POBRExtractor is a Python-based pipeline designed to perform source detection and photometric measurements on multi-band astronomical images.
It takes as input several images of the same sky region across different filters and produces an object catalog containing astrometric and photometric information.
This project was developed as part of the course “Tratamento de Dados Astronômicos” at the Observatório do Valongo – UFRJ, under the supervision of Bruno Morgado.
This code is designed as a simplified educational prototype rather than a full production pipeline. Please don't take it serious.
