apply_time_delta_cleaning#

ctapipe.image.cleaning.apply_time_delta_cleaning(geom, mask, arrival_times, min_number_neighbors, time_limit)[source]#

Identify all pixels from selection that have less than N neighbors that arrived within a given timeframe.

Parameters:
geomctapipe.instrument.CameraGeometry

Camera geometry information

masknp.ndarray

boolean mask of selected pixels before apply_time_delta_cleaning

arrival_timesnp.ndarray

pixel timing information

min_number_neighborsint

a selected pixel needs at least this number of (already selected) neighbors that arrived within a given time_limit to itself to survive the cleaning.

time_limitint | float

arrival time limit for neighboring pixels

Returns:
A boolean mask of selected pixels.
