This module combines the co-added tiles into a mosaicked image. Even if the co-addition has been done in a single tile, this module must be run in order to produce the expected outputs.
INPUT
The choices of output products for this module are made in either the Mosaic CoAdder or Mosaic Settings module.
Mosaic Combiner output subdirectory: The subdirectory of <output_dir> that you wish to use for the output files. Default is Combine-mosaic.
COMMAND LINE INPUT
COMBINER_DIR = Combine-mosaic
OUTPUT
The output of this module will include a number of the following, depending on the output selected in Mosaic Settings and Mosaic CoAdder, and the outlier rejection scheme used.
Outlier Tile BCD File (Outlier-mosaic/tile_bcd.txt): This text file lists the outlier images that contribute to each output tile of the outlier mosaic. The format of the file is the tile ID, the number of contributing images, and the image index within the stack.
Outlier Tile Table (Outlier-mosaic/tiles.tbl): A table listing the outlier tiles, their sizes, and their offsets in the x- and y-directions with respect to the FIF.
Mosaic Outlier File (mosaic_outlier.fits): The combined, co-added mosaic of temporal outlier detections.
Dual Outlier Tile BCD File (DualOutlier-mosaic/tile_bcd.txt): This text file lists the dual outlier images that contribute to each output tile of the outlier mosaic. The format of the file is the tile ID, the number of contributing images, and the image index within the stack.
Dual Outlier Tile Table (DualOutlier-mosaic/tiles.tbl): A table listing the dual outlier tiles, their sizes, and their offsets in the x- and y-directions with respect to the FIF.
Mosaic Dual Outlier File (mosaic_dual_outlier.fits): The combined, co-added mosaic of dual outlier detections.
Median Tile BCD File (Coadd-mosaic/coadd_median_tile_bcd.txt): This text file lists the input images that contribute to each output tile of the median mosaic. The format of the file is the tile ID, the number of contributing images, and the image index within the stack.
Median Tile Table (Coadd-mosaic/coadd_median_tiles.tbl): A table listing the tiles of the median mosaic, their sizes, and their offsets in the x- and y-directions with respect to the FIF.
Mosaic Median File (median_mosaic.fits): The output median mosaic.
Mosaic Image File (mosaic.fits): The output mosaic FITS image. This output image will change depending on the mosaic type requested in the Mosaic Settings and Mosaic CoAdder modules. The default is described in §5.6.19.
Mosaic Uncertainty File (mosaic_unc.fits): The output uncertainty mosaic.
Mosaic Standard Deviation File (mosaic_std.fits): The output standard deviation mosaic.
Mosaic Coverage File (mosaic_cov.fits): The output coverage mosaic.
DISCUSSION
After the Mosaic CoAdder module produces individual tiles, this module stitches together all tiles into a big mosaic. Even if the co-addition was done in a single tile, this module must still be run in order to produce the expected outputs.
Not all of the output files above will be produced by Mosaic Combine. Many will only be produced if requested in either the Mosaic Settings or Mosaic CoAdder modules.
