BlobFinder [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/JulienPeloton/BlobFinder.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/JulienPeloton/BlobFinder)
==

Package to find point sources in sky maps.
The signal-to-noise ratio of sources is optimized with respect to the background using a matched filter,
following the work of ACT [1007.5256](https://arxiv.org/abs/1007.5256).
