DirectMatchTask¶

class lsst.meas.astrom.DirectMatchTask(butler=None, refObjLoader=None, **kwargs)¶

Bases: Task

Simple, brute force matching of a source catalog to a reference catalog.

Parameters:

butlerNone: Compatibility parameter. Should not be used.
refObjLoaderlsst.meas.algorithms.ReferenceObjectLoader or None: For loading reference objects.
**kwargs: Other keyword arguments required for instantiating a Task (such as config).

Methods Summary

`calculateCircle`(catalog)	Calculate a circle enclosing the catalog.
`emptyMetadata`()	Empty (clear) the metadata for this Task and all sub-Tasks.
`getFullMetadata`()	Get metadata for all tasks.
`getFullName`()	Get the task name as a hierarchical name including parent task names.
`getName`()	Get the name of the task.
`getTaskDict`()	Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.
`makeField`(doc)	Make a `lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField` for this task.
`makeSubtask`(name, **keyArgs)	Create a subtask as a new instance as the `name` attribute of this task.
`run`(catalog[, filterName, epoch])	Load reference objects and match to them.
`setRefObjLoader`(refObjLoader)	Set the reference object loader for the task.
`timer`(name[, logLevel])	Context manager to log performance data for an arbitrary block of code.

Methods Documentation

calculateCircle(catalog)¶

Calculate a circle enclosing the catalog.

Parameters:

cataloglsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog: Catalog to encircle.

Returns:

resultlsst.pipe.base.Struct

Result struct with components:

center: ICRS center coordinate (lsst.afw.geom.SpherePoint).
radius: Radius of the circle (lsst.geom.Angle).

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.

getFullName

getTaskDict() → Dict[str, ReferenceType[Task]]¶

Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.

Returns:

taskDictdict: Dictionary containing full task name: task object for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc.

classmethod makeField(doc: str) → ConfigurableField¶

Make a lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField for this task.

Parameters:

docstr: Help text for the field.

Returns:

configurableFieldlsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField: A ConfigurableField for this task.

Examples

Provides a convenient way to specify this task is a subtask of another task.

Here is an example of use:

class OtherTaskConfig(lsst.pex.config.Config):
    aSubtask = ATaskClass.makeField("brief description of task")

makeSubtask(name: str, **keyArgs: Any) → None¶

Create a subtask as a new instance as the name attribute of this task.

Parameters:

namestr

Brief name of the subtask.

keyArgs

Extra keyword arguments used to construct the task. The following arguments are automatically provided and cannot be overridden:

“config”.
“parentTask”.

Notes

The subtask must be defined by Task.config.name, an instance of ConfigurableField or RegistryField.

run(catalog, filterName=None, epoch=None)¶

Load reference objects and match to them.

Parameters:

cataloglsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog: Catalog to match.
filterNamestr: Name of filter loading fluxes.
epochastropy.time.Time or None: Epoch to which to correct proper motion and parallax, or None to not apply such corrections.

Returns:

resultlsst.pipe.base.Struct

Result struct with components:

matches: Matched sources with associated reference (lsst.afw.table.SourceMatchVector).
matchMeta: Match metadata (lsst.meas.astrom.MatchMetadata).

setRefObjLoader(refObjLoader)¶

Set the reference object loader for the task.

Parameters:

refObjLoaderlsst.meas.algorithms.ReferenceObjectLoader: An instance of a reference object loader.

timer(name: str, logLevel: int = 10) → Iterator[None]¶

Context manager to log performance data for an arbitrary block of code.

Parameters:

namestr: Name of code being timed; data will be logged using item name: Start and End.
logLevel: A logging level constant.
