ficalib - performing various calibration steps on the input
images
ficalib [options] [-i|--input <inputs>]
[-o|--output <outputs>]
The purpose of this program is to do various calibration steps on
the input images, including mosaic frame joining, generic overscan
corrections, bias and (exp. time scaled) dark subtraction and flat field
corrections.
- -h, --help
- Gives general summary about the command line options.
- --long-help,
--help-long
- Gives a detailed list of command line options.
- --wiki-help,
--help-wiki, --mediawiki-help,
--help-mediawiki
- Gives a detailed list of command line options in Mediawiki format.
- --version,
--version-short, --short-version
- Gives some version information about the program.
- -i, --input
<inputs>
- List of input images (up to the next option).
- -o, --output
<outputs>
- List of output images (up to the next option).
- -r,
--rewrite-output-name '[<from>|]<to>'
- Rewrite the output file names according to the rule specified by the
argument of this switch. The <to> part must contain a single asterix
(*) that is replaced by the original file name or, if the <from>
part is specified and it can be matched by the filename, the appropriate
part of the filename is written to the output filename. For instance,
'*.fits|*.calib.fits' will replace the `fits` extension to `calib.fits` if
the original filename has a fits extension, otherwise, concatenates the
`calib.fits` as an extension to the filename. Note that the <from>
and <to> part must be separated by a vertical bar (the character
used in UNIX shells for creating pipes), therefore either this character
must be escaped or put into quotation marks (according to the current
shell). If the -o|--output list of filenames are not, but this
argument is specified, the list of original output files will be the same
as the list of input filenames.
- --overscan
<overscan>
- Specifications for overscan corrections (see also "Overscan
correction parameters" below).
- --mosaic
size=(<sx>,<sy>),(<mosaic section 1>),...
- Mosaic image topology specfications (see also "Mosaic specification
parameters" below).
- -M, --input-mask
<fits>
- Input mask file to co-add to output image.
- -B,
--input-master-bias <bias>
- Master bias image (if any).
- -D,
--input-master-dark <dark>
- Master dark image (if any).
- -F,
--input-master-flat <flat>
- Master flat field image (if any).
- -s, --saturation
<level>
- Saturation level.
- --leak-left-right,
--leak-lower-upper, --leak-any
- Pixel/readout "blooming" direction.
- -g, --gain
<gain>
- Nominal gain value.
- --gain-order
<order>
- Spatial polynomial order to describe gain variations.
- --exptime-correction
- Do exposure time correction during dark subtraction.
- --no-exptime-correction
- Don't do any exposure time correction for darks.
- --no-clobber
- Don't overwrite existing calibrated images.
