NAME sci_img_qc.prg
VERSION 1.0 -- adapted for FORS2 (PS, 05/2002)
SYNTAX MIDAS
CALL measureQuality
from $DFS_PRODUCT/SCI_IMG/$DATE:

INSTRUMENT FORS2
RAWTYPE SCI_IMG
PURPOSE compares raw and product SCI_IMG files for FORS2 QC assessment; the plots are later reviewed within certifyProducts. The first plot (sci_img_grap1.png) is stored as Postscript file in $DFO_PLT_DIR.
PROCINPUT raw image from AB; SCIENCE_REDUCED_IMG product;

QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written into QC1 table:
QC1db names: iq | iq_rms | avg_ellipt | ellipt_rms | num_stars_rms | num_stars_iq
QC1 params created by pipeline: none
QC1 params created by this procedure: all are determined by SExtractor, which is called via the script imagequality_dfos
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
iq: average FWHM in arcsec as determined by SExtractor
iq_rms: rms of FWHM in arcsec
avg_ellipt: average ellipticity as determined by SExtractor
ellipt_rms: rms of ellipticity
num_stars_rms: number of stars for rms (only from core of distribution)
num_stars_iq: number of stars for iq and ellipticity, i.e. only stars with ellipticity <= 0.5, stellarity index >= 0.5 and flag 0
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
- unusual structure;
COMMENTS Elliptical shapes may be due to guiding errors or to moving targets (check OB name).
