• vacation last week, so this is the progress report for the week before
• czar 2 days (monday/tuesday) - encountered a few problems with stdscience (it didn't load up the survey tasks for some reason)
• addstar
  • restarted dvodb merge
  • restarted addstar on 3pi
  • can't rsync minidvodbs on ipp022 - not enough space, Gene is going to clean it up
  • made dvodb of LAP (all but z band)
  • fixed bugs in addtool -definebyquery
• made a wiki of the current uses for the manoa cluster: ​http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/wiki/Development_Cluster_Uses
• with Gene's help we figured out isp astrometry needs the luminosity match turned off. I haven't rerun my test set yet.
• M31 jtrp reprocessing
• off friday

• PSVO
  • fixed issue where plugin queries not available in jar version of software
  • added constraints to numeric plugin parameters: now popup will only accept 'allowed' values
  • add regular expression constraints to string values
  • added some public documentation on the PSPS wiki (leaving developers' notes on the private 'system' wiki)
  • added more plug-ins: frame counts by survey or filter, get frames by filter
  • removed summary panel, as this can now all be handled with plug-ins
  • fixed some minor issues in PSQB (query builder)
  • adventures with Derby: using client/server mode, rather than embedded. can store to local db, pull out from TOPCAT etc. All hidden from the user.
  • tested new version of TOPCAT

• Retrieved LAP data for Jim

• Czar on Thurs/Fri
• lots of mailing list action

• Stacking: identified problem with rejection in the convolved stacks as being caused by the large fraction of the total variance contributed by the systematic variance (defined as 0.1 * data). This dominates for inputs with large bright artifacts, and causes faint inputs to be dropped, as they do not have a large systematic variance. Working on bugfixes to re-implement the systematic variance to be defined by the distribution of input values provided by the KMM test. This should provide a better result, and ensure that all inputs are treated equally.
• asinh scaling: writing phase largely complete, but have not yet tested reading these images back in.
• Registration: fixed summitExp.dateobs/rawExp.dateobs bug in the registration code on the trunk.
• Disk space: queued a large amount of unneeded LAP data for cleanup, and continued running ROC repair script.
