AssembleCoaddTask

class lsst.drp.tasks.assemble_coadd.AssembleCoaddTask(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: CoaddBaseTask, PipelineTask

Assemble a coadded image from a set of warps.

Each Warp that goes into a coadd will have its flux calibrated to nJy. WarpType may be one of ‘direct’ or ‘psfMatched’, and the boolean configs config.makeDirect and config.makePsfMatched set which of the warp types will be coadded. The coadd is computed as a mean with optional outlier rejection. Criteria for outlier rejection are set in AssembleCoaddConfig. Finally, Warps can have bad ‘NaN’ pixels which received no input from the source calExps. We interpolate over these bad (NaN) pixels.

AssembleCoaddTask uses several sub-tasks. These are

  • ScaleZeroPointTask

  • create and use an imageScaler object to scale the photometric zeropoint for each Warp (deprecated and will be removed in DM-49083).

  • InterpImageTask

  • interpolate across bad pixels (NaN) in the final coadd

You can retarget these subtasks if you wish.

Raises:
RuntimeError

Raised if unable to define mask plane for bright objects.

Notes

Debugging: AssembleCoaddTask has no debug variables of its own. Some of the subtasks may support lsstDebug variables. See the documentation for the subtasks for further information.

Methods Documentation

applyAltMaskPlanes(mask, altMaskSpans)

Apply in place alt mask formatted as SpanSets to a mask.

Parameters:
masklsst.afw.image.Mask

Original mask.

altMaskSpansdict

SpanSet lists to apply. Each element contains the new mask plane name (e.g. “CLIPPED and/or “NO_DATA”) as the key, and list of SpanSets to apply to the mask.

Returns:
masklsst.afw.image.Mask

Updated mask.

assembleMetadata(coaddExposure, warpRefList, weightList, psfMatchedWarpRefList=None)

Set the metadata for the coadd.

This basic implementation sets the filter from the first input.

Parameters:
coaddExposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

The target exposure for the coadd.

warpRefListlist

List of dataset handles (data references) to warp.

weightListlist

List of weights.

psfMatchedWarpRefListlist | None, optional

List of dataset handles (data references) to psfMatchedWarps.

Raises:
AssertionError

Raised if there is a length mismatch.

assembleOnlineMeanCoadd(coaddExposure, warpRefList, imageScalerList, weightList, altMaskList, statsCtrl, nImage=None)

Assemble the coadd using the “online” method.

This method takes a running sum of images and weights to save memory. It only works for MEAN statistics.

Parameters:
coaddExposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

The target exposure for the coadd.

warpRefListlist

List of dataset handles (data references) to warp.

imageScalerListlist

List of image scalers. Deprecated and will be removed after v29 in DM-49083.

weightListlist

List of weights.

altMaskListlist

List of alternate masks to use rather than those stored with warp, or None. Each element is dict with keys = mask plane name to which to add the spans.

statsCtrllsst.afw.math.StatisticsControl

nImagelsst.afw.image.ImageU, optional

Keeps track of exposure count for each pixel.

assembleSubregion(coaddExposure, bbox, warpRefList, imageScalerList, weightList, altMaskList, statsFlags, statsCtrl, nImage=None)

Assemble the coadd for a sub-region.

For each coaddTempExp, check for (and swap in) an alternative mask if one is passed. Remove mask planes listed in config.removeMaskPlanes. Finally, stack the actual exposures using lsst.afw.math.statisticsStack with the statistic specified by statsFlags. Typically, the statsFlag will be one of lsst.afw.math.MEAN for a mean-stack or lsst.afw.math.MEANCLIP for outlier rejection using an N-sigma clipped mean where N and iterations are specified by statsCtrl. Assign the stacked subregion back to the coadd.
