Presentation: Image Analysis for the One Degree Imager TelescopeOctober 20 2011, 16:35 to 17:00, IMU Robert Henschel from the High Performance Applications group will give this presentation at HPSS User Forum 2011. The One Degree Imager (ODI) is the flagship of the Wisconsin, Indiana Yale, NOAO (WIYN) Consortium's new instrument initiatives for the 3.5 meter telescope installed at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona. The combination of its large size and ability for electronic image stabilization make ODI a unique and very competitive instrument. ODI is sensitive to visible light and features a one thousand mega-pixel camera. The Pervasive Technology Institute of Indiana University has been working with NOAO (National Optical Astronomy Observatory) and WIYN to develop a new innovative software system to deal with the massive influx of data produced by the new instrument. It will leverage U's cyberinfrastructure including the Data Capacitor and the Scholarly Data Archive as well as leveraging IU's involvement in XSEDE. This talk will outline the image analysis workflow of ODI and how IU’s HPSS installation plays a vital role in ensuring on-time delivery of scientific data products. |
