SPARVM is a Software for Photometric and Astrometric Reduction of Video Meteors being developed at Armagh Observatory. It is written in Interactive Data Language (IDL) and is designed to run primarily under Linux platform. The basic features of the software will be derivation of light curves, estimation of angular velocity and radiant position for single station data. For double station data, calculation of 3D coordinates of meteors, velocity, brightness, and estimation of meteoroid's orbit including uncertainties. Currently, the software supports extraction of time and date from video frames, estimation of position of cameras (Azimuth, Altitude), finding stellar sources in video frames and transformation of coordinates from video, frames to Horizontal coordinate system (Azimuth, Altitude), and Equatorial coordinate system (RA, Dec).
