Detect performs image segmentation (see §8.4). In the Overlap pipeline, it is used only for<br />

bright object detection - i.e. to identify bright pixels (both spurious and astronomical) that<br />

should not contribute to the background matching. Detect produces bright object detection<br />

maps.<br />

INPUT<br />

Detection Max Area: (int) The maximum area (pixels) of a detected pixel cluster before<br />

iterative thresholding.<br />

Detection Min Area: (int) The minimum area (pixel) for a detected pixel cluster to be<br />

retained; smaller clusters are discarded.<br />

Detection Threshold: (float) The number of sigma above the mean to be used as the initial<br />

threshold used for cluster detection.<br />

Threshold Type : This parameter determines the way the image segmentation threshold is<br />

recalculated during iterative thresholding. The threshold type does not depend on the type of<br />

input image. See §8.3 for a description of the thresholding options.<br />

Detect output subdirectory: The subdirectory of that you wish to use for the<br />

output files. Default is Detect-overlap.<br />
