Digital Preservation and Web Access to the Konkoly Observatory Schmidt Telescope Plate Archive

Tsvetkova, Katya, Tsvetkov, Milcho, Holl, András (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): J.2. The digital preservation of the Konkoly Observatory Schmidt telescope plates, as well as the web access to the plate previews, aim for the preservation of this scientific heritage and the re-use of the astronomical photographic plates in time domain astronomy. The photographic plates used as detectors and information storage at astronomical observations with the Konkoly Schmidt telescope had been obtained in the period 1962–1996. The...

Photographic Plate Libraries at European Astronomical Observatories

Tsvetkova, Katya, Tsvetkov, Milcho, Kounchev, Ognyan (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): J.2. This paper presents the efforts to organize photographic plate libraries at European astronomical observatories and institutions. The Wide-Field Plate Database project, launched in 1991, has been collecting data about the plates, including plate archives, plate index catalogue data extracted from the logbooks, and digitized plate images. Developing further the WFPDB project, we intend to complete the high-resolution digitization...

The Wide-Field Plate Database: Development and Access via Internet

Tsvetkov, Milcho (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): J.2. The motivations and results from the first 1.5-year period of the project “Wide-field Plate Database (WFPDB): Development and Access via Internet” (DO-02-273/18.12.2008), approved for funding through a competition held by the Bulgarian National Science Fund in the field of Promotion of Research in Priority Areas, are described. The main direction of the development of the project is digitization and preservation of, and web...

Software Tools for Digitization of Astronomical Photographic Plates

Kirov, Nikolay, Tsvetkov, Milcho, Tsvetkova, Katya (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): J.2. In this paper we present tools for helping the process of digitization of astronomical photographic plates. The requirements of Virtual Observatory presume that any FITS file, which contains a digital image, has to be equipped with a complete header. Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB) offers most of the meta-data needed for the creation of FITS header. The header2011 software gives the user an appropriate tool for connecting...

Technology for Scanning Astronomical Photographic Plates

Tsvetkov, Milcho, Tsvetkova, Katya, Kirov, Nikolay (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): J.2. Here we describe the technology and the experience during the astronomical photographic plate digitization with flatbed EPSON scanners. More than 275000 plates in different observatories in Europe were digitized with such scanners last decade. This work is supported by the BG NSF DO-02-273 and DO-02-275 grants and DFG grant STE: 710/6-1,20.11.2009.

Data Extraction from Carte Du Ciel Triple Images

Laskov, Lasko, Tsvetkov, Milcho (2013)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

Carte du Ciel (from French, map of the sky) is a part of a 19th century extensive international astronomical project whose goal was to map the entire visible sky. The results of this vast effort were collected in the form of astrographic plates and their paper representatives that are called astrographic maps and are widely distributed among many observatories and astronomical institutes over the world. Our goal is to design methods and algorithms to automatically extract data from digitized...
