ObjectMasker

This module is only used if a star catalogue is used via the command line option –cc. The catalogue is expected to be a comma separated CSV file with the following header and columns:

`objID, ra, dec, psfMag_r, type`

Where ObjId is the object ID, RA is the right ascension, DEC is the Declination, psfMAG_r is the PSF magnitude for the r band, and type is the object type from {STAR, GALAXY, COSMICRAY, UNKNOWN}.

The function simply reads in the star catalogue and checks for which object to match with. By default this is only STAR, however the other types can be enabled. The function then converts RA DEC pairs to pixel coordinates and uses these to check if the object is in the image. If the object is in the image it then checks to see if occludes the segmentation map.

pawlikMorphLSST.objectMasker.objectOccluded(mask: numpy.ndarray, radec: Tuple[float, float], catalogue: str, header, galaxy=False, cosmicray=False, unknown=False) → Tuple[bool, List[float]]

Function gets list of objects near the object of interest, and determines if that objects light occludeds the object of interest light.

Parameters

  • mask (np.ndarray) – Object mask

  • radec (Tuple[float, float]) – Tuple of ra, dec

  • catalogue (str) – Name of object catalogue to check against Expected format is objID: float, ra: float, dec: float, type: str

  • header – fits image header

  • galaxy (bool, optional) – Option to include galaxy objects

  • cosmicray (bool, optional) – Option to include cosmic rays

  • unknown (bool, optional) – Option to include unknown objects

Returns

Returns true alongside list of objects that occlude object mask. Otherwise returns false and an empty list

Return type

Tuple[bool, List[float]]
