User Interface for the ESO Advanced Data Products Image Reduction Pipeline

摘要

The poster presents a friendly user interface for image re-duction, totally written in Python and developed by the Advanced DataProducts (ADP) group. The interface is a front-end to the ESO/MVM image reduction package,originally developed in the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) project and usedcurrently to reduce imaging data from several instruments such as WFI,ISAAC, SOFI and FORS1. As part of its scope, the interface produces high-level, VO-compliant,science images from raw data providing the astronomer with a completemonitoring system during the reduction, computing also statistical imageproperties for data quality assessment. The interface is meant to be used for VO services and it is free butun-maintained software and the intention of the authors is to share codeand experience. The poster describes the interface architecture and current capabilitiesand give a description of the ESO/MVM engine for image reduction. TheESO/MVM engine should be released by the end of this year.
