Marek, I don't see clearly the difference between "Data processing"
and "Picture processing".

Furthermore,  "Picture" makes me think of jpeg or gif files.
Astrophysicists use almost universally (with the exception of
planetary astronomers, I think) fits[1] files and rarely refer to
their data as pictures.  The term Image or Frame is more commonly
used.

Please read me well, I'm not trying to impose a given terminology, I
only express my doubts of the
accuracy of the words used.

Regards, Sergio
