Modules: Mosaic Reinterpolate

Namelist Trigger: run_mosaic_reinterpolate
Output Directory Keyword: REINTERP_DIR
Default Output Directory: <output_dir>/Reinterp
Depends on: Mosaic Interpolate; Mosaic RMask

Important Notes: Do not use this module when using the Drizzle interpolation scheme in the Mosaic Interpolate Module


PURPOSE

    This module runs the interpolation again using the Rmasks. Only pixels flagged by Rmasks are re-interpolated.

PARAMETER BLOCK

    &MOSAICREINTIN
    &END

INPUTS

    There are no user-defined inputs for this module

OUTPUTS

    ReInterp Stack (interp_*.fits): The new interpolated image stack, with Rmask-flagged pixels having been updated.

    ReInterp coverage (interp_*covg.fits): The corresponding coverage map for each interpolated image in the stack.

    ReInterp Sigma (interp_unc_*sigma.fits): The corresponding uncertainty files for each image in the stack.


DISCUSSION

Warning: Do not use this module when using the Drizzle interpolation scheme in the Mosaic Interpolate Module. See Mosaic Interpolate for more information.

The process of reinterpolation is performed after the various outlier masks are combined into the Rmasks by Mosaic Rmask. Only the pixels masked in the Rmask images are recomputed, which makes it much faster than doing interpolation from scratch again.

Reinterpolation uses the same interpolation scheme and other processing parameters as used by the original interpolation. All this information is recorded in the headers of the interpolated images. The newly interpolated images become the input to later modules.
