`eradiate.pipelines`#

This module contains definitions for all post-processing pipeline operations. The implementation complies with the Hamilton dataflow framework’s specifications: the post-processing pipeline is modelled as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), and all post-processing operations are a node in that DAG.

Eradiate uses advanced Hamilton features to mutate the pipeline based on configuration input. For example:

Node names reflect the processed physical quantity.
Viewing angles are only computed if the measure is distant.
Post-processing operations vary depending on the active mode. For example, SRF weighted averaging is only performed in CKD modes.

For clarity, the implementation is split as follows:

eradiate.pipelines.logic provides the fundamental logic powering each step of post-processing;
eradiate.pipelines.definitions contains the pipeline definition and is intended to be consumed by the Hamilton driver constructor for pipeline initialization;
eradiate.pipelines.core provides convenience entry points to facilitate post-processing pipeline initialization.

Pipeline configuration#

Post-processing pipelines are configured using a dictionary specifying parameters listed in the table below. This dictionary is used as the input of the eradiate.pipelines.driver() function. It should be noted that eradiate.pipelines.config() can be used to generate a configuration dictionary easily.

Pipeline configuration variables#
Parameter	Type	Description
`add_viewing_angles`	`bool`	Whether the measure provides viewing angles that can be mapped to film pixels.
`apply_spectral_response`	`bool`	Whether we should apply SRF weighting (a.k.a convolution) to spectral variables.
`measure_distant`	`bool`	Whether we are processing the results of a distant measure.
`mode_id`	`str`	The ID of the Eradiate mode for which the pipeline is configured.
`var_name`, `var_metadata`	`str`	The name and metadata for the physical variable that is being processed.

Many nodes of the DAG defining the pipeline are tagged for filtering upon query. Tags explicitly used in the pipeline setup and execution are listed in the table below. The eradiate.pipelines.outputs() function leverages these tags to generate a list of default output nodes when running the post-processing pipeline.

Pipeline node tags#
Tag	Value	Description
`"final"`	`"true"`	The node’s output will be selected to be part of the default pipeline output.
`"kind"`		Defines the type of variable the node’s output corresponds to. Data with the `"data"` tag will be selected to be part of the default result dataset.
	`"data"`	The output is a data variable and can be assembled into a dataset.
	`"coord"`	The output is a coordinate variable.

eradiate.pipelines.logic.aggregate_ckd_quad(mode_id, raw_data, spectral_set)[source]#

Compute CKD quadrature.

In CKD modes, this pipeline step aggregates spectral data and evaluates the selected quadrature rule. The following updates to the input data are expected:

the g dimension is dropped;
a bin_wmin (resp. bin_wmax) coordinate is created and contains the lower (resp. upper) spectral bound of each bin;
the dataset is reordered by ascending w values.

Parameters:

mode_id (str) – Eradiate mode for which this pipeline step is configured. If set to “ckd”, CKD quadrature computation is performed; otherwise, it is a no-op.
raw_data (DataArray) – A data array holding raw bitmap data indexed against pixel indices.
spectral_set (WavelengthSet or BinSet) – Spectral set for which the CKD quadrature is computed.

Returns:

DataArray – A data array indexed against spectral coordinates associated with each spectral bin.

Notes

In non-CKD modes, this step is a no-op.
During pipeline assembly, this node expands as a single node named <var>.
The spp variable is averaged on the index dimension.

eradiate.pipelines.logic.apply_spectral_response(spectral_data, srf)[source]#

Apply SRF weighting (a.k.a convolution) to spectral data and turn it into a band aggregate.

Parameters:

spectral_data (DataArray) – Spectral data to process.

Returns:
