Afterword

In this article, I indicate that enormous images are being produced and many new objects can be buried in them. Then I describe the overview of a database system under construction in order to discover those objects and the current situation and problems of image processing in detail, which is a main task for the system.

At the Cometary Summer School, I told the prototype of the system would be open in the public in July or August at most. But actually, the work goes more slowly than expected. Anyway, the experimental system will be open at my home page in the near future. I hope you use it and please evaluate it. It is my best pleasure if the system really help you find out new objects from your images.

This project is named MISAO project, standing for Multitudinous Image-based Sky-survey by Accumulative Observations. And the system to detect stars from the image and identify them with those in catalogs is named PIXY system, standing for Practical Image eXamination and Inner-objects Identification system (it is PIXII literally, but should be spelled as PIXY).

On the work after the Cometary Summer School, I will make a presentation at the Comet and Minor Planet Conference in 1997 August. The progression of this project and the prototype system are to be opened in the public at my home page.

Now is the generation of a network. The main advantage of a network is that it can be a base for collaboration by many people. So I really would like to complete the technique to discovery new objects from images and set up a system for collaborating new objects survey by many people as described in this article. And the new objects discovery in the future should be so. In order to realize the conception, I will study and work still more on constructing the database and completing automated new objects discovery from images.
