Abstract
This paper will present the techniques needed to convert the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) high resolution echelle spectra into useful scientific data.
The image is obtained with a digitally controlled SEC Vidicon camera system. The processes that must be carried out on the image include: noise removal, correction for geometric and optical distortion, non-uniform photometric corrections and two dimensional wavelength determination. Results from the breadboard camera system will be presented.
