Centroid Parameters
This dialog sets preferences for certain centroid position measurements, as in the Source Extraction Module.
Sample Radius |
Specifies the maximum radius, in pixels units, for pixel value used in computing the centroid positon. The optimal radius is usually about 2 times the actual FWHM. For example, if the FWHM of a point source is critically sampled near 2 pixels, a sample radius of about 4 pixels gives the most accurate centroid position. |
