JointcalTask¶

class lsst.jointcal.JointcalTask(butler=None, initInputs=None, **kwargs)¶

Bases: lsst.pipe.base.PipelineTask, lsst.pipe.base.CmdLineTask

Astrometricly and photometricly calibrate across multiple visits of the same field.

Parameters:	butler : `lsst.daf.persistence.Butler` The butler is passed to the refObjLoader constructor in case it is needed. Ignored if the refObjLoader argument provides a loader directly. Used to initialize the astrometry and photometry refObjLoaders. initInputs : `dict`, optional Dictionary used to initialize PipelineTasks (empty for jointcal).

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:	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.

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

getAllSchemaCatalogs()¶

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

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.

getFullMetadata()¶

Get metadata for all tasks.

Returns:	metadata : `lsst.daf.base.PropertySet` or `TaskMetadata` 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()¶

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.

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()¶

Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.

Returns:	taskDict : `dict` Dictionary containing full task name: task object for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc.

loadData(dataRefs, associations, jointcalControl)¶: Read the data that jointcal needs to run. (Gen2 version)

classmethod makeField(doc)¶

Make a lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField for this task.

Parameters:	doc : `str` Help text for the field.
Returns:	configurableField : `lsst.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, **keyArgs)¶

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

Parameters:	name : `str` 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:

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 : logging.Logger-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.

run(inputSourceTableVisit, inputVisitSummary, inputCamera, tract=None)¶

Run task algorithm on in-memory data.

This method should be implemented in a subclass. This method will receive keyword arguments whose names will be the same as names of connection fields describing input dataset types. Argument values will be data objects retrieved from data butler. If a dataset type is configured with multiple field set to True then the argument value will be a list of objects, otherwise it will be a single object.

If the task needs to know its input or output DataIds then it has to override runQuantum method instead.

This method should return a Struct whose attributes share the same name as the connection fields describing output dataset types.

Returns:	struct : `Struct` Struct with attribute names corresponding to output connection fields

Examples

Typical implementation of this method may look like:

def run(self, input, calib):
    # "input", "calib", and "output" are the names of the config
    # fields

    # Assuming that input/calib datasets are `scalar` they are
    # simple objects, do something with inputs and calibs, produce
    # output image.
    image = self.makeImage(input, calib)

    # If output dataset is `scalar` then return object, not list
    return Struct(output=image)

runDataRef(dataRefs)¶

Jointly calibrate the astrometry and photometry across a set of images.

NOTE: this is for gen2 middleware only.

Parameters:	dataRefs : `list` of `lsst.daf.persistence.ButlerDataRef` List of data references to the exposures to be fit.
Returns:	result : `lsst.pipe.base.Struct` Struct of metadata from the fit, containing: `dataRefs` The provided data references that were fit (with updated WCSs) `oldWcsList` The original WCS from each dataRef `metrics` Dictionary of internally-computed metrics for testing/validation.

runQuantum(butlerQC, inputRefs, outputRefs)¶

Method to do butler IO and or transforms to provide in memory objects for tasks run method

Parameters:

butlerQC : ButlerQuantumContext: A butler which is specialized to operate in the context of a lsst.daf.butler.Quantum.
inputRefs : InputQuantizedConnection: 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 input/prerequisite connections.
outputRefs : OutputQuantizedConnection: 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.

timer(name, logLevel=10)¶

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 `logging` level constant.
