    5 Primary purpose is to wrap up and activate the convolution direction choice in ppSub. (pseudo-primary, purpose really to reduce number of false diffim detections)
     5The primary purpose has been expanded and redirected. While it appeared that the fixed convolution direction may have been the likely cause of an overabundance of false detections from residuals of bright sources in the field, issues in the convolved stack with a resulting larger than selected target PSF has illustrated there may also be issues with the PSF matching/convolution itself.
    66
    7 Secondary purpose is to monitor if working as expected and address any additional issues (convolution troubles) and baseline to verify against any future changes in code (test set).
     7 * is the code doing what we want
     8 * is the code doing what we think
     9 * has something changed in the data or what the code is doing
    810
     11General tasks (no particular order):
     12 * wrap up and activate the convolution direction choice in ppSub for general use option
     13 * test and verify the PSF matching/convolution, include the "no-conv" case as well for close matches
     14 * investigate options for the false detections (may be flags2 use, may be solved with PSF matching or convolution direction)
     15 * monitor if working as expected and address any additional issues found
     16 * establish a baseline to verify against any past/future changes in code and with reprocessing (a test set of real+simulated images) 
     17 *

     35= Setup =
     36Operations tag for testing base diffims is ipp-20111220 (since local tests could/should fix at some r since the tag has revisions added to it? )
    2737
    28 == Convolution direction choice ==
    29 We want to avoid large deconvolution in PSF-matching image subtraction. As the image quality of the images continues to improve, always convolving the reference stack will not produce the best difference image and convolving the input image is desired. The quality of the difference image is evaluated in both directions and the better is chosen for the output (add specific details).

    31 Current tag for testing base diffims is ipp-20111220 (since local tests should stay at some r)

     38Branch for originally testing the choice of convolution direction but now full development testing is also updated to r33098 (from 1/11/2012) -- http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/browser/branches/meh_branches/ppsub_test

     55We want to avoid large deconvolution in PSF-matching image subtraction. As the image quality of the images continues to improve, always convolving the reference stack will not produce the best difference image and convolving the input image is desired. The quality of the difference image is evaluated in both directions and the better is chosen for the output (need to add specific condition test).

    128154Need tests to verify changes will not break diffims for other surveys (MOPS etc) but do not need to worry about magic now. Not for testing if they will choose the right direction (only if using AUTO), but changes involved part of the normalization and will need to verify doesn't change flux/variance values:

    155173Is there any conflict with the expected desired direction? Compare to CfA photpipe, detection counts.
     
    158176Is the convolution not optimal?

    160 == HOTPANTs comparisons ==
     178== HOTPANT Diffim Comparisons ==
    161179Difficult to automate and may want to force both directions for comparison as well as shallower reference stacks to use. Are the diffims continuing to produce similar results.
    162180 * for select night samples should setup and run locally. still on the todo list.
