Methods Documentation

classmethod applyOverrides(config)¶

A hook to allow a task to change the values of its config after the camera-specific overrides are loaded but before any command-line overrides are applied.

Parameters:

configinstance of task’s ConfigClass: Task configuration.

Notes

This is necessary in some cases because the camera-specific overrides may retarget subtasks, wiping out changes made in ConfigClass.setDefaults. See LSST Trac ticket #2282 for more discussion.

Warning

This is called by CmdLineTask.parseAndRun; other ways of constructing a config will not apply these overrides.

checkTemplateIsSufficient(templateExposure)¶

Raise NoWorkFound if template coverage < requiredTemplateFraction

Parameters:

templateExposurelsst.afw.image.ExposureF: The template exposure to check

Raises:

NoWorkFound: Raised if fraction of good pixels, defined as not having NO_DATA set, is less then the configured requiredTemplateFraction

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

fitAstrometry(templateSources, templateExposure, selectSources)¶: Fit the relative astrometry between templateSources and selectSources

getAllSchemaCatalogs() → Dict[str, Any]¶

Get schema catalogs for all tasks in the hierarchy, combining the results into a single dict.

Returns:

schemacatalogsdict: Keys are butler dataset type, values are a empty catalog (an instance of the appropriate lsst.afw.table Catalog type) for all tasks in the hierarchy, from the top-level task down through all subtasks.

Notes

This method may be called on any task in the hierarchy; it will return the same answer, regardless.

The default implementation should always suffice. If your subtask uses schemas the override Task.getSchemaCatalogs, not this method.

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

getResourceConfig() → Optional[ResourceConfig]¶

Return resource configuration for this task.

Returns:

Object of type ResourceConfig or None if resource
configuration is not defined for this task.

getSchemaCatalogs()¶: Return a dict of empty catalogs for each catalog dataset produced by this task.

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")

static makeIdFactory(expId, expBits)¶

Create IdFactory instance for unique 64 bit diaSource id-s.

Parameters:

expIdint: Exposure id.
expBits: `int`: Number of used bits in expId.

Returns:

idFactory: lsst.afw.table.IdFactory

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.

classmethod parseAndRun(args=None, config=None, log=None, doReturnResults=False)¶

Parse an argument list and run the command.

Parameters:

argslist, optional: List of command-line arguments; if None use sys.argv.
configlsst.pex.config.Config-type, optional: Config for task. If None use Task.ConfigClass.
loglogging.Logger-type, optional: Log. If None use the default log.
doReturnResultsbool, optional: If True, return the results of this task. Default is False. This is only intended for unit tests and similar use. It can easily exhaust memory (if the task returns enough data and you call it enough times) and it will fail when using multiprocessing if the returned data cannot be pickled.

Returns:

structlsst.pipe.base.Struct

Fields are:

argumentParser: the argument parser (lsst.pipe.base.ArgumentParser).
parsedCmd: the parsed command returned by the argument parser’s parse_args method (argparse.Namespace).
taskRunner: the task runner used to run the task (an instance of Task.RunnerClass).
resultList: results returned by the task runner’s run method, one entry per invocation (list). This will typically be a list of Struct, each containing at least an exitStatus integer (0 or 1); see Task.RunnerClass (TaskRunner by default) for more details.

Notes

Calling this method with no arguments specified is the standard way to run a command-line task from the command-line. For an example see pipe_tasks bin/makeSkyMap.py or almost any other file in that directory.

If one or more of the dataIds fails then this routine will exit (with a status giving the number of failed dataIds) rather than returning this struct; this behaviour can be overridden by specifying the --noExit command-line option.

prepareCalibratedExposure(exposure, finalizedPsfApCorrCatalog=None)¶

Prepare a calibrated exposure and apply finalized psf if so configured.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.exposure.Exposure: Input exposure to adjust calibrations.
finalizedPsfApCorrCataloglsst.afw.table.ExposureCatalog, optional: Exposure catalog with finalized psf models and aperture correction maps to be applied if config.doApplyFinalizedPsf=True. Catalog uses the detector id for the catalog id, sorted on id for fast lookup.

Returns:

exposurelsst.afw.image.exposure.Exposure: Exposure with adjusted calibrations.

run(exposure=None, selectSources=None, templateExposure=None, templateSources=None, idFactory=None, calexpBackgroundExposure=None, subtractedExposure=None)¶

PSF matches, subtract two images and perform detection on the difference image.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.ExposureF, optional: The science exposure, the minuend in the image subtraction. Can be None only if config.doSubtract==False.
selectSourceslsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog, optional: Identified sources on the science exposure. This catalog is used to select sources in order to perform the AL PSF matching on stamp images around them. The selection steps depend on config options and whether templateSources and matchingSources specified.
templateExposurelsst.afw.image.ExposureF, optional: The template to be subtracted from exposure in the image subtraction. templateExposure is modified in place if config.doScaleTemplateVariance==True. The template exposure should cover the same sky area as the science exposure. It is either a stich of patches of a coadd skymap image or a calexp of the same pointing as the science exposure. Can be None only if config.doSubtract==False and subtractedExposure is not None.
templateSourceslsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog, optional: Identified sources on the template exposure.
idFactorylsst.afw.table.IdFactory: Generator object to assign ids to detected sources in the difference image.
calexpBackgroundExposurelsst.afw.image.ExposureF, optional: Background exposure to be added back to the science exposure if config.doAddCalexpBackground==True
subtractedExposurelsst.afw.image.ExposureF, optional: If config.doSubtract==False and config.doDetection==True, performs the post subtraction source detection only on this exposure. Otherwise should be None.

Returns:

resultslsst.pipe.base.Struct

subtractedExposurelsst.afw.image.ExposureF: Difference image.
scoreExposurelsst.afw.image.ExposureF or None: The zogy score exposure, if calculated.
matchedExposurelsst.afw.image.ExposureF: The matched PSF exposure.

subtract image from PSF-matched, warped template
detect sources
measure sources
