Detailed Description

Task to propagate flags from single-frame measurements to coadd measurements.

Propagate flags from individual visit measurements to coadd measurements

Contents

Description

We want to be able to set a flag for sources on the coadds using flags that were determined from the individual visits. A common example is sources that were used for PSF determination, since we do not do any PSF determination on the coadd but use the individual visits. This requires matching the coadd source catalog to each of the catalogs from the inputs (see PropagateVisitFlagsConfig.matchRadius), and thresholding on the number of times a source is flagged on the input catalog.

An important consideration in this is that the flagging of sources in the individual visits can be somewhat stochastic, e.g., the same stars may not always be used for PSF determination because the field of view moves slightly between visits, or the seeing changed. We there threshold on the relative occurrence of the flag in the visits (see PropagateVisitFlagsConfig.flags). Flagging a source that is always flagged in inputs corresponds to a threshold of 1, while flagging a source that is flagged in any of the input corresponds to a threshold of 0. But neither of these extrema are really useful in practise.

Setting the threshold too high means that sources that are not consistently flagged (e.g., due to chip gaps) will not have the flag propagated. Setting that threshold too low means that random sources which are falsely flagged in the inputs will start to dominate. If in doubt, we suggest making this threshold relatively low, but not zero (e.g., 0.1 to 0.2 or so). The more confidence in the quality of the flagging, the lower the threshold can be.

The relative occurrence accounts for the edge of the field-of-view of the camera, but does not include chip gaps, bad or saturated pixels, etc.

Initialization

Beyond the usual Task initialization, PropagateVisitFlagsTask also requires a schema for the catalog that is being constructed.

Configuration parameters

See PropagateVisitFlagsConfig

Use

The 'run' method (described below) is the entry-point for operations. The 'getCcdInputs' staticmethod is provided as a convenience for retrieving the 'ccdInputs' (CCD inputs table) from an Exposure.

Propagate flags from individual visit measurements to coadd. This requires matching the coadd source catalog to each of the catalogs from the inputs, and thresholding on the number of times a source is flagged on the input catalog. The threshold is made on the relative occurrence of the flag in each source. Flagging a source that is always flagged in inputs corresponds to a threshold of 1, while flagging a source that is flagged in any of the input corresponds to a threshold of 0. But neither of these extrema are really useful in practise.

Setting the threshold too high means that sources that are not consistently flagged (e.g., due to chip gaps) will not have the flag propagated. Setting that threshold too low means that random sources which are falsely flagged in the inputs will start to dominate. If in doubt, we suggest making this threshold relatively low, but not zero (e.g., 0.1 to 0.2 or so). The more confidence in the quality of the flagging, the lower the threshold can be.

The relative occurrence accounts for the edge of the field-of-view of the camera, but does not include chip gaps, bad or saturated pixels, etc.

Parameters
[in]butlerData butler, for retrieving the input source catalogs
[in,out]coaddSourcesSource catalog from the coadd
[in]ccdInputsTable of CCDs that contribute to the coadd
[in]coaddWcsWcs for coadd
[in]visitCatalogsList of loaded source catalogs for each input ccd in the coadd. If provided this is used instead of this method loading in the catalogs itself
[in]wcsUpdatesoptional, If visitCatalogs is a list of ccd catalogs, this should be a list of updated wcs to apply

Example

# Requires:
# * butler: data butler, for retrieving the CCD catalogs
# * coaddCatalog: catalog of source measurements on the coadd (lsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog)
# * coaddExposure: coadd (lsst.afw.image.Exposure)
from lsst.pipe.tasks.propagateVisitFlags import PropagateVisitFlagsTask, PropagateVisitFlagsConfig
config = PropagateVisitFlagsConfig()
config.flags["calib_psf_used"] = 0.3 # Relative threshold for this flag
config.matchRadius = 0.5 # Matching radius in arcsec
task = PropagateVisitFlagsTask(coaddCatalog.schema, config=config)
ccdInputs = task.getCcdInputs(coaddExposure)
task.run(butler, coaddCatalog, ccdInputs, coaddExposure.getWcs())
