Data Reduction Detailed Design

For a subset of each Template, a Reduction Recipe will be defined (calibration, reduction, quality control). The following description will be given:

• General Description
  • Context of utilisation (type of object)
  • pre- and post- observation calibration data
  • Resulting data format (image structure, header)
  • Expected pre-processing, post-processing
  • Supports pipeline calibration (unsupervised)
  • Requires user interaction
• Mathematical Description
  • Mathematical justification
  • Articles, Publication
  • Error propagation
  • Random, systematic error estimation
  • Domain, limits of validity
• Code Description and Implementation
  • C-like syntax:
    • Basic mathematical functions and operations
    • Reference to a publicly available algorithm (e.g. Lapack)
    • Control structures (tests, branches)
  • Flow-charts

  The implementation of the code is also provided (see Section 6.2).

• Validation Sets
  • FITS images and tables
  • Input data and parameters
  • Intermediate results
  • Final results
• Annex
  • Articles, publications
  • Working group reports
