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
--median_smooth <long>
box size for a median smoothing of the image before the detection (long; default: 3). The full
name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_step_detect_obj.median_smooth
[default = 3].
--detect_sigma <float>
detection level (float; default: 7.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
file is hawki.hawki_step_detect_obj.detect_sigma [default = 7.0].
--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.
