Blending ToolKit
Project description
BlendingToolKit
Summary
Framework for fast generation and analysis of galaxy blends catalogs. This toolkit is a convenient way of producing multi-band postage stamp images of blend scenes and evaluate the performance of deblending algorithms.
Documentation can be found at https://lsstdesc.org/BlendingToolKit/index.html.
Workflow
In red are components of the BTK pipeline that are intended to be easily customized by users to meet their science needs.
Code example
In what follows we illustrate how to use BTK to generate blended images, run a deblender on them, and
evaluate the performance of the deblender using metrics. For more details on this example see our
quick-start notebook at notebooks/00-quickstart.ipynb
.
import btk
# setup CATSIM catalog
catalog_name = "../data/input_catalog.fits"
catalog = btk.catalog.CatsimCatalog.from_file(catalog_name)
# setup survey parameters
survey = btk.survey.get_surveys("LSST")
# setup sampling function
# this function determines how to organize galaxies in catalog into blends
stamp_size = 24.0
sampling_function = btk.sampling_functions.DefaultSampling(
catalog=catalog, max_number=5, max_mag=25.3, stamp_size=stamp_size
)
# setup generator to create batches of blends
batch_size = 100
draw_generator = btk.draw_blends.CatsimGenerator(
catalog, sampling_function, survey, batch_size
)
# get batch of blends
blend_batch = next(draw_generator)
# setup deblender (we use SEP in this case)
deblender = btk.deblend.SepSingleBand(max_n_sources=5,
use_band=2 # measure on 'r' band
)
# run deblender on generated blend images (all batches)
deblend_batch = deblender(blend_batch)
# setup matcher
matcher = btk.match.PixelHungarianMatcher(pixel_max_sep=5.0 # maximum separation in pixels for matching
)
# match true and predicted catalogs
truth_catalogs = blend_batch.catalog_list
pred_catalogs = deblend_batch.catalog_list
matching = matcher(truth_catalogs, pred_catalogs) # object with matching information
# compute detection performance on this batch
recall = btk.metrics.detection.Recall(batch_size)
precision = btk.metrics.detection.Precision(batch_size)
print("Recall: ", recall(matching.tp, matching.t, matching.p))
print("Precision: ", precision(matching.tp, matching.t, matching.p))
