PIXAVG @ Mean noise value PIXSTD @ True noise rms ---------------------------------------------------------------- IMEAN Type: Task Use: IMEAN will read a portion of an image and print the mean and rms brightnesses found. It also prints the location and value of the max and min brightnesses in that portion. For clean maps, the mean is converted into a total flux. An option to generate a histogram plot and/or print file is available. It also computes the peak and rms of the histogram of the image in an attempt to determine the mean and rms of the noise part of the signal. It determines the initial values for this from the header (ACTNOISE, ACTMEAN) or from a robust fit from the first plane of the image. Note that pixel values which are exactly zero are not used in the fit for the rms. This allows blanked pixels to be REMAGed to zero without affecting these computations. Two adverbs are returned by the task. This allows the fit noise to be used in other computations or tasks. The aperture for the computation may be either rectangular or circular. The histogram is computed even if it will not be plotted since it may be printed. Thus, BLC, TRC, DOINVERS, NBOXES, PIXRANGE are used even of DOHIST <= 0. Adverbs: DOHIST......True (>0) means plot the histogram determined with NBOXES and PIXRANGE. A second histogram is always computed, ignoring these adverbs, in an attempt to fit a Gaussian to the peak. If that is succesful, the fit is plotted on any plotted histogram. If 0 < DOHIST <= 1, then the flux is plotted on the Y axis and the counts on the X axis. If DOHIST > 1, the axes are reversed - which is a more common form. USERID......User ID of owner of image. Ignored. INNAME......Image name(name). Standard defaults. INCLASS.....Image name(class). Standard defaults. INSEQ.......Image name(seq. #). 0 => highest. INDISK......Disk drive # of image. 0 => any. BLC.........The Bottom Left-hand pixel of the subarray of the image to be analysed. The value (0,0) means (1,1). If BLC(1) = -1, then BLC(2) is taken as the radius of a circular aperture centered in TRC(1),TRC(2) which must be specified, not defaulted. TRC.........The Top Right-hand pixel of the subarray of the image to be analysed. The value (0,0) means the top right hand corner of the entire image. See note about circular aperture under BLC above. DOINVERS....> 0 Do the histogram OUTSIDE the rectangular or circular area defined by BLC/TRC <= 0 Do the histogram INSIDE (including borders) the rectangular or circular area defined by BLC/TRC NBOXES......Number of boxes used in computing histogram for plotting. The number of boxes used to compute the apparent noise rms is controlled by the task. <= 1 => 101 boxes, > 1024 => 512 PIXRANGE....Intensity range min/max over which plotted histogram is computed. Max <= min (i.e. 0) => full range. This is used to set the range between the center of box 1 and the center of box NBOXES. FUNCTYPE....Type of axis plot for number of samples in each box. 'LG' => log base 10, else linear. DOCAT.......> 0 => write the new actual noise estimate as keyword ACTNOISE and the estimate zero level as ACTMEAN in the image header. LTYPE.......Labelling type: 1 = border, 2 = no ticks, 3 - 10 = standard, with 7-10 all labels other than tick numbers and axis type are omitted. Less than 0 is the same except that the plot file version number and create time are omitted. OUTTEXT.....Output file to log measurements for later user processing. File created if it does not exist and appended to if it already exists. Nothing is is written to a file if the name is blank. File name should contain directory and file parts, i.e, "LOCAL:IMEAN.OUT" or "RUNFIL:IMPORTANT.POINTS". The histogram is printed into the file even if DOHIST <= 0. DOTV........> 0 => plot directly on the TV device, otherwise make a plot file for later display on one or more devices (including the TV if desired). GRCHAN......Graphics channel (1 - 7) to use for line drawing. 0 => 1 Output adverbs PIXAVG......Mean value of the noise part of the image. The final fit to the noise portion is returned. PIXSTD......RMS of the noise portion of the image. The final fit is returned. ----------------------------------------------------------------
