NAME:
dewarp
PURPOSE:
Transforms an image from (x,y) to ($\xi$,$\eta$) accounting for rotation and warping.
DESCRIPTION:
Transforms an image from the (x,y) coordinate plane to the ($\xi$,$\eta$)
coordinate plane. If the image is rotated, the coefficients on the terms
of the basis can be adjusted to perform the rotation. Photometric pixel
values in the resulting image are obtained from interpolation if necessary.
CATEGORY:
Astrometry
CALLING SEQUENCE:
dewarp,ininfo,imgarr,outinfo,imgout,nx,ny
INPUTS:
ininfo - Image transformation structure that describes how the input
image maps to the plane-of-the-sky. See astxn2xy.pro for
required information. Note that this routine only uses
the FULL transformation option.
imgarr - Input image (array)
outinfo - Image transformation structure that describes how the output
image maps to the plane-of-the-sky. See astxn2xy.pro for
required information. Note that this routine only uses
the FULL transformation option.
imgout - Output image (array), may already exist and is added to if /ADD set
nx - xsize of the output image, if imgout exists and ADD is set then
this value defaults to the existing size of imgout. Without
/ADD this value is required.
ny - ysize of the output image, if imgout exists and ADD is set then
this value defaults to the existing size of imgout. Without
/ADD this value is required.
OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS:
KEYWORD INPUT PARAMETERS:
ADD - Flag, if set indicates the dewarped image should be added to the
destination,
Else the dewarped image will be copied to the destination.
OUTPUTS:
imgout - The transformed photometric array in (x,y) coordinates based on a
cubic convolution resampling of the original photometric array using
the transformed coordinates.
KEYWORD OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
COUNT - An optional output array with the same dimensions as imgout. Each
element of the array indicates how many values have been added to the
corresponding pixel. This information then can be used during an averaging
process.
COMMON BLOCKS:
SIDE EFFECTS:
RESTRICTIONS:
There is as yet an unresolved issue with flux normalization between
input and output images. At the moment, the input and output should
be regarded to be on separate photometric systems.
