20.2. CORE CALIBRATION 237<br />

5. method=‘vision’<br />

method: This method uses a model called the VISION Model. This is a rather severe<br />

method and can kill off much of your data. It does produce very nice clean images<br />

though – it is good at eliminating ghosts from raster MOSAICs.<br />

routine called: corr transient vision<br />

PDS side effects: Unstable pixels are flagged in .MASK and .CUBE is modified.<br />

reference: <strong><strong>ISO</strong>CAM</strong> Handbook, Chapter Data processing methods, Section Vision model.<br />

6. method=‘med’<br />

method: Global transient removal using a median filter. Best for extracting faint pointlike<br />

sources from a raster observation with many pointings. See the online documentation<br />

(Section 2.3.2) for detailed restrictions and caveats.<br />

routine called: corr transient med<br />

PDS side effects: Undefined pixels are flagged in .MASK and .CUBE is modified.<br />

20.2.4 Reducing IMAGEs to EXPOSUREs<br />

All the IMAGEs accrued in each CAM STATE (or <strong>ISO</strong> pointing) can be averaged to an EXPO-<br />

SURE. Although different averaging methods exist, in general the routine reduce reduces the<br />

IMAGEs as follow:<br />

1. The sets of IMAGEs corresponding to individual STATEs are extracted by reduce from<br />

.CUBE.<br />

2. Each set of IMAGEs, along with .MASK, is passed to reduce cube.<br />

3. reduce cube averages the IMAGEs to an EXPOSURE taking .MASK into account –<br />

pixels which have been flagged because of instability, glitches, etc. . . are ignored. The EX-<br />

POSURE, its RMS image and the weight image are returned. Each pixel of the weight<br />

image equals the number of IMAGE pixels which have been averaged to create a corresponding<br />

pixel in the EXPOSURE.<br />

4. The EXPOSURE, its RMS image and the weight image are placed into the PDS fields<br />

.IMAGE, .RMS and .NPIX respectively.<br />

The default averaging method is to take a mean of the IMAGEs. Other available methods<br />

are described below.<br />

1. /median<br />

method: Takes the median of the IMAGEs to form the EXPOSURE.<br />

routine called: la median<br />

PDS side effects: The PDS fields .IMAGE, .RMS and .NPIX are filled.
