Detailed Description

A 2-dimensional celestial WCS that transform pixels to ICRS RA/Dec, using the LSST standard for pixels.

SkyWcs is an immutable object that can not only represent any standard FITS WCS, but can also contain arbitrary Transforms, e.g. to model optical distortion or pixel imperfections.

In order to make a SkyWcs that models optical distortion, say, it is usually simplest to start with a standard FITS WCS (such as a TAN WCS) as an approximation, then insert a transform that models optical distortion by calling makeModifiedWcs. However, it is also possible to build a SkyWcs entirely from transforms, if you prefer, by building an ast::FrameDict and constructing the SkyWcs from that.

Frames of reference

SkyWcs internally keeps track of the following frames of reference:

• cameraGeom::ACTUAL_PIXELS (optional): "actual" pixel position using the LSST standard. This has the same meaning as the cameraGeom::ACTUAL_PIXELS frame: actual pixels include effects such as "tree ring" distortions and electrical effects at the edge of CCDs. This frame should only be provided if there is a reasonable model for these imperfections.
• cameraGeom::PIXELS: nominal pixel position, using the LSST standard. This has the same meaning as the cameraGeom::PIXELS frame: nominal pixels may be rectangular, but are uniform in size and spacing.
• IWC: intermediate world coordinates (the FITS WCS concept).
• SKY: position on the sky as ICRS, with standard RA, Dec axis order.

Pixel position standards

The LSST standard for pixel position is: 0,0 is the center of the lower left image pixel. The FITS standard for pixel position is: 1,1 is the center of the lower left image pixel.

LSST and FITS also use a different origin for subimages:

• LSST pixel position is in the frame of reference of the parent image
• FITS pixel position is in the frame of reference of the subimage However, SkyWcs does not keep track of this difference. Code that persists and unpersists SkyWcs using FITS-WCS header cards must handle the offset, e.g. by calling copyAtShiftedPixelOrigin

Internal details: the contained ast::FrameDict

SkyWcs contains an ast::FrameDict which transforms from pixels to sky (in radians) in the forward direction.

This FrameDict contains the named frames described in frames of reference, e.g. "SKY", "IWC", cameraGeom::PIXELS and possibly cameraGeom::ACTUAL_PIXELS. "SKY" is the current frame. If cameraGeom::ACTUAL_PIXELS is present then it is the base frame, otherwise cameraGeom::PIXELS is the base frame.

The "SKY" frame is of type ast::SkyFrame and has the following attributes:

• SkyRef is set to the sky origin of the WCS (ICRS RA, Dec) in radians.
• SkyRefIs is set to "Ignored" so that SkyRef is not used in transformations.

The other frames are of type ast::Frame and have 2 axes.

Parameters

[in]

precise

Fail if the WCS cannot be accurately represented as FITS metadata? If False then return an approximation. For now that approximation is pure TAN but as of DM-13170 it will be a fit TAN-SIP. The required precision is set by constant TIGHT_FITS_TOL in SkyWcs.cc

Equality is based on the string representations being equal.

Two SkyWcs constructed the same way will be equal, and a SkyWcs that has been saved and restored will be equal to the original. However, it is possible to construct two SkyWcs that behave identically as far as transforming points go, but will compare as unequal due to subtle internal differences, such as a contained ast::Mapping that has a different ID in one SkyWcs than another.

Thus equality is primarily useful for testing persistence.

singleClassEquals()

template<class T >

static bool lsst::afw::typehandling::Storable::singleClassEquals ( T const & lhs, Storable const & rhs )

inlinestaticprotectedinherited

Test if a Storable is of a particular class and equal to another object.

This method template simplifies implementations of equals that delegate to operator== without supporting cross-class comparisons.

Template Parameters

T	The class expected of the two objects to be compared.

Parameters

lhs,rhs

The objects to compare. Note that rhs need not be a T, while lhs must be.

Returns

true if rhs is a T and lhs == rhs; false otherwise.

Exception Safety

Provides the same level of exception safety as operator==. Most implementations of operator== do not throw.

Note

This method template calls operator== with both arguments of compile-time type T const&. Its use is not recommended if there would be any ambiguity as to which operator== gets picked by overload resolution.

This method template is typically called from equals as:

bool MyType::equals(Storable const& other) const noexcept {
    return singleClassEquals(*this, other);
}
