Nonetheless, occasional failures occur and the scientist must check the results visually. This last problem deserves some discussion. False positive detection may improve when the option of a constant, rather than variable, background map is implemented. The wavdetect output unfortunately does not state which sources where detected at which spatial scales. Beware running more than one wavdetect simultaneously on the same event file, even if they run on different CPUs.
Bad interactions can ensue.
It also runs celldetect across the array, though we do not recommend using celldetect results. It is currently set at 1024 and must be a power of 2. It causes adjacent wavdetect segments to overlap so sources are not missed at the edges. Many other files are produced, and it is recommended this be run in a separate directory. Cause and cure are unknown.
