MeasureDefectsTask
####################

``MeasureCrosstalkTask`` is a task to identify detector defects by looking for pixels that are significantly different than the image mean.

.. _lsst.cp.pipe.MeasureDefectsTask-processing-summary:

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

``MeasureDefectsTask`` runs these operations in a loop over amplifiers:

#. Measures the clipped mean to estimate the background level.
#. Subtracts that background from the image.
#. Identifies pixels that are either above or below the configured sigma thresholds.
#. Constructs a `~lsst.ip.isr.Defects` object from the footprint set of those pixels.
