The TERAPIX Pipeline
Abstract
I report on the software development effort involved in the TERAPIX project. TERAPIX is essentially dedicated to the processing of MEGACAM data; however, TERAPIX software modules are designed for a broader use, and provide the necessary tools to reduce most CCD imaging surveys. The TERAPIX tasks include automatic pre-reduction, image calibrations, resampling, co-addition and source extraction. I describe our technical choices, as well as the main software features and performance.
