Abstract
The NGVS is mapping the Virgo Cluster with a depth making possible to detect very low surface brightness (LSB) structures, such as faint dwarf galaxies. To extract these from just above the sky noise and make statistical studies of their properties, we use the software MARSIAA (MARkovian Software for Image Analysis in Astronomy). This segmentation software uses a Markovian approach to classify pixels and identify low-surface brightness structures.
