One way to extract this information is to fit model functions to the objects in the image. We have explored the use of a Moffat function as a data model, and use a genetic algorithm to fit many instances of this function to the data in the image. The example of stellar photometry is used, a natural application for the Moffat function.EngComputer Scienceunknown1995-565-17http://dx.doi.org/10.11575/PRISM/30923
