Detailed Description

Fit every line of pixels parallel to any axis in a Lattice.

Prerequisite

Synopsis

For every line in the lattice parallel to axis number whichAxis (often axis number 2, typically the frequency axis in a spectral line cube) independently fit the functions in fitter at the positions where fitMask is true.

Example

Suppose one wanted to subtract a linear polynomial from every spectrum (3d axis) in an image. One could do this as follows:

Image<Float> myImage("myimage"); // Get the image
uInt nchan = myImage.shape()(2); // 0 relative axis number
// Set up the fitter
Polynomial<AutoDiff<Float> > linear(1);
LinearFitSVD<Float> fitter;
fitter.setFunction(linear);
Vector<Float> fittedParameters,
// Set up a mask indicating what channels we want to fit over. We want
// to fit over all channels.
Vector<Bool> fitMask(nchan); fitMask = True;
// Do the fit. True means subtract the fit from the model. In this case,
// We overwrite the input with the output.
fitProfiles (myImage, fittedParameters,fitter, myImage, 2, fitMask, True);

Motivation

Baseline fitting/continuum subtraction are important functions. This function essentially implements the IMLIN algorithm.

Fit baseline to lattice.

Presently the fit parameters, other than the last one(s) in fitter, are lost. If returnResiduals is True, return data-fit, otherwise return the fit. For baseline and continuum subtraction, returnResiduals would normally be True.

)
static

Fit baseline to MaskedLattice.

Fit and residuals can be optionally written (leave pointers at zero to not write out these lattices) You can optionally specify a weights lattice (1.0 if not given).
