Retargetable subtasks¶
applyApCorr¶
- Default
- lsst.meas.base.applyApCorr.ApplyApCorrTask
- Field type
- ConfigurableField
Subtask to apply aperture corrections
background¶
- Default
- lsst.meas.algorithms.subtractBackground.SubtractBackgroundTask
- Field type
- ConfigurableField
Configuration for initial background estimation
catalogCalculation¶
- Default
- lsst.meas.base.catalogCalculation.CatalogCalculationTask
- Field type
- ConfigurableField
Subtask to run catalogCalculation plugins on catalog
computeSummaryStats¶
- Default
- lsst.pipe.tasks.computeExposureSummaryStats.ComputeExposureSummaryStatsTask
- Field type
- ConfigurableField
Subtask to run computeSummaryStats on exposure Deprecated: This subtask has been moved to CalibrateTask with DM-30701.
deblend¶
- Default
- lsst.meas.deblender.sourceDeblendTask.SourceDeblendTask
- Field type
- ConfigurableField
Split blended source into their components
detection¶
- Default
- lsst.meas.algorithms.detection.SourceDetectionTask
- Field type
- ConfigurableField
Detect sources
installSimplePsf¶
- Default
- lsst.meas.algorithms.installGaussianPsf.InstallGaussianPsfTask
- Field type
- ConfigurableField
Install a simple PSF model
measureApCorr¶
- Default
- lsst.meas.algorithms.measureApCorr.MeasureApCorrTask
- Field type
- ConfigurableField
Subtask to measure aperture corrections
measurePsf¶
- Default
- lsst.pipe.tasks.measurePsf.MeasurePsfTask
- Field type
- ConfigurableField
Measure PSF
measurement¶
- Default
- lsst.meas.base.sfm.SingleFrameMeasurementTask
- Field type
- ConfigurableField
Measure sources
ref_match¶
- Default
- lsst.meas.astrom.ref_match.RefMatchTask
- Field type
- ConfigurableField
Task to load and match reference objects. Only used if measurePsf can use matches. Warning: matching will only work well if the initial WCS is accurate enough to give good matches (roughly: good to 3 arcsec across the CCD). Deprecated: This field was never usable. Will be removed after v24 (see DM-34768).
Configuration fields¶
checkUnitsParseStrict¶
Strictness of Astropy unit compatibility check, can be ‘raise’, ‘warn’ or ‘silent’
connections¶
- Data type
- lsst.pipe.base.config.Connections
- Field type
- ConfigField
Configurations describing the connections of the PipelineTask to datatypes
doComputeSummaryStats¶
Run subtask to measure exposure summary statistics Deprecated: This subtask has been moved to CalibrateTask with DM-30701.
doMeasurePsf¶
Measure PSF? If False then for all subsequent operations use either existing PSF model when present, or install simple PSF model when not (see installSimplePsf config options)
doWriteExposure¶
Write icExp and icExpBackground in addition to icSrc? Ignored if doWrite False.
psfIterations¶
- Default
- 2
- Field type
- int- RangeField
- Range
- [1,inf)
Number of iterations of detect sources, measure sources, estimate PSF. If useSimplePsf is True then 2 should be plenty; otherwise more may be wanted.
refObjLoader¶
- Data type
- lsst.meas.algorithms.loadReferenceObjects.LoadReferenceObjectsConfig
- Field type
- ConfigField
reference object loader Deprecated: This field does nothing. Will be removed after v24 (see DM-34768).
requireCrForPsf¶
Require cosmic ray detection and masking to run successfully before measuring the PSF.
saveLogOutput¶
Flag to enable/disable saving of log output for a task, enabled by default.
saveMetadata¶
Flag to enable/disable metadata saving for a task, enabled by default.
