    This document describes CLLuPl, a tool for automatically detecting the leading edges of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in images from the STEREO Plastosphere Imagers. CLLuPl aims to consistently identify CMEs in a objective manner to reduce human bias. It extracts the coordinates of the leading edge to input into the Tappin-Howard model, which can then estimate properties of the CME like its location, structure, trajectory and speed. CLLuPl is an important tool for quickly and consistently identifying CMEs that may impact Earth, aiding the development of space weather prediction tools.
