canMultiprocess: ClassVar[bool] = True

Methods Documentation

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”.

getName() str

Get the name of the task.

Returns:
taskNamestr

Name of the task.

getFullName

Get the full name of the task.

getTaskDict() dict[str, weakref.ReferenceType[lsst.pipe.base.task.Task]]

Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.

Returns:
taskDictdict

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

classmethod makeField(doc: str) ConfigurableField

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

Parameters:
docstr

Help text for the field.

Returns:
configurableFieldlsst.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: str, **keyArgs: Any) None

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

Parameters:
namestr

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.

measureScales(bgMatrix, bgCounts=None, iterations=10)

Convert backgrounds to exposure and detector components.

Parameters:
bgMatrixnp.ndarray, (nDetectors, nExposures)

Input backgrounds indexed by exposure (axis=0) and detector (axis=1).

bgCountsnp.ndarray, (nDetectors, nExposures), optional

Input pixel counts used to in measuring bgMatrix, indexed identically.

iterationsint, optional

Number of iterations to use in decomposition.

Returns:
scaleResultlsst.pipe.base.Struct

Result struct containing fields:

vectorE

Output E vector of exposure level scalings (np.array, (nExposures)).

vectorG

Output G vector of detector level scalings (np.array, (nExposures)).

bgModel

Expected model bgMatrix values, calculated from E and G (np.ndarray, (nDetectors, nExposures)).

Notes

The set of background measurements B[exposure, detector] of flat frame data should be defined by a “Cartesian” product of two vectors, E[exposure] and G[detector]. The E vector represents the total flux incident on the focal plane. In a perfect camera, this is simply the sum along the columns of B (np.sum(B, axis=0)).

However, this simple model ignores differences in detector gains, the vignetting of the detectors, and the illumination pattern of the source lamp. The G vector describes these detector dependent differences, which should be identical over different exposures. For a perfect lamp of unit total intensity, this is simply the sum along the rows of B (np.sum(B, axis=1)). This algorithm divides G by the total flux level, to provide the relative (not absolute) scales between detectors.

The algorithm here, from pipe_drivers/constructCalibs.py and from there from Eugene Magnier/PanSTARRS [1], attempts to iteratively solve this decomposition from initial “perfect” E and G vectors. The operation is performed in log space to reduce the multiply and divides to linear additions and subtractions.
