<strong>MOPEX</strong> User’s <strong>Guide</strong><br />

INTERP METHOD: There are four possible interpolation methods. These are discussed in<br />

§.5.6.8. Since high spatial frequency information is not critical for simple backgroundmatching,<br />

the default templates for Overlap use a coarse Grid method for speed.<br />

Mosaic Interpolate output subdirectory: The subdirectory of that you wish<br />

to use for the output files. Default is Interp-overlap.<br />

Mask bright object: Check this box to tell <strong>MOPEX</strong> to implement Bright Object Masking.<br />

This masks bright objects in the BCDs, and so should provide a more accurate backgroundmatching<br />

result where there are bright objects in the field of view.<br />

OUTPUT<br />

Mosaic FIF Table (mosaic_fif.tbl): The FIF table describing the final mosaic, taking into<br />

account the user-selected pixel size. Note: This file is saved in the top level Output directory.<br />

Geometry Output Table (interp_ImageList.txt.tbl): The interpolated images' offsets in x-<br />

and y-direction relative to the FIF and their sizes are specified in this file.<br />

Interp Stack (interp_*fits): The output images, interpolated, distortion-corrected, and<br />

projected onto the output FIF. A list is also made.<br />

Coverage Stack (interp_*covg.fits): The corresponding coverage maps for each output<br />

image, taking into account the bad pixels in the input. A list is also made.<br />
