LinearMapping

class lsst.afw.display.LinearMapping(minimum=None, maximum=None, image=None)

Bases: lsst.afw.display.Mapping

A linear map of red, blue, green intensities into uint8 values

Parameters:
minimum : float or sequence of float

Intensity that should be mapped to black. If an array, has three elements for R, G, B.

maximum : float

Intensity that should be mapped to white

image

Image to estimate minimum/maximum if not explicitly set

Methods Summary

intensity(imageR, imageG, imageB) Return the total intensity from the red, blue, and green intensities
makeRgbImage([imageR, imageG, imageB, …]) Convert 3 arrays, imageR, imageG, and imageB into a numpy RGB image
mapIntensityToUint8(intensity) Return an array which, when multiplied by an image, returns that image mapped to the range of a uint8, [0, 255] (but not converted to uint8)

Methods Documentation

intensity(imageR, imageG, imageB)

Return the total intensity from the red, blue, and green intensities

Notes

This is a naive computation, and may be overridden by subclasses

makeRgbImage(imageR=None, imageG=None, imageB=None, xSize=None, ySize=None, rescaleFactor=None)

Convert 3 arrays, imageR, imageG, and imageB into a numpy RGB image

imageR : lsst.afw.image.Image or numpy.ndarray, (Nx, Ny)
Image to map to red (if None, use the image passed to the ctor)
imageG : lsst.afw.image.Image or numpy.ndarray, (Nx, Ny), optional
Image to map to green (if None, use imageR)
imageB : lsst.afw.image.Image or numpy.ndarray, (Nx, Ny), optional
Image to map to blue (if None, use imageR)
xSize : int, optional
Desired width of RGB image. If ySize is None, preserve aspect ratio
ySize : int, optional
Desired height of RGB image
rescaleFactor : float, optional
Make size of output image rescaleFactor*size of the input image
mapIntensityToUint8(intensity)

Return an array which, when multiplied by an image, returns that image mapped to the range of a uint8, [0, 255] (but not converted to uint8)

The intensity is assumed to have had minimum subtracted (as that can be done per-band)
