Signal and image processing techniques are prevalent in Astronomy and Cosmology. In these areas, new applications are arising due to several new large international research and development projects for constructing radio telescopes (SKA, LOFAR) and adaptive optics telescopes (GMT, Gemini, ESO VLT, Keck, Starfire Optical Range, AEOS, the Large Binocular Telescope). In addition, there are new missions to explore the solar environment such as the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), as well as important applications of signal processing for recovering and analyzing the cosmic microwave background emission data from the WMAP and PLANCK space missions. Other applications include imaging and detection of gamma-ray bursts, optical, UV, and IR astronomy, as well as image restoration and reconstruction techniques for optical astronomy. These new instruments will rely heavily on advanced signal processing techniques, many of which are still in the research phase.
