NAME: addcrs PURPOSE: Add synthetic cosmic ray strikes to a CCD image. DESCRIPTION: Using an estimate of mean strikes on the image, an actual strike count is created as a Poisson deviate. Based on a normal distribution of maximum pixel intensity, the strikes are then added to the ccd image array. It is possible to save the struck image array as a fits file. CATEGORY: CCD data processing CALLING SEQUENCE: addcrs,meancrs,mincount,maxcount,img INPUTS: meancrs - Average number of strikes to add per image. mincount - lowest DN for cosmic ray strikes maxcount - highest DN for cosmic ray strikes seed - seed value for random number generation img - 2-D image array to be modified OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS: KEYWORD INPUT PARAMETERS: OVERSCAN - number of columns in overscan to skip, ie, if img is m X n, the region from [0:m-overscan-1, 0:n-1] is where the cosmic rays will be added. FITSFN - full path name to write FITS file of the modified img. DEBUG - Flag, if set, turn on debug output. OUTPUTS: img 2-D image array to be modified KEYWORD OUTPUT PARAMETERS: CRSOUT - Output, number of cosmic rays added to the image. COMMON BLOCKS: SIDE EFFECTS: RESTRICTIONS: PROCEDURE: MODIFICATION HISTORY: 2006/07/02, Written, Peter L. Collins, Lowell Observatory (as addcrstrikes,pro, for avgclip testing) 2006/07/10, PLC, extend pixel size of cr strike for visibility in itool. (keyword PIXEXT) 2006/07/11, changed name and dns values chosen by uniform draw. 2006/07/13, PLC, add keyword CRSOUT. 2006/07/14, MWB, final cleanup and addition to library
