| Abstract |
PySE is a Python software package for finding and measuring sources in
radio telescope images. The software was designed to detect sources in
the LOFAR telescope images, but can be used with images from other radio
telescopes as well. We introduce the LOFAR Telescope, the context within
which PySE was developed, the design of PySE, and describe how it is
used. Detailed experiments on the validation and testing of PySE are
then presented, along with results of performance testing. We discuss
some of the current issues with the algorithms implemented in PySE and
their interaction with LOFAR images, concluding with the current status
of PySE and its future development.
