    Parameters
    ----------
    args :
        Arguments to be passed to lsst.ip.diffim.PsfMatchTask.__init__
    kwargs :
        Keyword arguments to be passed to lsst.ip.diffim.PsfMatchTask.__init__

    Notes
    -----
    Upon initialization, the kernel configuration is defined by self.config.kernel.active.
    The task creates an lsst.afw.math.Warper from the subConfig self.config.kernel.active.warpingConfig.
    A schema for the selection and measurement of candidate lsst.ip.diffim.KernelCandidates is
    defined, and used to initize subTasks selectDetection (for candidate detection) and selectMeasurement
    (for candidate measurement).

    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.

    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
    `~lsst.ip.diffim.imagePsfMatch.ImagePsfMatchTask.matchMaskedImages`,
    `~lsst.ip.diffim.imagePsfMatch.ImagePsfMatchTask.subtractMaskedImages`,
    `~lsst.ip.diffim.imagePsfMatch.ImagePsfMatchTask.matchExposures`, and
    `~lsst.ip.diffim.imagePsfMatch.ImagePsfMatchTask.subtractExposures`.

    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.

    Debug variables

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

    .. code-block:: py

        import sys
        import lsstDebug
        def DebugInfo(name):
            di = lsstDebug.getInfo(name)
            if name == "lsst.ip.diffim.psfMatch":
                di.display = True                 # enable debug output
                di.maskTransparency = 80          # display mask transparency

                di.display = False                # enable debug output
                di.maskTransparency = 30          # display mask transparency
                di.displayExposure = True         # show exposure with candidates indicated
                di.pauseAtEnd = False             # pause when done
            return di
        lsstDebug.Info = DebugInfo
        lsstDebug.frame = 1

    Note that if you want addional logging info, you may add to your scripts:

    .. code-block:: py

        import lsst.log.utils as logUtils
        logUtils.traceSetAt("ip.diffim", 4)

    Examples
    --------
    A complete example of using ImagePsfMatchTask

    This code is imagePsfMatchTask.py in the examples directory, and can be run as e.g.

    .. code-block:: none

        examples/imagePsfMatchTask.py --debug
        examples/imagePsfMatchTask.py --debug --mode="matchExposures"
        examples/imagePsfMatchTask.py --debug --template /path/to/templateExp.fits
        --science /path/to/scienceExp.fits

    Create a subclass of ImagePsfMatchTask that allows us to either match exposures, or subtract exposures:

    .. code-block:: none

        class MyImagePsfMatchTask(ImagePsfMatchTask):

            def __init__(self, args, kwargs):
                ImagePsfMatchTask.__init__(self, args, kwargs)

            def run(self, templateExp, scienceExp, mode):
                if mode == "matchExposures":
                    return self.matchExposures(templateExp, scienceExp)
                elif mode == "subtractExposures":
                    return self.subtractExposures(templateExp, scienceExp)

    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.

    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:

    .. code-block:: py

        if args.debug:
            try:
                import debug
                # Since I am displaying 2 images here, set the starting frame number for the LSST debug LSST
                debug.lsstDebug.frame = 3
            except ImportError as e:
                print(e, file=sys.stderr)

    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:

    .. code-block:: py

        def run(args):
        #
        # Create the Config and use sum of gaussian basis
        #
        config = ImagePsfMatchTask.ConfigClass()
        config.kernel.name = "AL"
        config.kernel.active.fitForBackground = True
        config.kernel.active.spatialKernelOrder = 1
        config.kernel.active.spatialBgOrder = 0

    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):

    .. code-block:: py

        # Run the requested method of the Task
        if args.template is not None and args.science is not None:
            if not os.path.isfile(args.template):
                raise Exception("Template image %s does not exist" % (args.template))
            if not os.path.isfile(args.science):
                raise Exception("Science image %s does not exist" % (args.science))
            try:
                templateExp = afwImage.ExposureF(args.template)
            except Exception as e:
                raise Exception("Cannot read template image %s" % (args.template))
            try:
                scienceExp = afwImage.ExposureF(args.science)
            except Exception as e:
                raise Exception("Cannot read science image %s" % (args.science))
        else:
            templateExp, scienceExp = generateFakeImages()
            config.kernel.active.sizeCellX = 128
            config.kernel.active.sizeCellY = 128

    Create and run the Task:

    .. code-block:: py

        # Create the Task
        psfMatchTask = MyImagePsfMatchTask(config=config)
        # Run the Task
        result = psfMatchTask.run(templateExp, scienceExp, args.mode)

    And finally provide some optional debugging displays:

    .. code-block:: py

        if args.debug:
        # See if the LSST debug has incremented the frame number; if not start with frame 3
        try:
            frame = debug.lsstDebug.frame + 1
        except Exception:
