Detection

In this part, we present how the sources on the subtraction are detected. Detection is on two levels. Initially, the subtraction is convoluted by a filter close to the PSF to allow the detection of the objects. The objects presenting a signal on noise at the top of a threshold are then selected. One then estimates precisely their positions, flux and signal on noise. One selects finally the most interesting candidates according to a certain number of criteria.
