% Detector model with photon and electron noise sources and A/D conversion.
Includes all noise sources. You enter target or centroid locations.
You can define centroids using e.r, e.theta and e.h for shape. If you
enter a pixelmap, it is assumed to be in photons - it is multiplied by the
quantum efficiency to get the electron counts.
You must call DetectorModel( 'initialize', e ) first and then p =
DetectorModel( 'update', e, p, i ) on every update step. The fixed noise
parameters are stored in persistent cariables,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
e = DetectorModel( 'struct' )
DetectorModel( 'initialize', e )
p = DetectorModel( 'update', e, p, i )
[r,m] = DetectorModel( 'rss', e )
