Weekly Community Image Processing Challenge – Zeta Ophiuchi
We are starting a weekly community image-processing challenge focused on improving processing skills using shared datasets.
Each week, a dataset will be shared and members are invited to process it independently using their preferred software and techniques. The results can be compared, and an anonymous poll may be used to select a preferred result.
