SafeClipAssembleCoaddTask

class lsst.pipe.tasks.assembleCoadd.SafeClipAssembleCoaddTask(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: lsst.pipe.tasks.assembleCoadd.AssembleCoaddTask

Assemble a coadded image from a set of coadded temporary exposures, being careful to clip & flag areas with potential artifacts.

In AssembleCoaddTask, we compute the coadd as an clipped mean (i.e., we clip outliers). The problem with doing this is that when computing the coadd PSF at a given location, individual visit PSFs from visits with outlier pixels contribute to the coadd PSF and cannot be treated correctly. In this task, we correct for this behavior by creating a new badMaskPlane ‘CLIPPED’. We populate this plane on the input coaddTempExps and the final coadd where

  1. difference imaging suggests that there is an outlier and
  2. this outlier appears on only one or two images.

Such regions will not contribute to the final coadd. Furthermore, any routine to determine the coadd PSF can now be cognizant of clipped regions. Note that the algorithm implemented by this task is preliminary and works correctly for HSC data. Parameter modifications and or considerable redesigning of the algorithm is likley required for other surveys.

SafeClipAssembleCoaddTask uses a SourceDetectionTask “clipDetection” subtask and also sub-classes AssembleCoaddTask. You can retarget the SourceDetectionTask “clipDetection” subtask if you wish.

Notes

The lsst.pipe.base.CmdLineTask interface supports a flag -d to import debug.py from your PYTHONPATH; see baseDebug for more about debug.py files. SafeClipAssembleCoaddTask has no debug variables of its own. The SourceDetectionTask “clipDetection” subtasks may support debug variables. See the documetation for SourceDetectionTask “clipDetection” for further information.

Examples

SafeClipAssembleCoaddTask assembles a set of warped coaddTempExp images into a coadded image. The SafeClipAssembleCoaddTask is invoked by running assembleCoadd.py without the flag ‘–legacyCoadd’.

Usage of assembleCoadd.py expects a data reference to the tract patch and filter to be coadded (specified using ‘–id = [KEY=VALUE1[^VALUE2[^VALUE3…] [KEY=VALUE1[^VALUE2[^VALUE3…] …]]’) along with a list of coaddTempExps to attempt to coadd (specified using ‘–selectId [KEY=VALUE1[^VALUE2[^VALUE3…] [KEY=VALUE1[^VALUE2[^VALUE3…] …]]’). Only the coaddTempExps that cover the specified tract and patch will be coadded. A list of the available optional arguments can be obtained by calling assembleCoadd.py with the –help command line argument:

assembleCoadd.py --help

To demonstrate usage of the SafeClipAssembleCoaddTask in the larger context of multi-band processing, we will generate the HSC-I & -R band coadds from HSC engineering test data provided in the ci_hsc package. To begin, assuming that the lsst stack has been already set up, we must set up the obs_subaru and ci_hsc packages. This defines the environment variable $CI_HSC_DIR and points at the location of the package. The raw HSC data live in the $CI_HSC_DIR/raw directory. To begin assembling the coadds, we must first

  • processCcd
    process the individual ccds in $CI_HSC_RAW to produce calibrated exposures
  • makeSkyMap
    create a skymap that covers the area of the sky present in the raw exposures
  • makeCoaddTempExp
    warp the individual calibrated exposures to the tangent plane of the coadd</DD>

We can perform all of these steps by running

$CI_HSC_DIR scons warp-903986 warp-904014 warp-903990 warp-904010 warp-903988

This will produce warped coaddTempExps for each visit. To coadd the warped data, we call assembleCoadd.py as follows:

assembleCoadd.py $CI_HSC_DIR/DATA --id patch=5,4 tract=0 filter=HSC-I        --selectId visit=903986 ccd=16 --selectId visit=903986 ccd=22 --selectId visit=903986 ccd=23        --selectId visit=903986 ccd=100--selectId visit=904014 ccd=1 --selectId visit=904014 ccd=6        --selectId visit=904014 ccd=12 --selectId visit=903990 ccd=18 --selectId visit=903990 ccd=25        --selectId visit=904010 ccd=4 --selectId visit=904010 ccd=10 --selectId visit=904010 ccd=100        --selectId visit=903988 ccd=16 --selectId visit=903988 ccd=17 --selectId visit=903988 ccd=23        --selectId visit=903988 ccd=24

This will process the HSC-I band data. The results are written in $CI_HSC_DIR/DATA/deepCoadd-results/HSC-I.

