NAME

       hawki_step_detect_obj - Object detection recipe

SYNOPSIS

       esorex hawki_step_detect_obj [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       hawki_step_detect_obj -- hawki detect objects recipe.

       This  recipe  detects objects from the combined image creating a mask and a list of object properties The
       input of the recipe files listed in the Set  Of  Frames  (sof-file)  must  be  tagged  as:  combined.fits
       COMBINED The recipe creates as an output: hawki_step_detect_obj_mask.fits (OBJ_MASK): A mask with 1 where
       the  objects  are  present and 0 elsewhere hawki_step_detect_obj_stars.fits (OBJ_PARAM): A table with the
       detected objects characteristics Return code: esorex exits  with  an  error  code  of  0  if  the  recipe
       completes successfully or 1 otherwise

OPTIONS

       --sigma_det <float>
              detection  level  (float; default: 6.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
              file is hawki.hawki_step_detect_obj.sigma_det [default = 6.0].

       --growing_radius <long>
              radius of convolution kernel to apply to objects (long; default: 5). The full name of this  option
              for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_step_detect_obj.growing_radius [default = 5].

       Note  that  it  is  possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable
       default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command.
