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.

convertIntToFloat(exposure)

Convert exposure image from uint16 to float.

If the exposure does not need to be converted, the input is immediately returned. For exposures that are converted to use floating point pixels, the variance is set to unity and the mask to zero.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

The raw exposure to be converted.

Returns:

newexposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

The input exposure, converted to floating point pixels.

Raises:

RuntimeError

Raised if the exposure type cannot be converted to float.

darkCorrection(exposure, darkExposure, invert=False)

Apply dark correction in place.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to process.

darkExposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Dark exposure of the same size as exposure.

invertBool, optional

If True, re-add the dark to an already corrected image.

Raises:

RuntimeError

Raised if either exposure or darkExposure do not have their dark time defined.

See also

lsst.ip.isr.isrFunctions.darkCorrection

debugView(exposure, stepname)

Utility function to examine ISR exposure at different stages.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to view.

stepnamestr

State of processing to view.

doLinearize(detector)

Check if linearization is needed for the detector cameraGeom.

Checks config.doLinearize and the linearity type of the first amplifier.

Parameters:

detectorlsst.afw.cameraGeom.Detector

Detector to get linearity type from.

Returns:

doLinearizeBool

If True, linearization should be performed.

emptyMetadata() → None

Empty (clear) the metadata for this Task and all sub-Tasks.

ensureExposure(inputExp, camera=None, detectorNum=None)

Ensure that the data returned by Butler is a fully constructed exp.

ISR requires exposure-level image data for historical reasons, so if we did not recieve that from Butler, construct it from what we have, modifying the input in place.

Parameters:

inputExplsst.afw.image.Exposure, lsst.afw.image.DecoratedImageU,

or lsst.afw.image.ImageF

The input data structure obtained from Butler.

cameralsst.afw.cameraGeom.camera, optional

The camera associated with the image. Used to find the appropriate detector if detector is not already set.

detectorNumint, optional

The detector in the camera to attach, if the detector is not already set.

Returns:

inputExplsst.afw.image.Exposure

The re-constructed exposure, with appropriate detector parameters.

Raises:

TypeError

Raised if the input data cannot be used to construct an exposure.

flatContext(exp, flat, dark=None)

Context manager that applies and removes flats and darks, if the task is configured to apply them.

Parameters:

explsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to process.

flatlsst.afw.image.Exposure

Flat exposure the same size as exp.

darklsst.afw.image.Exposure, optional

Dark exposure the same size as exp.

Yields:

explsst.afw.image.Exposure

The flat and dark corrected exposure.

flatCorrection(exposure, flatExposure, invert=False)

Apply flat correction in place.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to process.

flatExposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Flat exposure of the same size as exposure.

invertBool, optional

If True, unflatten an already flattened image.

lsst.ip.isr.isrFunctions.flatCorrection

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”.

getIsrExposure(dataRef, datasetType, dateObs=None, immediate=True)

Retrieve a calibration dataset for removing instrument signature.

Parameters:

dataRefdaf.persistence.butlerSubset.ButlerDataRef

DataRef of the detector data to find calibration datasets for.

datasetTypestr

Type of dataset to retrieve (e.g. ‘bias’, ‘flat’, etc).

dateObsstr, optional

Date of the observation. Used to correct butler failures when using fallback filters.

immediateBool

If True, disable butler proxies to enable error handling within this routine.

Returns:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Requested calibration frame.

Raises:

RuntimeError

Raised if no matching calibration frame can be found.

getName() → str

Get the name of the task.

Returns:

taskNamestr

Name of the task.

See also

getFullName

getResourceConfig() → ResourceConfig | None

Return resource configuration for this task.

Returns:

Object of type ResourceConfig or None if resource

configuration is not defined for this task.

getSchemaCatalogs() → Dict[str, Any]

Get the schemas generated by this task.

Returns:

schemaCatalogsdict

Keys are butler dataset type, values are an empty catalog (an instance of the appropriate lsst.afw.table Catalog type) for this task.

See also

Task.getAllSchemaCatalogs

Notes

Warning

Subclasses that use schemas must override this method. The default implementation returns an empty dict.

This method may be called at any time after the Task is constructed, which means that all task schemas should be computed at construction time, not when data is actually processed. This reflects the philosophy that the schema should not depend on the data.

Returning catalogs rather than just schemas allows us to save e.g. slots for SourceCatalog as well.

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.

If this is true, the entire amplifier area is covered by defects and unusable.

maskAndInterpolateDefects(exposure, defectBaseList)

Mask and interpolate defects using mask plane “BAD”, in place.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to process.

defectBaseListlsst.ip.isr.Defects or list of

lsst.afw.image.DefectBase.

List of defects to mask and interpolate.