You may also choose to run:

scons warp-903334 warp-903336 warp-903338 warp-903342 warp-903344 warp-903346 nnn
assembleCoadd.py $CI_HSC_DIR/DATA --id patch=5,4 tract=0 filter=HSC-R --selectId visit=903334 ccd=16        --selectId visit=903334 ccd=22 --selectId visit=903334 ccd=23 --selectId visit=903334 ccd=100        --selectId visit=903336 ccd=17 --selectId visit=903336 ccd=24 --selectId visit=903338 ccd=18        --selectId visit=903338 ccd=25 --selectId visit=903342 ccd=4 --selectId visit=903342 ccd=10        --selectId visit=903342 ccd=100 --selectId visit=903344 ccd=0 --selectId visit=903344 ccd=5        --selectId visit=903344 ccd=11 --selectId visit=903346 ccd=1 --selectId visit=903346 ccd=6        --selectId visit=903346 ccd=12

Methods Documentation

applyAltMaskPlanes(mask, altMaskSpans)

Apply in place alt mask formatted as SpanSets to a mask.

Parameters:
mask : lsst.afw.image.Mask

Original mask.

altMaskSpans : dict

SpanSet lists to apply. Each element contains the new mask plane name (e.g. “CLIPPED and/or “NO_DATA”) as the key, and list of SpanSets to apply to the mask.

Returns:
mask : lsst.afw.image.Mask

Updated mask.

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:
config : instance 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.

assembleMetadata(coaddExposure, tempExpRefList, weightList)

Set the metadata for the coadd.

This basic implementation sets the filter from the first input.

Parameters:
coaddExposure : lsst.afw.image.Exposure

The target exposure for the coadd.

tempExpRefList : list

List of data references to tempExp.

weightList : list

List of weights.

assembleSubregion(coaddExposure, bbox, tempExpRefList, imageScalerList, weightList, altMaskList, statsFlags, statsCtrl, nImage=None)

Assemble the coadd for a sub-region.

For each coaddTempExp, check for (and swap in) an alternative mask if one is passed. Remove mask planes listed in config.removeMaskPlanes. Finally, stack the actual exposures using lsst.afw.math.statisticsStack with the statistic specified by statsFlags. Typically, the statsFlag will be one of lsst.afw.math.MEAN for a mean-stack or lsst.afw.math.MEANCLIP for outlier rejection using an N-sigma clipped mean where N and iterations are specified by statsCtrl. Assign the stacked subregion back to the coadd.

Parameters:

The target exposure for the coadd.

bbox : lsst.geom.Box

Sub-region to coadd.

tempExpRefList : list

List of data reference to tempExp.

imageScalerList : list

List of image scalers.

weightList : list

List of weights.

altMaskList : list

List of alternate masks to use rather than those stored with tempExp, or None. Each element is dict with keys = mask plane name to which to add the spans.

buildDifferenceImage(skyInfo, tempExpRefList, imageScalerList, weightList)

Return an exposure that contains the difference between unclipped and clipped coadds.

Generate a difference image between clipped and unclipped coadds. Compute the difference image by subtracting an outlier-clipped coadd from an outlier-unclipped coadd. Return the difference image.

Parameters:
skyInfo : lsst.pipe.base.Struct

Patch geometry information, from getSkyInfo

tempExpRefList : list

List of data reference to tempExp

Difference image of unclipped and clipped coadd wrapped in an Exposure

detectClip(exp, tempExpRefList)

Detect clipped regions on an exposure and set the mask on the individual tempExp masks.

Detect footprints in the difference image after smoothing the difference image with a Gaussian kernal. Identify footprints that overlap with one or two input coaddTempExps by comparing the computed overlap fraction to thresholds set in the config. A different threshold is applied depending on the number of overlapping visits (restricted to one or two). If the overlap exceeds the thresholds, the footprint is considered “CLIPPED” and is marked as such on the coaddTempExp. Return a struct with the clipped footprints, the indices of the coaddTempExps that end up overlapping with the clipped footprints, and a list of new masks for the coaddTempExps.

