... The task first computes a background image in order to identify pixels that may be part of a source. The task uses two different algorithms for detecting ``point'' and ``extended'' sources. ... This is necessary because some faint ``point'' sources may have been missed by the point-source detection algorithm, but picked up by the extended-source detection algorithm. ... When the detection process is finished a check is made on extended sources to see if they can be split into two or more sources. ...
