exposeImage()

template<typename realT >

void mx::AO::sim::ccdDetector< realT >::exposeImage	(	imageT &	out,
		imageT &	in
	)

Rebin and add noise to the input image, placing the result in the output image.

The output image must be the same size or smaller than the input image. The output image is resized only if necessary. The input image is multiplied by expTime, so its flux should be in photons/sec. Noise is modeled as follows:

1. The number of input photons for pixel (i,j) is \( n_{ie} = (in(i,j) + darkCurrent)*expTime + cic \)
2. The Poisson distribution with mean and variance \( n_{ie} \) is sampled.
3. If gain > 1, the gamma distribution is sampled
4. Read noise is applied
5. Result is rounded to nearest whole integer.

Parameters

[out]	out	The output image, after all above steps applied.
[in]	in	the input image, in photons/sec flux units.
