``DynamicDetectionTask`` detects sources on an image with a dynamic threshold.

.. _lsst.meas.algorithms.DynamicDetectionTask-summary:

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

``DynamicDetectionTask`` runs this sequence of operations:

#. Detects sources using a lower threshold than normal in order to identify good sky regions.

#. Performs forced PSF photometry on identified sky regions.

#. Sets threshold so that the standard deviation of measurements matches median estimated error using PSF flux measurements and estimated errors.
