validation_data_cfht

Raw data from CFHT to validate the performance of the LSST DM stack and provide reference comparisons for development. The data consists of two full CFHT images centered at ra/dec (214.884832, 52.6622199), plus refcats covering the imaging region.

Data are targeted at use by LSST DM Stack developers, continuous integration tests and faro

The "raw" data are not actually truly "raw", but rather post-ISR processing of the CFHT data by the Terapix(?) archive. http:terapix. [**]

These data are provided without a preset Butler repository, but with the necessary scripts and config files to setup and process the data easily.

Credit to Dominique Boutigny for selecting and providing these data from the public CFHT survey.

Example usage

The bin/ directory contains all necessary scripts for configuring and processing this data. To create a gen3 butler repo/ directory and ingest the raws and refcats to run processing on, run:

bash bin/make_butler.sh

To process the data with the configurations in config/, run:

bash bin/run_pipeline.sh
