  - process
```
public abstract void process(Image[] inputs,
                             Image output,
                             int[] source,
                             Sampler samp,
                             DepthSampler dsamp)
```
    Perform the processing task associated with this object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    inputs - The array of input survey images.
    
    output - The output user image. A null output may signal that an error has taken place. If this processor wishes to do something in response to the error, it may look at the ErrorMsg setting.
    
    source - An array giving the source image for each output pixel.
    
    samp - The sampler object used to do spatial sampling of the input images.
    
    dsamp - The sampler in the energy dimension (often null).
  - updateHeader
```
public abstract void updateHeader(nom.tam.fits.Header header)
```
    Update the FITS header to indicate what processing was done.
  - updatesOutput
```
public abstract boolean updatesOutput()
```
    Does this processor actually modify the output array?
