BrighterFatterKernel

class lsst.ip.isr.BrighterFatterKernel(camera=None, level=None, **kwargs)

Bases: IsrCalib

Calibration of brighter-fatter kernels for an instrument.

ampKernels are the kernels for each amplifier in a detector, as generated by having level == 'AMP'.

detectorKernel is the kernel generated for a detector as a whole, as generated by having level == 'DETECTOR'.

makeDetectorKernelFromAmpwiseKernels is a method to generate the kernel for a detector, constructed by averaging together the ampwise kernels in the detector. The existing application code is only defined for kernels with level == 'DETECTOR', so this method is used if the supplied kernel was built with level == 'AMP'.

Parameters:

cameralsst.afw.cameraGeom.Camera

Camera describing detector geometry.

levelstr

Level the kernels will be generated for.

loglogging.Logger, optional

Log to write messages to.

**kwargs

Parameters to pass to parent constructor.

Notes

Version 1.1 adds the expIdMask property, and substitutes means and variances for rawMeans and rawVariances from the PTC dataset.

expIdMaskdict, [str,`numpy.ndarray`]

Dictionary keyed by amp names containing the mask produced after outlier rejection.

rawMeansdict, [str, numpy.ndarray]

Dictionary keyed by amp names containing the unmasked average of the means of the exposures in each flat pair.

rawVariancesdict, [str, numpy.ndarray]

Dictionary keyed by amp names containing the variance of the difference image of the exposures in each flat pair. Corresponds to rawVars of PTC.

rawXcorrsdict, [str, numpy.ndarray]

Dictionary keyed by amp names containing an array of measured covariances per mean flux. Corresponds to covariances of PTC.

badAmpslist

List of bad amplifiers names.

shapetuple

noisedict, [str,`float`]

Methods Documentation

apply(target)

Method to apply the calibration to the target object.

Parameters:

targetobject

Thing to validate against.

Returns:

validbool

Returns true if the calibration was applied correctly.

Raises:

NotImplementedError

Raised if not implemented.

calibInfoFromDict(dictionary)

Handle common keywords.

This isn’t an ideal solution, but until all calibrations expect to find everything in the metadata, they still need to search through dictionaries.

Parameters:

dictionarydict or lsst.daf.base.PropertyList

Source for the common keywords.

Raises:

RuntimeError

Raised if the dictionary does not match the expected OBSTYPE.

classmethod determineCalibClass(metadata, message)

Attempt to find calibration class in metadata.

Parameters:

metadatadict or lsst.daf.base.PropertyList

Metadata possibly containing a calibration class entry.

messagestr

Message to include in any errors.

Returns:

calibClassobject

The class to use to read the file contents. Should be an lsst.ip.isr.IsrCalib subclass.

Raises:

ValueError

Raised if the resulting calibClass is the base lsst.ip.isr.IsrClass (which does not implement the content methods).

fromDetector(detector)

Modify the calibration parameters to match the supplied detector.

Parameters:

detectorlsst.afw.cameraGeom.Detector

Detector to use to set parameters from.

Raises:

NotImplementedError

Raised if not implemented by a subclass. This needs to be implemented by subclasses for each calibration type.

classmethod fromDict(dictionary)

Construct a calibration from a dictionary of properties.

Parameters:

dictionarydict

Dictionary of properties.

Returns:

caliblsst.ip.isr.BrighterFatterKernel

Constructed calibration.

Raises:

RuntimeError

Raised if the supplied dictionary is for a different calibration. Raised if the version of the supplied dictionary is 1.0.

classmethod fromTable(tableList)

Construct calibration from a list of tables.

This method uses the fromDict method to create the calibration, after constructing an appropriate dictionary from the input tables.

Parameters:

tableListlist [astropy.table.Table]

List of tables to use to construct the brighter-fatter calibration.

Returns:

caliblsst.ip.isr.BrighterFatterKernel

The calibration defined in the tables.

getLengths()

Return the set of lengths needed for reshaping components.

Returns:

kernelLengthint

Product of the elements of self.shape.

smallLengthint

Size of an untiled covariance.

nObsint

Number of observation pairs used in the kernel.

getMetadata()

Retrieve metadata associated with this calibration.

Returns:

metalsst.daf.base.PropertyList

Metadata. The returned PropertyList can be modified by the caller and the changes will be written to external files.

initFromCamera(camera, detectorId=None)

Initialize kernel structure from camera.

Parameters:

cameralsst.afw.cameraGeom.Camera

Camera to use to define geometry.

detectorIdint, optional

Index of the detector to generate.

Returns:

caliblsst.ip.isr.BrighterFatterKernel

The initialized calibration.

Raises:

RuntimeError

Raised if no detectorId is supplied for a calibration with level='AMP'.

makeDetectorKernelFromAmpwiseKernels(detectorName, ampsToExclude=[])
