[StripCluster] Check and correct if needed the cluser noise calculation #20

Closed duartej closed 6 years ago

duartej commented 6 years ago

Check method at https://github.com/duartej/postproc-alibava/blob/master/src/StripCluster.cxx#L73 to calculate the noise of a cluster. It should be added in quadrature, so far is not. Check the counter part from Eutelescope (as probably the StripClusters' algorithm is highly inspired from there https://github.com/eutelescope/eutelescope/blob/master/processors/src/alibava/AlibavaCluster.cc#L153)

Confirmed that the cluster signal-to-noise was wrongly calculated (just adding the channel noise), instead of evaluating the SNR as Sum_{i=cluster pixels} q_i/noise_i , which is the correct way.
