NAME

       visir_img_reduce  -  Combines a stack of chopped, jittered and/or nodded exposures and can
       compute the sensitivity for standard star observations

SYNOPSIS

       esorex visir_img_reduce [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This recipe recombines the data observed in chopping/nodding or chopping or nodding  modes
       into one combined image using optionally cross-correlation methods.

       The    files    listed    in    the   Set   Of   Frames   (sof-file)   must   be   tagged:
       VISIR-observation-file.fits     IM_OBS_CHO_NOD_JIT     or      VISIR-observation-file.fits
       IM_OBS_CHO_JIT        or        VISIR-observation-file.fits        IM_OBS_NOD_JIT       or
       VISIR-observation-file.fits   IM_OBS_DIR_JIT    or    VISIR-observation-file.fits    BURST
       VISIR-Standard-star-catalog     IMG_STD_CATALOG    (optional)    VISIR-linearty-table.fits
       LINEARITY_TABLE (optional) Additionally, a bad pixel map with a PRO.CATG of IMG_BPM may be
       added to the Set Of Frames with tag: BPM.

OPTIONS

       --planestart <long>
              Plane  number to start repacking from in each nod cycle,earlier planes are skipped.
              (long; default: 0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration  file
              is visir.visir_util_repack.planestart [default = 0].

       --planelimit <long>
              Limit number of processed inputplanes. It will repack until at least this number of
              input images have been processed or the full dataset has been repacked. Always full
              chop  cycles  need  to  be  repacked  so  the number is adjusted upward to the next
              multiple of images per chop cycle.  <= 0 for no limit.  (long;  default:  -1).  The
