######################################

``NumberUnassociatedDiaObjectsMetricTask`` computes the number of DIAObjects that are *not* updated when processing data through source association (as the ``ap_association.numUnassociatedDiaObjects`` metric).
It requires task metadata as input.
While the task can operate at image-level or coarser granularity, the current algorithm may double-count objects and should not be run on multiple visits.

.. _lsst.ap.association.metrics.NumberUnassociatedDiaObjectsMetricTask-summary:

Processing summary
==================

``NumberUnassociatedDiaObjectsMetricTask`` reads ``AssociationTask`` statistics from task metadata associated with one or more processed images.
It uses these statistics to count the number of unassociated DIAObjects when processing those images.
