MOPEX User’s Guide
Dual Outlier Images (proj_*_detmap_dual_outlier.fits): The output images with outlier
pixels flagged. Outliers have negative values and real sources have positive values.
DISCUSSION
Outlier rejection employs a complicated set of algorithms. The basic concept of Dual Outlier
detection is to use both spatial and temporal filtering method. If you do not have good
coverage or you want to make sure the edges of your mosaic image are clean of outliers, you
should use this option. See §8.2.3 for full details of Dual Outlier Detection.
The output outlier maps have likely outliers flagged on a pixel-by-pixel basis. However,
clusters may contain both positive and negative identifications. The Level module next
determines whether each cluster should be considered an outlier or not in its entirety.

This module is the last step in Dua l Outlier detection. This module makes the correction to
the dual outlier maps produced in the Mosaic Dual Outlier module. The dual detection map is
