Feather together an interferometer and a single dish image in the Fourier plane


Synopsis
feather(image, highres, lowres, lowpsf, usedefaultvp, vptable, async)



Description
Basically the "imerg" algorithm of AIPS and SDE, or the "feather" algorithm of MIRIAD, we regrid the total power (or low resolution) image onto the interferometer (or high resolution) image, Fourier transform both the interferometer and single dish images, down weight the Fourier transform of the interferometer image by 1.0 - FT(low res psf), add the weighted interferometer Fourier plane to the single dish Fourier plane, and transform back into the image plane.

The tapering is by the transform of a point spread function. If lowpsf is specified, that image is used, otherwise the appropriate telescope beam is used. The point spread function for a single dish image may be calculated using approximatepsf.



Arguments

image Name of output feathered image
Allowed: Image
Default: 'feathered.image'
highres Name of high resolution (interferometer) image
Allowed: Image
lowres Name of low resolution (single dish) image
Allowed: Image
lowpsf Name of optional low resolution point spread function
Allowed: Image
usedefaultvp Use the default vp type?
Allowed: Bool
Default: T
vptable Voltage pattern table from the vpmanager for detailed specification
Allowed: Table
async Run asynchronously in the background
Allowed: Bool
Default: !dowait



Returns
Bool


Example
imgr.feather(image='feathered.image', highres='casa.vlaonly',
lowres='casa.sd', usedefaultvp=F, vptable='sd.vptable');
