Abstract

This document proposes a specification for what the content of an image metadata database should be, how it should be managed, how it could be implemented, and how it might be extended. A phased strategy for bringing it to production is also proposed.

DMTN-021: Implementation of Image Difference Decorrelation

Dataset Reiss, David J. ; Lupton, Robert H.

Herein, we describe a method for decorrelating image differences produced by the Alard and Lupton (1998) method of PSF matching. Inspired by the recent work of Zackay et al. (2016) and the prior work of Kaiser [2004], this proposed method uses a single post-subtraction convolution of an image difference to remove the neighboring pixel covariances in the image difference that result from the convolution of the template image by the PSF matching kernel. We describe the method in detail, analyze its effects on image differences (both real and simulated) as well as on detections and photometry of detected sources inmore »« less
DMTN-197: Streak Masking in DM Image Processing

Dataset Saunders, Clare

Streaks caused by satellites are a persistent problem in optical images, and their occurrence will likely increase in the coming years. Many Hyper Suprime-Cam images are already affected by streaks, and the same is expected for Rubin Observatory data. In the LSST Data Release Production (DRP), most streaks and other artifacts are already detected and masked by the algorithm CompareWarpAssembleCoadd. However, some streaks are not caught at this stage and can contaminate the final coadds and detection catalogs. To find and mask these, we adopt a morphologically-based method for detecting streaks, which uses the Kernel-Based Hough Transform to detect straightmore »« less
DMTN-015: Flavors of Coadds

A glossary of different kinds of coadded images, with brief descriptions of the algorithms behind them.
DMTN-118: Review of Timeseries Features

Dataset Bellm, Eric C.

Rubin Observatory will compute timeseries variability features on lightcurves to aid users in identifying objects of interest, both during realtime Alert Production as well as in the annual Data Releases. The Data Products Definition Document (DPDD; LSE-163) allocates space for pre-computed timeseries features, and a sample set is baselined in LDM-151. However, in the subsequent decade the scientfic community has made a great deal of further progress in this area. This technote reviews the relevant literature, grouping related features where possible; discusses potential concerns and open questions; and proposes a new baseline feature set.
DMTN-219: Proposal and Prototype for Prompt Processing

Dataset Lim, Kian-Tat

The Prompt Processing framework has long been a gray area in the overall Rubin Observatory architecture. This document attempts to fill that hole by proposing a concrete design with an accompanying prototype implementation that should meet minimum requirements. Additional features and optimizations that could be incorporated later are also described.
