Springer Image Processing Techniques in Astronomy - 1975 Conference Proceedings

This volume documents the proceedings of the International Conference on Image Processing Techniques in Astronomy, held in Utrecht during March 25-27, 1975. The conference was organised around the VAMP (Vol Automatische Micro Photometer) microdensitometer at the Utrecht Astronomical Institute, bringing together leading astronomers and researchers to examine image processing methodologies and compare instrumental capabilities across international observatories. The meeting provided a crucial forum for evaluating recording techniques, discussing performance metrics of advanced equipment, and establishing standards for astronomical data processing during this formative period in digital astronomy. Published by Springer as Volume 54 in the Astrophysics and Space Science Library series, this proceedings collection presents peer-reviewed contributions from the Scientific Organising Committee and participating researchers, offering historical and technical insights into observational astronomy instrumentation and computational methods of the mid-1970s.
