It covers filtering and noise modeling, deconvolution, detection, compression of large and hyperspectral data sets, multiwavelength analysis, and the analysis of catalogs and the cosmic web. The second edition was updated throughout, with new contributions on hyperspectral compression, multiwavelength analysis, and the genus function, and it reflects the shift toward e-science and the virtual observatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAstronomical Image and Data Analysis, Second Edition, paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Springer Astronomy and Astrophysics Library series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoverage of filtering, deconvolution, detection, image compression, multichannel data, and catalog analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated topics including compression of hyperspectral data and multiwavelength data analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover image from the Deep Impact mission, deconvolved with the Richardson-Lucy method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Springer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraduate students and researchers in astronomy and astrophysics who process imaging and survey data, instrument and pipeline scientists at observatories, and signal-processing engineers who want a worked treatment of wavelets applied to real scientific data.

Compared with the first, it updates the methods, broadens the data types covered, and adds contributions from colleagues on hyperspectral and multiwavelength problems that have only grown more relevant as surveys produce more data.