See also

lsst.ip.isr.isrTask.maskDefect

maskAndInterpolateNan(exposure)

“Mask and interpolate NaN/infs using mask plane “UNMASKEDNAN”, in place.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to process.

See also

lsst.ip.isr.isrTask.maskNan

maskDefect(exposure, defectBaseList)

Mask defects using mask plane “BAD”, in place.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to process.

defectBaseListlsst.ip.isr.Defects or list of

lsst.afw.image.DefectBase.

List of defects to mask.

Notes

Call this after CCD assembly, since defects may cross amplifier boundaries.

maskEdges(exposure, numEdgePixels=0, maskPlane='SUSPECT', level='DETECTOR')

Mask edge pixels with applicable mask plane.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to process.

numEdgePixelsint, optional

Number of edge pixels to mask.

maskPlanestr, optional

levelstr, optional

Level at which to mask edges.

maskNan(exposure)

Mask NaNs using mask plane “UNMASKEDNAN”, in place.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to process.

Notes

We mask over all non-finite values (NaN, inf), including those that are masked with other bits (because those may or may not be interpolated over later, and we want to remove all NaN/infs). Despite this behaviour, the “UNMASKEDNAN” mask plane is used to preserve the historical name.

maskNegativeVariance(exposure)

Identify and mask pixels with negative variance values.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to process.

See also

lsst.ip.isr.isrFunctions.updateVariance

IsrQaConfiglsst.ip.isr.isrQa.IsrQaConfig

Configuration object containing parameters on which background statistics and subgrids to use.

overscanCorrection(ccdExposure, amp)

Apply overscan correction in place.

This method does initial pixel rejection of the overscan region. The overscan can also be optionally segmented to allow for discontinuous overscan responses to be fit separately. The actual overscan subtraction is performed by the lsst.ip.isr.isrFunctions.overscanCorrection function, which is called here after the amplifier is preprocessed.

Parameters:

ccdExposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to have overscan correction performed.

amplsst.afw.cameraGeom.Amplifer

The amplifier to consider while correcting the overscan.

Returns:

Value or fit subtracted from the amplifier image data.

• overscanFitscalar or lsst.afw.image.Image

  Value or fit subtracted from the overscan image data.

• overscanImagelsst.afw.image.Image

  Image of the overscan region with the overscan correction applied. This quantity is used to estimate the amplifier read noise empirically.

Raises:

RuntimeError

Raised if the amp does not contain raw pixel information.

See also

lsst.ip.isr.isrFunctions.overscanCorrection

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.

readIsrData(dataRef, rawExposure)

Retrieve necessary frames for instrument signature removal.

Pre-fetching all required ISR data products limits the IO required by the ISR. Any conflict between the calibration data available and that needed for ISR is also detected prior to doing processing, allowing it to fail quickly.

Parameters:

dataRefdaf.persistence.butlerSubset.ButlerDataRef

Butler reference of the detector data to be processed

rawExposureafw.image.Exposure

The raw exposure that will later be corrected with the retrieved calibration data; should not be modified in this method.

Returns:

runDataRef(sensorRef)

Perform instrument signature removal on a ButlerDataRef of a Sensor.

This method contains the CmdLineTask interface to the ISR processing. All IO is handled here, freeing the run() method to manage only pixel-level calculations. The steps performed are: - Read in necessary detrending/isr/calibration data. - Process raw exposure in run(). - Persist the ISR-corrected exposure as “postISRCCD” if

config.doWrite=True.

outputRefsOutputQuantizedConnection

Datastructure whose attribute names are the names that identify connections defined in corresponding PipelineTaskConnections class. The values of these attributes are the lsst.daf.butler.DatasetRef objects associated with the defined output connections.

saturationDetection(exposure, amp)

Detect and mask saturated pixels in config.saturatedMaskName.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

amplsst.afw.table.AmpInfoCatalog

Amplifier detector data.

See also

lsst.ip.isr.isrFunctions.makeThresholdMask

saturationInterpolation(exposure)

Interpolate over saturated pixels, in place.

This method should be called after saturationDetection, to ensure that the saturated pixels have been identified in the SAT mask. It should also be called after assembleCcd, since saturated regions may cross amplifier boundaries.

Parameters:

exposurelsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to process.

See also

lsst.ip.isr.isrTask.saturationDetection

lsst.ip.isr.isrFunctions.interpolateFromMask

suspectDetection(exposure, amp)

Notes

Suspect pixels are pixels whose value is greater than amp.getSuspectLevel(). This is intended to indicate pixels that may be affected by unknown systematics; for example if non-linearity corrections above a certain level are unstable then that would be a useful value for suspectLevel. A value of nan indicates that no such level exists and no pixels are to be masked as suspicious.
