Future improvements
Stars: PSF measurement/fitting
§ Already in there (experimental)
§ Processing speed is good (>>100 detections/s)
§ Deals with variable PSFs, both undersampled and oversampled
§ Excellent photometric/astrometric results but requires changing the detection engine
Galaxies
§ Petrosian magnitudes
§ Fitting of galaxy parameters
§ Automatic tuning of the star/galaxy separation
Mapping of the background noise autocorrelation function
§ Automatic tuning of detection parameters
Parallelization of the code
Interfacing
§ Handle MEF for input and output
§ Make it possible to use SExtractor as a library
§ Add support for XML-compliant configuration files, logs and catalogs
