Methods Documentation

associateDiaSources(diaSourceTable, solarSystemObjectTable, diffIm, diaObjects)

Associate DiaSources with DiaObjects.

Associate new DiaSources with existing DiaObjects. Create new DiaObjects fron unassociated DiaSources. Index DiaSource catalogue after associations. Append new DiaObjects and DiaSources to their previous history. Test for DiaSource and DiaObject duplications. Compute DiaObject Summary statistics from their full DiaSource history. Test for duplication in the updated DiaObjects.

Parameters:
diaSourceTablepandas.DataFrame

Newly detected DiaSources.

solarSystemObjectTablepandas.DataFrame

Preloaded Solar System objects expected to be visible in the image.

diffImlsst.afw.image.ExposureF

Returns:
associatedDiaSourcespandas.DataFrame

Associated DiaSources with DiaObjects.

newDiaObjectspandas.DataFrame

Table of new DiaObjects after association.

createNewDiaObjects(unAssocDiaSources)

Loop through the set of DiaSources and create new DiaObjects for unassociated DiaSources.

Parameters:
unAssocDiaSourcespandas.DataFrame

Set of DiaSources to create new DiaObjects from.

Returns:
resultslsst.pipe.base.Struct

Results struct containing:

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”.
