Solar Image Processing Workshop IIGovernor Calvert House, Historic Inns of Annapolis,Annapolis, Maryland, USA. 3 - 5 November, 2004. |
|
This workshop aims to provide (1) an overview of the current state of the art of image processing in solar physics and (2) exposure to modern image processing approaches that may be unfamiliar to solar physicists. We intend to provide a multi-disciplinary forum for the cross-pollination of the solar physics and image processing communities so that we may maximize the science returns from existing and future datasets. SIPWork II will follow on the success of the Solar Image Recognition Workshop held in the Royal Observatory of Belgium in October 2003.
The application image processing methods to existing data - such as RHESSI, SOHO, TRACE, BBSO, and the VTT - and to the large volume and variety of data from upcoming missions - such as SDO and STEREO - will be discussed.
The meeting will be held on 3-5 November 2004 in historic Annapolis, Maryland, USA. Further details can be found at URL: http://www.solarmonitor.org/~ptg/SIPWorkII. Registration is now closed.
This Workshop is supported by NASA's Sun-Earth Connection Division.
