QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written in QC1 database:
Mask to CCD transformation: x0 | y0 | xx | xy | yy | yx | focus_temp
Image quality: pinhole_count | image_quality_mean | image_quality_rms | ellipticity_mean | ellipticity_rms | orientation_mean | orientation_rms | iq_mean_cell[1-9] | iq_rms_cell[1-9] | ellip_mean_cell[1-9] | ellip_rms_cell[1-9] | orient_mean_cell[1-9] | orient_rms_cell[1-9]
All parameters are calculated by the pipeline recipe.
ALGORITHM The mask to CCD transformatiion is as follows:
X = a(xx)*x + a(xy)*y + x0
Y = a(yx)*x + a(yy)*y + y0
with x,y being mask coordinates in mm and X,Y CCD coordinates in pixels.
x0, y0: offsets in x and y direction
xx, yy: scale factors between mask and CCD coordinates
xy, yx: rotation coefficients
From the pinhole images, also QC parameters for checking the focus are calculated. These are image quality (as FWHM in pixels of the major axis fo the pinhole ellipses), ellipticity, and orientation (of the pinhole ellipses). Each quadrant is divided into 3x3 sub cells (squares). All parameters and their standard deviations are calculated in each cell and globally per quadrant.
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
only in case of known problems with mask insertion
