        Parameters
        ----------
        exposure : `lsst.afw.image.Exposure`
            Exposure on which we're detecting sources.
        seed : `int`
            RNG seed to use for finding sky objects.
        sigma : `float`, optional
            Gaussian sigma of smoothing kernel; if not provided,
            will be deduced from the exposure's PSF.
        minFractionSourcesFactor : `float`
            Change the fraction of required sky sources from that set in
            ``self.config.minFractionSources`` by this factor.  NOTE: this
            is intended for use in the background tweak pass (the detection
            threshold is much lower there, so many more pixels end up marked
            as DETECTED or DETECTED_NEGATIVE, leaving less room for sky
            object placement).
        isBgTweak : `bool`
           Set to ``True`` for the background tweak pass (for more helpful
           log messages).
        nPixMaskErode : `int`, optional
            Number of pixels by which to erode the detection masks on each
            iteration of best-effort sky object placement.
        maxMaskErodeIter : `int`, optional
            Maximum number of iterations for the detection mask erosion.

        result : `lsst.pipe.base.Struct`

            ``additive``

        Raises
        ------

        with a low threshold to mask all non-empty regions of the image. These

        uncontaminated by objects.  A final round of detection is then done

        expId : `int`, optional
            Exposure identifier, used as a seed for the random number
