Comparison of PACO (left) and the robust extension of PACO introduced in this paper (right) on the SPHERE-IRDIS ADI dataset with 30 fake point sources injected in addition to the two known faint point sources (same level of contrast as presented in Flasseur et al. 2018a). The detection maps are given together with the S/N values of the 60 first detections. The six fake sources closest to the host star are denoted by digits ① to ⑥. The two real sources are indicated in pink. The increase in S/N brought by the robust approach is given as a percentage on the detection map.
