NAME

       visir_util_convert_weight - Conversion between different weight maps

SYNOPSIS

       esorex visir_util_convert_weight [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       The  files  listed  in  the Set Of Frames (sof-file) must be tagged: VISIR-weight-map.fits
       WEIGHT_MAP  or  VISIR-error-map.fits  ERROR_MAP  or  VISIR-variance-map.fits  VARIANCE_MAP
       VISIR-bpm-file.fits BPM (optional)

       The relation between an error e, a weight w and a variance v is: e = sqrt(v) = 1/sqrt(w).

       Depending  on  the setting of the boolean recipe parameters each input file will cause the
       following product(s) to be created (each with a FITS card ´HIERARCH ESO PRO CATG´ with the
       specified  value)  ERROR_MAP:  An  error  map,  requires input v >= 0, w > 0 WEIGHT_MAP: A
       weight map, requires input e > 0, v > 0 VARIANCE_MAP: A variance map, requires input e  >=
       0,  w  >  0  If  for a given input the identical output is specified, the data unit(s) may
       still change according to the provided bad pixel map In a weight map product any bad pixel
       is set to 0.

       In  a  variance  or  error  map product any bad pixel is set to the value specified by the
       relevant recipe option.

OPTIONS

       --error <bool>
              Convert to error (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
              configuration file is visir.visir_util_convert_weight.error [default = True].

       --weight <bool>
              Convert  to  weight. Bad pixels are seto to 0 (bool; default: False). The full name
              of     this     option     for     the     EsoRex     configuration     file     is
              visir.visir_util_convert_weight.weight [default = False].

       --variance <bool>
              Convert to variance. Bad pixels are seto to 0 (bool; default: False). The full name
              of     this     option     for     the     EsoRex     configuration     file     is
              visir.visir_util_convert_weight.variance [default = False].

       --bad_value <float>
              The  value  to  use  for any bad pixel in an error or variance map (float; default:
              3.4028234663852886e+38). The full name of this option for the EsoRex  configuration
              file       is       visir.visir_util_convert_weight.bad_value       [default      =
              3.4028234663852886e+38].

       --bad_flag <bool>
              The value used to flag a bad pixel in an input bad pixel map. True: 1.   False:  0.
              (bool;  default:  True).  The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
              file is visir.visir_util_convert_weight.bad_flag [default = True].

       Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing  these  options,  along
       with  suitable default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help'
       command.
