Iteration

Each step in the detection process may affect the other steps. For example, detecting a bright row or column may facilitate detecting a moderately bright pixel next to it. For that reason, the whole process is iterated until nothing new is detected, or until the maximum number of iterations (set by the niter parameter) is reached.
