We present the Umbrella software suite for asteroid detection, validation,
identification and reporting. The current core of Umbrella is an open-source
modular library, called Umbrella2, that includes algorithms and interfaces for
all steps of the processing pipeline, including a novel detection algorithm for
faint trails. Building on the library, we have also implemented a detection
pipeline accessible both as a desktop program (ViaNearby) and via a web server
(Webrella), which we have successfully used in near real-time data reduction of
a few asteroid surveys on the Wide Field Camera of the Isaac Newton Telescope.
In this paper we describe the library, focusing on the interfaces and
algorithms available, and we present the results obtained with the desktop
version on a set of well-curated fields used by the EURONEAR project as an
asteroid detection benchmark.