Parameters:
exp : lsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure to run detection on.

tempExpRefList : list

List of data reference to tempExp.

Returns:
result : lsst.pipe.base.Struct

Result struct with components:

  • clipFootprints: list of clipped footprints.
  • clipIndices: indices for each clippedFootprint in
    tempExpRefList.

    to clip. Each element contains the new maskplane name (“CLIPPED”) as the key and list of SpanSets as the value.
  • detectionFootprints: List of DETECTED/DETECTED_NEGATIVE plane
    compressed into footprints.
detectClipBig(clipList, clipFootprints, clipIndices, detectionFootprints, maskClipValue, maskDetValue, coaddBBox)

Return individual warp footprints for large artifacts and append them to clipList in place.

Identify big footprints composed of many sources in the coadd difference that may have originated in a large diffuse source in the coadd. We do this by indentifying all clipped footprints that overlap significantly with each source in all the coaddTempExps.

Parameters:
clipList : list

List of alt mask SpanSets with clipping information. Modified.

clipFootprints : list

List of clipped footprints.

clipIndices : list

Returns:
schemacatalogs : dict

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.

getBadPixelMask()

! @brief Convenience method to provide the bitmask from the mask plane names

getCoaddDatasetName(warpType='direct')

Return coadd name for given warpType and task config

Parameters:
warpType : string

Either ‘direct’ or ‘psfMatched’

Returns:
CoaddDatasetName : string
getFullMetadata()

Get metadata for all tasks.

Returns:
metadata : lsst.daf.base.PropertySet

The PropertySet 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()

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

Returns:
fullName : str

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()

Get the name of the task.

Returns:
taskName : str

Name of the task.

getFullName

getResourceConfig()

Return resource configuration for this task.

Returns:
Object of type `~config.ResourceConfig` or ``None`` if resource
configuration is not defined for this task.
getSchemaCatalogs()

Get the schemas generated by this task.

Returns:
schemaCatalogs : dict

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 implemenation 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.

getSkyInfo(patchRef)

! @brief Use @ref getSkyinfo to return the skyMap, tract and patch information, wcs and the outer bbox of the patch.

@param[in] patchRef data reference for sky map. Must include keys “tract” and “patch”

getTempExpDatasetName(warpType='direct')

Return warp name for given warpType and task config

Parameters:
warpType : string

Either ‘direct’ or ‘psfMatched’

Here is an example of use:

class OtherTaskConfig(lsst.pex.config.Config)
    aSubtask = ATaskClass.makeField("a brief description of what this task does")
makeSubtask(name, **keyArgs)

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

makeSupplementaryData(dataRef, selectDataList=None, warpRefList=None)

Make additional inputs to run() specific to subclasses (Gen2)

Duplicates interface of runDataRef method Available to be implemented by subclasses only if they need the coadd dataRef for performing preliminary processing before assembling the coadd.

Parameters:
dataRef : lsst.daf.persistence.ButlerDataRef

Butler data reference for supplementary data.

selectDataList : list (optional)

Optional List of data references to Calexps.

warpRefList : list (optional)

Optional List of data references to Warps.

makeSupplementaryDataGen3(butlerQC, inputRefs, outputRefs)

Make additional inputs to run() specific to subclasses (Gen3)

Duplicates interface of runQuantum method. Available to be implemented by subclasses only if they need the coadd dataRef for performing preliminary processing before assembling the coadd.

Parameters:
butlerQC : lsst.pipe.base.ButlerQuantumContext

Gen3 Butler object for fetching additional data products before running the Task specialized for quantum being processed

inputRefs : lsst.pipe.base.InputQuantizedConnection

Attributes are the names of the connections describing input dataset types. Values are DatasetRefs that task consumes for corresponding dataset type. DataIds are guaranteed to match data objects in inputData.

outputRefs : lsst.pipe.base.OutputQuantizedConnection

Attributes are the names of the connections describing output dataset types. Values are DatasetRefs that task is to produce for corresponding dataset type.

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

Parse an argument list and run the command.

