The goal of the algorithm is to find contiguous structures of pixels in an image given that:

1. each pixel is brighther than a given threshold and
2. the contiguous structure is more extended than a given area.

This algorithm can be used to detect substructures in residual images as follows

from finder import ClumpFinder

cf = ClumpFinder(
    image, mask, mask_bg, mask_bulge
)

cf.detect(model, flux_threshold, surface_threshold)
