A brand new MAJA ATBD

I have always wanted to provide an Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document related to MAJA, but never had time, because I always had more urgent things to do. Some papers had been published, allowing MAJA users to get a good idea or the methods we use, but the published articles did not cover all the features of MAJA.

But this time, due to a contractual engagement with ESA, it was the urgent thing to do. So, at last, after a few weeks of hard work, here it is. If you have already read the papers from our team, you will recognize some text published quite a long time ago, but we updated all the text and added some parts which had not been explained yet in journal publications, and of course the new parts recently added to MAJA. This ATBD is now in line with version 2.0 of MAJA.

The ATBD can be cited with the following reference :
