wcsf_imgcat
Updated: Mar05,2020

Establish a catlog of image sources for each input image.


% wcsf_imgcat --help 

Usage: wcsf_imgcat list.0 Y 
arg1 - Name of file with list of FITS images (can be full path)
arg2 - run in debug mode (Y/N)

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This code will attempt to retieve a version of this image from the 
VISCAT subdirectory to use as input. If no such image is present, then 
a local version of the (fullpath) image is established and used.  The 
product images and catalogs are moved to a data archive subdirectory 
./local_red/IMGCAT0/

The process of how the catalog detections are gathered is quite involved. Details can be found in the discussion of imgcat0 and links therein. This is by no means a photometric catalog. The "0" at the end of routine name is meant to convey that many of the image parameters are based on simple zeroeth-order image moments. It is presumed that a catalog such as this is to be used as a starting point in locating source for deriving astrometric solutions.

Here is a typical set of files built with this routine. Note that as of Feb2020 I no longer create the basename.cdfp file. This is becasue I now run wcsf_imgcat via image_catalogs. This runs images in batch mode and hence the WCS headers are not available yet. For an image with basename of "20191027T013204.9_acm_sci" we get the files:


20191027T013204.9_acm_sci_BGboxes.reg  20191027T013204.9_acm_sci.fits	      20191027T013204.9_acm_sci.props
20191027T013204.9_acm_sci_bkg1.fits    20191027T013204.9_acm_sci_label0.fits  20191027T013204.9_acm_sci_sigma.fits
20191027T013204.9_acm_sci.cat0	       20191027T013204.9_acm_sci.params       20191027T013204.9_acm_sci.table
20191027T013204.9_acm_sci_detsig.fits  20191027T013204.9_acm_sci.parlab

I will eventually build the cdfp file with cdfp_from_imgcat0 using the table file.
