Detailed Description

Provides an on-the-fly mask for FITS quality images.

Intended use:

Public interface

Prerequisite

Etymology

This class provides a pixel mask for the FITSQualityImage class.

Synopsis

Masked values are indicated in FITS images via magic value blanking. This class provides an on-the-fly mask. The doGetSlice function reads the data values and returns an Array<Bool> which is True (good) or False (bad - blanked)

Because FITSMask inherits from Lattice<Bool> it can be used as the private pixel mask data member for FITSQualityImage returned by the MaskedLattice::pixelMask() functions

The FITSQualityMask object is constructed from the FITSImage objects of the data and the error extension. These must be the same one that the FITSQUalityImage object constructs internally. They shared by both FITSImage and FITSMask.

Example

Motivation

FITSQualityImage provides access to FITS images with a data and and error extension. It needed an efficient way to handle the pixel mask other than iterating all the way through the image first to set a mask.
