3.1.3 linearmosaic - Tool

combining images in a weighted fashion
Requires:

Synopsis

Description

The linearmosaic tool (lm) provides a toolkit for stitching images in a weighted fashion.

The default linear mosaic equation is defined by Equation (6) in Cornwell, Holdaway et al (Astronomy and Astrophysics, Vol. 271, p. 697 (1993)).

∑ lm --p-Ap(θ)(Ip(θ)Ap(θ))wp I (θ) = ∑p A2p(θ)wp

(3.1)

where A_p(θ) is the primary beam (PB) of a given pointing p, w_p is a sensitivity weight and the image of that pointing is I_p(θ); the linear mosaic being I^lm(θ)

Methods

??	Construct a linearmosaic tool
??	Set the output direction image parameters and name
??	Use this function to mosaic on an existing image and weight image
??	Use this function to create a Sault-weighted image
??	Use this function to set if you want to mosaic in flatnoise domain
??	mosaic images in a weighted fashion onto ouput image
