Parse Subarray Map

Description

SUBARR_MAP extension

This pipeline step is only useful for full raw science frames which have been acquired concurrently with subarrays.

Each subarray is processed separately and the full science frame is also acquired and has missing values at the location of each of the subarrays (up to 10) which are currently being acquired.

The raw science frame from the detector has a dedicated FITS extension that encodes the location of the subarrays, i.e. has zeros everywhere, then a rectangle of 1 at the location of subarray 1, a rectangle of 2 at the location of subarray 2 and so on. Subarrays cannot overlap.

Parse subarray map extension

This step gets the information from this extension and duplicates it into the header as IRISImageModel.meta.subarray_map, which is a ASDF-based property in the FITS file which encodes the metadata of the subarrays as a list of dictionaries:

IRISImageModel.meta.subarray_map = [{"xstart":80, "ystart":70, "xsize":10, "ysize":10}, {"xstart":10, "ystart":20, "xsize":20, "ysize":20}]

It also raises 1 bit of the data quality flag dq so that the algorithms which filter out bad data, e.g. when taking mean or median, automatically filters them out. The bit used for that is SUBARRAY_DQ_BIT in parse_subarray_map_step.py.
