Primary User Interface: AstroDrizzle()
drizzlepac.astrodrizzle Module
AstroDrizzle - Python implementation of MultiDrizzle
AstroDrizzle automates the process of aligning images in an output frame,
identifying cosmic-rays, removing distortion, and then combining the images
after removing the identified cosmic-rays.
This process involves a number of steps, such as:
Processing the input images and input parameters
Creating a static mask
Performing sky subtraction
Drizzling onto separate output images
Creating the median image
Blotting the median image
Identifying and flagging cosmic-rays
Final combination
Cleaning up temporary files (when applicable)
A full description of this process can be found in the DrizzlePac Handbook.
The primary output from this task is the distortion-corrected, cosmic-ray cleaned, and combined image as a FITS file.
This task requires numerous user-settable parameters to control the primary aspects of each of the processing steps.
