Notes.105, 104 and 103 (counts per detector) indicate the three different levels of statistics considered in the test. The comparison is made with the parameters characterizing the simulated configurations represented in the first row of Fig. 1 (ground truth parameters in the last column). The meaning of the parameters in the first column is described in the text. Parameters A2, B2, C5, D5 and E5 are pure numbers; parameters A1, B1, C4, D4 and E4 are in deg; all other parameters are in arcsec.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
