adapt_merge (esas-0.10.5) [xmmsas_20190531_1155-18.0.0]


Algorithm

adapt_merge creates adaptively smoothed background subtracted and exposure corrected mosaicked images. For each unmasked pixel, the program will average neighboring pixels within a circle of increasing radius until a selected number of counts from the count image is reached. The original pixel is then given the average surface brightness for the pixels within the circle.
