The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey is a large program to carry out multi-colorimaging of 100 early-type members of the Virgo Cluster using the AdvancedCamera for Surveys (ACS) on the Hubble Space Telescope. Deep F475W and F850LPimages (~ SDSS g and z) are being used to study the central regions of theprogram galaxies, their globular cluster systems, and the three-dimensionalstructure of Virgo itself. In this paper, we describe in detail the datareduction procedures used for the survey, including image registration,drizzling strategies, the computation of weight images, object detection, theidentification of globular cluster candidates, and the measurement of theirphotometric and structural parameters.