Parameters:
args : list, optional

List of command-line arguments; if None use sys.argv.

config : lsst.pex.config.Config-type, optional

Config for task. If None use Task.ConfigClass.

log : lsst.log.Log-type, optional

Log. If None use the default log.

doReturnResults : bool, 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:
struct : lsst.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.

prepareInputs(refList)

Prepare the input warps for coaddition by measuring the weight for each warp and the scaling for the photometric zero point.

Each Warp has its own photometric zeropoint and background variance. Before coadding these Warps together, compute a scale factor to normalize the photometric zeropoint and compute the weight for each Warp.

The masked image to be modified.

run(skyInfo, tempExpRefList, imageScalerList, weightList, *args, **kwargs)

Assemble a coadd from input warps

Assemble the coadd using the provided list of coaddTempExps. Since the full coadd covers a patch (a large area), the assembly is performed over small areas on the image at a time in order to conserve memory usage. Iterate over subregions within the outer bbox of the patch using assembleSubregion to stack the corresponding subregions from the coaddTempExps with the statistic specified. Set the edge bits the coadd mask based on the weight map.

Parameters:
skyInfo : lsst.pipe.base.Struct

Struct with geometric information about the patch.

tempExpRefList : list

List of data references to Warps (previously called CoaddTempExps).

imageScalerList : list

List of image scalers.

weightList : list

List of weights

altMaskList : list, optional

List of alternate masks to use rather than those stored with tempExp.

mask : int, optional

Bit mask value to exclude from coaddition.

supplementaryData : lsst.pipe.base.Struct, optional

Struct with additional data products needed to assemble coadd. Only used by subclasses that implement makeSupplementaryData and override run.

Returns:
result : lsst.pipe.base.Struct

Result struct with components:

  • coaddExposure: coadded exposure (lsst.afw.image.Exposure).
  • nImage: exposure count image (lsst.afw.image.Image), if requested.
  • warpRefList: input list of refs to the warps (
    lsst.daf.butler.DeferredDatasetHandle or lsst.daf.persistence.ButlerDataRef) (unmodified)
  • imageScalerList: input list of image scalers (unmodified)
  • weightList: input list of weights (unmodified)
Assemble the coadd for a region.
Compute the difference of coadds created with and without outlier
rejection to identify coadd pixels that have outlier values in some
individual visits.
Detect clipped regions on the difference image and mark these regions
on the one or two individual coaddTempExps where they occur if there
is significant overlap between the clipped region and a source. This
leaves us with a set of footprints from the difference image that have
been identified as having occured on just one or two individual visits.
However, these footprints were generated from a difference image. It
is conceivable for a large diffuse source to have become broken up
into multiple footprints acrosss the coadd difference in this process.
Determine the clipped region from all overlapping footprints from the
detected sources in each visit - these are big footprints.
Combine the small and big clipped footprints and mark them on a new
bad mask plane.
Generate the coadd using `AssembleCoaddTask.run` without outlier
removal. Clipped footprints will no longer make it into the coadd
because they are marked in the new bad mask plane.

Notes

args and kwargs are passed but ignored in order to match the call signature expected by the parent task.

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.

Notes

Assemble a coadd from a set of Warps.

PipelineTask (Gen3) entry point to Coadd a set of Warps. Analogous to runDataRef, it prepares all the data products to be passed to run, and processes the results before returning a struct of results to be written out. AssembleCoadd cannot fit all Warps in memory. Therefore, its inputs are accessed subregion by subregion by the Gen3 DeferredDatasetHandle that is analagous to the Gen2 lsst.daf.persistence.ButlerDataRef. Any updates to this method should correspond to an update in runDataRef while both entry points are used.

selectExposures(patchRef, skyInfo=None, selectDataList=[])

! @brief Select exposures to coadd

Get the corners of the bbox supplied in skyInfo using @ref geom.Box2D and convert the pixel positions of the bbox corners to sky coordinates using @ref skyInfo.wcs.pixelToSky. Use the @ref WcsSelectImagesTask_ “WcsSelectImagesTask” to select exposures that lie inside the patch indicated by the dataRef.

