.SH NAME
vimos_ima_fringe \- Fringe frame creation for imaging

.SH SYNOPSIS
esorex
.B vimos_ima_fringe
[OPTIONS] FILE.sof

.SH DESCRIPTION
vimos_ima_fringe \-\- VIMOS fringe frame creation recipe.
.PP

Take a list of science frames and correct them to remove bias, dark
and flat field signatures. Combine the images to form a new master
fringe frame

The program accepts the following files in the SOF:

    Tag                   Description
    
    OBJECT                A list of raw science images
    MASTER_BIAS           A master bias frame
    MASTER_DARK           A master dark frame
    MASTER_TWILIGHT_FLAT  A master flat frame
    MASTER_CONF           A master confidence map
    MASTER_READGAIN       A master readgain table
All of these are required.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-\-prettynames\fR \fI<bool>\fR
Use pretty product names? (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
file is \fBvimos.vimos_ima_fringe.prettynames\fR [default = \fIFalse\fR].
.TP
\fB\-\-psm_ipix\fR \fI<int>\fR
Minimum pixel area for each detected object (int; default: 5). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
file is \fBvimos.vimos_ima_fringe.psm_ipix\fR [default = \fI5\fR].
.TP
\fB\-\-psm_thresh\fR \fI<float>\fR
Detection threshold in sigma above sky (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
file is \fBvimos.vimos_ima_fringe.psm_thresh\fR [default = \fI3.0\fR].
.TP
\fB\-\-psm_nbsize\fR \fI<int>\fR
Background smoothing box size (int; default: 64). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
file is \fBvimos.vimos_ima_fringe.psm_nbsize\fR [default = \fI64\fR].

.PP
Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these
options, along with suitable default values. Please refer to the details
provided by the 'esorex \-\-help' command.
