<small>REPORT ASTRO-WISE TELECON 25 sept 2003<br>
=======================================<br>
<br>
NEWS:<br>
<br>
++ list of people and responsibilities was mailed,<br>
it also includes directions for bug reporting<br>
<br>
++ Edwin reminds that in Q4 of 2003 our milestone is to have all<br>
classes defined. When this is finshed, Danny's life with updating db<br>
schemas, syncing with code base etc should become simpler.<br>
<br>
++ We received a (partly buggy) version of SLOAN's C++ library for htm <br>
and are busy implementing and testing it <br>
<br>
++ Fjodr + Danny + new person from Liege will form STREAMS evaluation
task force team <br>
<br>
++ We will organize a workvisit here in Groningen, dedicated to<br>
photometry and flatfielding in the near future. Niightsky flats can
be<br>
discussed during that week.<br>
<br>
It was agreed to have this ASTRO-WISE workfloor gathering during the<br>
WEEK 17 - 21 November<br>
<br>
<br>
Action items on responsible persons, cvs earmarking (test-base),
Astrobench, filename, <br>
ftp from ESO were close/<br>
<br>
AI's on QC rephrased<br>
<br>
Implementation of Filename proposal will start<br>
New AI on masking<br>
<br>
Action Items<br>
================<br>
<br>
AI Danny 11/09/03<br>
Formalize procedure for schema-evolution between test and base<br>
versions of the code<br>
<br>
AI Alfredo 11/09/03<br>
Integrate QC tools into verify and compare formalism (make QC<br>
persistent). Evaluate if/how these tools encompass an integrated<br>
full blown quality control system.<br>
+ New version of Terapix QC sofware will be send to OAC ; OAC will
check it out.<br>
<br>
<br>
AI Roeland, Ronald 11/09/03<br>
Make top level Dither recipe (nearly done)<br>
<br>
AI Roberto 11/09/03 <br>
Add the OAC de-fringing method as a second, alternative method to<br>
ReducedScienceFrame<br>
<br>
AI Edwin 11/09/03<br>
Write report on Bias recipes and the found hysteresis in the FIERRAs.<br>
<br>
<br>
AI RRe (Telecon 25/9/03)<br>
Coordinate the various masking activities and put this inot a stable
scheme (doc)<br>
<br>
AI USM (Telecon 24/7/03)<br>
Add USM cr-program to CVS and provide interface<br>
Update 07/08/03 -- Changed responsibility from RRe to USM<br>
<br>
AI EBe (Telecon 24/7/03)<br>
Apply patch DBo to sextractor (fixes wcs issues)<br>
<br>
AI EDe (Telecon 25/9/03)<br>
Implement filenaming proposal into AW<br>
<br>
AI RRe (Telecon 24/6/03 updated 25/9/03)<br>
Merge "Manual.tex", "Cookbook.tex" into a single document.<br>
Update 07/08/04 -- README shall not be incorporated into this<br>
document<br>
<br>
AI RRe 02/06/03 (Telecon 2/6/03)<br>
Contact ESO (Michele or Yves Jung) about status of Eclipse and<br>
possibility to feed our changes to Eclipse back to the main Eclipse<br>
branch again. Check out the possibility to introduce FFT in eclipse<br>
for flat field pipeline.<br>
Update 14/7/03 -- Sent message to Michele Peron, Added FFT to eclipse<br>
no reply from ESO<br>
<br>
<br>
AI DBo +MPa (Updated 25/9/03)<br>
Define automated installation procedure and put this in doc.<br>
<br>
<br>
AI OAC 31/10/02<br>
review and upgrade present recipes for calibration pipeline (bias,<br>
FF, fringing) as far as quality control is concerned: check<br>
specifications, test recipes, contribute to improve scripts (due<br>
1-3-03).<br>
10/7/03 -- Number of modifications/additions now expected to be small<br>
and finished within 2 months<br>
<br>
AI USM 31/10/02<br>
will play guinea-pig for the federated database- WFI data will be<br>
used to populate a first version.<br>
15/5/03 -- Mid-June prototype implementations will start.<br>
