ComputeExposureSummaryStatsTask¶

class lsst.pipe.tasks.computeExposureSummaryStats.ComputeExposureSummaryStatsTask(**kwargs)¶

Bases: Task

Task to compute exposure summary statistics.

This task computes various quantities suitable for DPDD and other downstream processing at the detector centers, including: - psfSigma - psfArea - psfIxx - psfIyy - psfIxy - ra - dec - zenithDistance - zeroPoint - skyBg - skyNoise - meanVar - raCorners - decCorners - astromOffsetMean - astromOffsetStd

These additional quantities are computed from the stars in the detector: - psfStarDeltaE1Median - psfStarDeltaE2Median - psfStarDeltaE1Scatter - psfStarDeltaE2Scatter - psfStarDeltaSizeMedian - psfStarDeltaSizeScatter - psfStarScaledDeltaSizeScatter

These quantities are computed based on the PSF model and image mask to assess the robustness of the PSF model across a given detector (against, e.g., extrapolation instability): - maxDistToNearestPsf - psfTraceRadiusDelta

These quantities are computed to assess depth: - effTime - effTimePsfSigmaScale - effTimeSkyBgScale - effTimeZeroPointScale

Methods Documentation

emptyMetadata() → None¶: Empty (clear) the metadata for this Task and all sub-Tasks.

getFullMetadata() → TaskMetadata¶

Get metadata for all tasks.

Returns:

metadataTaskMetadata: The keys are the full task name. Values are metadata for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc.

Notes

The returned metadata includes timing information (if @timer.timeMethod is used) and any metadata set by the task. The name of each item consists of the full task name with . replaced by :, followed by . and the name of the item, e.g.:

topLevelTaskName:subtaskName:subsubtaskName.itemName

using : in the full task name disambiguates the rare situation that a task has a subtask and a metadata item with the same name.

getFullName() → str¶

Get the task name as a hierarchical name including parent task names.

Returns:

fullNamestr

The full name consists of the name of the parent task and each subtask separated by periods. For example:

The full name of top-level task “top” is simply “top”.
The full name of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub”.
The full name of subtask “sub2” of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub.sub2”.

getName() → str¶

Get the name of the task.

Returns:

taskNamestr: Name of the task.

lsst.utils.timer.logInfo: Implementation function.

Examples

Creating a timer context:

with self.timer("someCodeToTime"):
    pass  # code to time

update_background_stats(summary, background)¶

Compute summary-statistic fields that depend only on the background model.

Parameters:

summarylsst.afw.image.ExposureSummaryStats: Summary object to update in-place.
backgroundlsst.afw.math.BackgroundList or None: Background model. If None, all fields that depend on the background will be reset (generally to NaN).

Notes

This does not include fields that depend on the background-subtracted masked image; when the background changes, it should generally be applied to the image and update_masked_image_stats should be called as well.

update_effective_time_stats(summary, exposure)¶

Compute effective exposure time statistics to estimate depth.

The effective exposure time is the equivalent shutter open time that would be needed under nominal conditions to give the same signal-to-noise for a point source as what is achieved by the observation of interest. This metric combines measurements of the point-spread function, the sky brightness, and the transparency.

The effective exposure time and its subcomponents are defined in [1]

Parameters:

summarylsst.afw.image.ExposureSummaryStats: Summary object to update in-place.
exposurelsst.afw.image.ExposureF: Exposure to grab band and exposure time metadata

update_masked_image_stats(summary, masked_image)¶

Compute summary-statistic fields that depend on the masked image itself.

Parameters:

summarylsst.afw.image.ExposureSummaryStats: Summary object to update in-place.
masked_imagelsst.afw.image.MaskedImage or None: Masked image. If None, all fields that depend on the masked image will be reset (generally to NaN).

update_photo_calib_stats(summary, photo_calib)¶

Compute all summary-statistic fields that depend on the photometric calibration model.

Parameters:

summarylsst.afw.image.ExposureSummaryStats: Summary object to update in-place.
photo_caliblsst.afw.image.PhotoCalib or None: Photometric calibration model. If None, all fields that depend on the photometric calibration will be reset (generally to NaN).

update_psf_stats(summary, psf, bbox, sources=None, image_mask=None, sources_is_astropy=False)¶

Compute all summary-statistic fields that depend on the PSF model.

Parameters:

sourceslsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog or astropy.table.Table: Catalog for quantities that are computed from source table columns. If None, these quantities will be reset (generally to NaN). The type of this table must correspond to the sources_is_astropy argument.
image_masklsst.afw.image.Mask, optional: Mask image that may be used to compute distance-to-nearest-star metrics.
sources_is_astropybool, optional: Whether sources is an astropy.table.Table instance instead of an lsst.afw.table.Catalog instance. Default is False (the latter).
