Scientific paper

The paper describes automated methods developed for the purpose of classifying images detected with the University of Minnesota Automated Plate Scanner (APS) for cataloging the first epoch Palomar Sky Survey. A novel automated image classification technique, using a neural network for distinguishing stars from nonstellar objects was developed where classifications into stellar and nonstellar categories are based upon a 14-element image parameter set. It is shown that the application of a neural network allows a large number of image parameters to be used simultaneously in a classification.
