Goals
- Develop a tool to construct Camera objects from collections of fits files (or MEFs).
Background and strategic fit
The camera team would like to use the DM stack to analyze their test data. They can do this using obs_file, or by defining Camera objects by hand, but it would be much nicer to have a tool to create the appropriate Camera object from the data directly.
Requirements
| # | Title | User Story | Importance | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Support both amp per file and sensor per file with amps in extensions | The data are currently in MEFs, one per sensor. This could change so should be flexible. | Must have | |
| 2 | Should use a minimum of external ancillary information. | The goal will be to create the Camera only using information in the FITS headers. | Must have |
|
User interaction and design
The current design of the image format from the camera team is here: https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/LSSTCAM/Draft+File+Specification+for+EO+Test+Images
Also see the notes from an Oct 8 meeting
This could be informed by the DM effort to implement this tool.
