UFO.detect

giant.ufo.ufo_class:

UFO.detect()[source]

This method detects potential UFOs in all images that have been added to the camera and have not been processed yet.

This essentially boils down to a series of calls to Detector methods.

  1. Detector.update_attitude()

  2. Detector.find_ufos()

  3. Detector.package_results()

  4. Detector.remove_duplicate()

  5. Optionally Detector.identify_hot_pixels_and_unmatched_stars()

where the last is only called if identify_hot_pixels_and_unmatched_stars is set to True

Once complete, the results of the detections can be found in Detector.detection_data_frame.
