5.6.10    Mosaic Modules: Mosaic Projection

Command Line Equivalent: run_mosaic_proj

Default Output Directory: <output_dir>/DualOutlier-mosaic

Depends On: Fiducial Image Frame; Detect

 

PURPOSE

This module works together with three other modules, Detect, Mosaic Dual Outlier and Level, to perform Dual Outlier rejection using both temporal and spatial filtering methods (see §8.2.3). The detection maps produced by the Detect module are in the original pixel frame. This module will project the detection maps on to a common reference frame using the Fiducial Image Frame table, FIF.tbl.

 

INPUT

This module does not have any user input parameters.

 

COMMAND LINE INPUT

Despite not having any input parameters, the following parameter block must be included in the namelist:

&MOSAICPROJIN

&END

 

OUTPUT

Interp Detection Map Table (interp_detmap_ImageList.txt): a list of the projected detection maps, their sizes, and their offsets in the x- and y-directions with respect to the FIF.

 

Interp Detection Map Images (proj_*detmap.fits): The FITS stack of projected, distortion-corrected, and interpolated detection maps.

 

The output files from this module are written to the DualOutlier-mosaic/ directory.

 

DISCUSSION

The module projects the Dual Outlier detection maps onto the common reference frame of the FIF. It uses the same image interpolation concepts utilized by the Mosaic Interpolate module (see §8.4 and §5.6.8).
