Add moments based shape measurement method #3

Closed EiffL closed 3 years ago

EiffL commented 3 years ago

For some of the tests we want to run, we want to be able to compute some ellipticity parameters with a very simple estimator. We can start by a moments based approach, although in principle we can also back-propagate through a fitting algorithm, so we could do an ngmix-like model afterwards. And ultimately, we anyway probably want to use some neural estimator ;-)

So the goal of this issue is to track the development of a simple shape measurement method, a tf function, that would take a postage stamp as input, maybe a PSF (although we don't really care because we are doing metacal and we reconvolve by a circular PSF), and return e1, e2 (in batch ideally ;-) )

I'm gonna close this one for now, because this is maybe something we will be looking at elsewhere
