Detailed Description

A Threshold is used to pass a threshold value to detection algorithms.

The threshold may be a simple value (type == VALUE), or in units of the image standard deviation. Alternatively you may specify that you'll provide the standard deviation (type == STDEV) or variance (type == VARIANCE)

Note that the constructor is not declared explicit, so you may pass a bare threshold, and it'll be interpreted as a VALUE.

Member Enumeration Documentation

ThresholdType

enum lsst::afw::detection::Threshold::ThresholdType

Types of threshold:

Enumerator
VALUE	Use pixel value.
BITMASK	Use (pixels & (given mask))
STDEV	Use number of sigma given s.d.
VARIANCE	Use number of sigma given variance.
PIXEL_STDEV	Use number of sigma given per-pixel s.d.

Definition at line 46 of file Threshold.h.
