\section ip_diffim_imagepsfmatch_Purpose   Description

Build a Psf-matching kernel using two input images, either as MaskedImages (in which case they need
    to be astrometrically aligned) or Exposures (in which case astrometric alignment will happen by
    default but may be turned off).  This requires a list of input Sources which may be provided
by the calling Task; if not, the Task will perform a coarse source detection and selection for this purpose.
Sources are vetted for signal-to-noise and masked pixels (in both the template and science image), and
substamps around each acceptable source are extracted and used to create an instance of KernelCandidate.
Each KernelCandidate is then placed within a lsst.afw.math.SpatialCellSet, which is used by an ensemble of
lsst.afw.math.CandidateVisitor instances to build the Psf-matching kernel.   These visitors include, in
the order that they are called: BuildSingleKernelVisitor, KernelSumVisitor, BuildSpatialKernelVisitor,
and AssessSpatialKernelVisitor.

Sigma clipping of KernelCandidates is performed as follows:
 - BuildSingleKernelVisitor, using the substamp diffim residuals from the per-source kernel fit,
    if PsfMatchConfig.singleKernelClipping is True
 - KernelSumVisitor, using the mean and standard deviation of the kernel sum from all candidates,
    if PsfMatchConfig.kernelSumClipping is True
 - AssessSpatialKernelVisitor, using the substamp diffim ressiduals from the spatial kernel fit,
    if PsfMatchConfig.spatialKernelClipping is True

The actual solving for the kernel (and differential background model) happens in
lsst.ip.diffim.PsfMatchTask._solve.  This involves a loop over the SpatialCellSet that first builds the
per-candidate matching kernel for the requested number of KernelCandidates per cell
(PsfMatchConfig.nStarPerCell).  The quality of this initial per-candidate difference image is examined,
using moments of the pixel residuals in the difference image normalized by the square root of the variance
(i.e. sigma); ideally this should follow a normal (0, 1) distribution, but the rejection thresholds are set
by the config (PsfMatchConfig.candidateResidualMeanMax and PsfMatchConfig.candidateResidualStdMax).
All candidates that pass this initial build are then examined en masse to find the
mean/stdev of the kernel sums across all candidates.  Objects that are significantly above or below the mean,
typically due to variability or sources that are saturated in one image but not the other, are also rejected.
This threshold is defined by PsfMatchConfig.maxKsumSigma.  Finally, a spatial model is built using all
currently-acceptable candidates, and the spatial model used to derive a second set of (spatial) residuals
which are again used to reject bad candidates, using the same thresholds as above.

\section ip_diffim_imagepsfmatch_IO        Invoking the Task

There is no run() method for this Task.  Instead there are 4 methods that
may be used to invoke the Psf-matching.  These are
\link lsst.ip.diffim.imagePsfMatch.ImagePsfMatchTask.matchMaskedImages matchMaskedImages\endlink,
\link lsst.ip.diffim.imagePsfMatch.ImagePsfMatchTask.subtractMaskedImages subtractMaskedImages\endlink,
\link lsst.ip.diffim.imagePsfMatch.ImagePsfMatchTask.matchExposures matchExposures\endlink, and
\link lsst.ip.diffim.imagePsfMatch.ImagePsfMatchTask.subtractExposures subtractExposures\endlink.

The methods that operate on lsst.afw.image.MaskedImage require that the images already be astrometrically
aligned, and are the same shape.  The methods that operate on lsst.afw.image.Exposure allow for the
input images to be misregistered and potentially be different sizes; by default a
lsst.afw.math.LanczosWarpingKernel is used to perform the astrometric alignment.  The methods
that "match" images return a Psf-matched image, while the methods that "subtract" images
return a Psf-matched and template subtracted image.

See each method's returned lsst.pipe.base.Struct for more details.

\section ip_diffim_imagepsfmatch_Debug     Debug variables

The \link lsst.pipe.base.cmdLineTask.CmdLineTask command line task\endlink interface supports a
flag \c -d/--debug to import \b debug.py from your \c PYTHONPATH.  The relevant contents of debug.py
for this Task include:

        di = lsstDebug.getInfo(name)

\endcode

Note that if you want addional logging info, you may add to your scripts:
\code{.py}
import lsst.pex.logging as pexLog
pexLog.Trace_setVerbosity('lsst.ip.diffim', 5)
\endcode

\section ip_diffim_imagepsfmatch_Example   A complete example of using ImagePsfMatchTask

This code is imagePsfMatchTask.py in the examples directory, and can be run as \em e.g.
\code
examples/imagePsfMatchTask.py --debug
examples/imagePsfMatchTask.py --debug --mode="matchExposures"
examples/imagePsfMatchTask.py --debug --template /path/to/templateExp.fits --science /path/to/scienceExp.fits
\endcode

\dontinclude imagePsfMatchTask.py
Create a subclass of ImagePsfMatchTask that allows us to either match exposures, or subtract exposures:
\skip MyImagePsfMatchTask
\until self.subtractExposures

And allow the user the freedom to either run the script in default mode, or point to their own images on disk.
Note that these images must be readable as an lsst.afw.image.Exposure:
\skip main
\until parse_args

We have enabled some minor display debugging in this script via the --debug option.  However, if you
have an lsstDebug debug.py in your PYTHONPATH you will get additional debugging displays.  The following
block checks for this script:
\skip args.debug
\until sys.stderr

\dontinclude imagePsfMatchTask.py
Finally, we call a run method that we define below.  First set up a Config and modify some of the parameters.
E.g. use an "Alard-Lupton" sum-of-Gaussian basis, fit for a differential background, and use low order spatial
variation in the kernel and background:
\skip run(args)
\until spatialBgOrder

Make sure the images (if any) that were sent to the script exist on disk and are readable.  If no images
are sent, make some fake data up for the sake of this example script (have a look at the code if you want
more details on generateFakeImages):
\skip requested
\until sizeCellY

Create and run the Task:
\skip Create
\until args.mode

And finally provide some optional debugging displays:
\skip args.debug
\until result.subtractedExposure
