Description
The shift and add process means that the counts observed in each pixel
of an OSW image may have been accumulated in several different
detector pixels. This task takes the OM tracking history and applies
it to the map of bad pixels defined in the CCF. The result is an
increase in the area of the OSW image contaminated by bad pixels. The
bad pixel map produced by this task will be used by the source
detection algorithms and the OMMODMAP task. The binning of the bad
pixel map, and the offset of the science window, are read from the
headers of the OSW image, which is an input of the task.