@param[in] patchRef data reference for sky map patch. Must include keys “tract”, “patch”,
plus the camera-specific filter key (e.g. “filter” or “band”)

@param[in] skyInfo geometry for the patch; output from getSkyInfo @return a list of science exposures to coadd, as butler data references

setBrightObjectMasks(exposure, brightObjectMasks, dataId=None)

Set the bright object masks.

Parameters:
exposure : lsst.afw.image.Exposure

Exposure under consideration.

dataId : lsst.daf.persistence.dataId

Data identifier dict for patch.

brightObjectMasks : lsst.afw.table

Table of bright objects to mask.

setInexactPsf(mask)

Set INEXACT_PSF mask plane.

If any of the input images isn’t represented in the coadd (due to clipped pixels or chip gaps), the CoaddPsf will be inexact. Flag these pixels.

Parameters:
mask : lsst.afw.image.Mask

Coadded exposure’s mask, modified in-place.

static setRejectedMaskMapping(statsCtrl)

Map certain mask planes of the warps to new planes for the coadd.

If a pixel is rejected due to a mask value other than EDGE, NO_DATA, or CLIPPED, set it to REJECTED on the coadd. If a pixel is rejected due to EDGE, set the coadd pixel to SENSOR_EDGE. If a pixel is rejected due to CLIPPED, set the coadd pixel to CLIPPED.

Parameters:
statsCtrl : lsst.afw.math.StatisticsControl

Statistics control object for coadd

Returns:
maskMap : list of tuple of int

A list of mappings of mask planes of the warped exposures to mask planes of the coadd.

shrinkValidPolygons(coaddInputs)

Shrink coaddInputs’ ccds’ ValidPolygons in place.

Either modify each ccd’s validPolygon in place, or if CoaddInputs does not have a validPolygon, create one from its bbox.

Parameters:
coaddInputs : lsst.afw.image.coaddInputs

Original mask.

timer(name, logLevel=10000)

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

Parameters:
name : str

Name of code being timed; data will be logged using item name: Start and End.

logLevel

A lsst.log level constant.

timer.logInfo

Examples

Creating a timer context:

with self.timer("someCodeToTime"):
    pass  # code to time
writeConfig(butler, clobber=False, doBackup=True)

Write the configuration used for processing the data, or check that an existing one is equal to the new one if present.

Parameters:
butler : lsst.daf.persistence.Butler

Data butler used to write the config. The config is written to dataset type CmdLineTask._getConfigName.

clobber : bool, optional

A boolean flag that controls what happens if a config already has been saved: - True: overwrite or rename the existing config, depending on doBackup. - False: raise TaskError if this config does not match the existing config.

doBackup : bool, optional

Set to True to backup the config files if clobbering.

writeMetadata(dataRef)

Write the metadata produced from processing the data.

Parameters:
dataRef

Butler data reference used to write the metadata. The metadata is written to dataset type CmdLineTask._getMetadataName.

writePackageVersions(butler, clobber=False, doBackup=True, dataset='packages')

Compare and write package versions.

Parameters:
butler : lsst.daf.persistence.Butler

Data butler used to read/write the package versions.

clobber : bool, optional

A boolean flag that controls what happens if versions already have been saved: - True: overwrite or rename the existing version info, depending on doBackup. - False: raise TaskError if this version info does not match the existing.

doBackup : bool, optional

If True and clobbering, old package version files are backed up.

dataset : str, optional

Name of dataset to read/write.

Raises:
TaskError

Raised if there is a version mismatch with current and persisted lists of package versions.

Notes

Note that this operation is subject to a race condition.

writeSchemas(butler, clobber=False, doBackup=True)

Write the schemas returned by lsst.pipe.base.Task.getAllSchemaCatalogs.

Parameters:
butler : lsst.daf.persistence.Butler

Data butler used to write the schema. Each schema is written to the dataset type specified as the key in the dict returned by getAllSchemaCatalogs.

clobber : bool, optional

A boolean flag that controls what happens if a schema already has been saved: - True: overwrite or rename the existing schema, depending on doBackup. - False: raise TaskError if this schema does not match the existing schema.

doBackup : bool, optional

Set to True to backup the schema files if clobbering.

Notes

If clobber is False and an existing schema does not match a current schema, then some schemas may have been saved successfully and others may not, and there is no easy way to tell which is which.
