will exactly preserve quantization-compressed pixel values. This causes the image and variance plane arrays to be marked as read-only and stores the original binary table data for those planes in memory. If the MaskedImage is copied, the precompressed pixel values are not transferred to the copy.
plane_map: A mapping from legacy mask plane name to the new plane name and description. If None (default) get_legacy_visit_image_mask_planes is used.
instrument: Name of the instrument. Read from the primary header if not provided.
visit: ID of the visit. Read from the primary header if not provided.
component: A component to read instead of the full image.

serialize(archive: OutputArchive[Any]) → VisitImageSerializationModel#

Parameters#

archive: Archive to write to.

to_legacy(*, copy: bool | None = None, plane_map: Mapping[str, MaskPlane] | None = None) → Any#

Convert to an lsst.afw.image.MaskedImage instance.

Parameters#

copy: If True, always copy the image and variance pixel data. If False, return a view, and raise TypeError if the pixel data is read-only (this is not supported by afw). If None, onyl if the pixel data is read-only. Mask pixel data is always copied.
plane_map: A mapping from legacy mask plane name to the new plane name and description.

Write the image to a FITS file.

Parameters#

filename: Name of the file to write to. Must be a local file.
image_compression: Compression options for the image plane.
mask_compression: Compression options for the mask plane.
variance_compression: Compression options for the variance plane.
compression_seed: A FITS tile compression seed to use whenever the configured compression seed is None or (for backwards compatibility) 0. This value is then incremented every time it is used.
