Window X, Y: (int) the X, Y size in input pixels of the window used to compute the<br />

background value.<br />

Outlie rs / Window: (int) the number of high outlier pixels rejected from the X*Y window<br />

when computing the Median background. For a very crowded field, the fraction of rejected<br />

pixels should be higher than for a less crowded field. Values of a few percent should be<br />

acceptable for uncrowded fields. If Outliers / Window is set too high, the background will be<br />

under-estimated.<br />

SExtractor background filter size: (int) Median filter box size for the Panels when the Use<br />

SExtractor background estimation option is turned on. A value less than 2 means no filtering.<br />

If greater than the minimum number of panels across an image, it will use the minimum.<br />

Use SExtractor background estimation: Checking this box invokes the Sbkg background<br />

estimate based on SExtractor. Leaving it unchecked causes <strong>MOPEX</strong> to use the default<br />

Median estimate.<br />

Med Filter output subdirectory: The subdirectory of that you wish to use for<br />

the output files. Default is Medfilter-PRF-Estimate.<br />
