In this work, we focus on applying our method to the detection of AGN candidates in a Sloan Digital Sky Survey galaxy sample, since the identification and classification of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the optical band still remains a challenging task in extragalactic astronomy.

Overall, we find significant differences in the distributions of quantities derived from S\'ersic profiles ($g'-r'$, $r'-i'$, $R_e$, and $\bar{\mu}_{e, r'}$), and non-parametric indices ($A$ and $S$) between the Fornax main cluster and Fornax A group.
