The Second SKA-France Image Processing Meeting took place at the Lagrange Laboratory of Côte d’Azur Observatory (Nice) on February 27th, 2017. Seventeen participants from different French research institutes (Observatoire de Paris, Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur, AIM laboratory, ENS Cachan, Paris 10 University, INSA Rennes) brainstormed about their recent developments on state-of-the-art algorithms for calibration and deconvolution of radio astronomy observations. The discussion was followed by one participant from Bull/ATOS, company in charge of coordinating two of the working groups (Co-design and Parallelisation) which were set up during the Second SKA-France High Performance Computing Workshop.

A highlight about state-of-the-art algorithms developed in France has been published by the SKA Organisation on November 10, 2016, during the SKA 2016 meeting in Goa, India (see box in this page for more information about the conference). French teams from Observatoire de Paris, Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur, AIM Laboratory, ENS Cachan and Université Paris X are actively working on new generation algorithms for calibration and deconvolution of radio astronomical observations.

André Ferrari will give a course at Peyresq signal and image processing summer school.

MAGELLAN will be at the signal processing workshop organized by SKA France
