A system for detecting and classifying (faint) astronomical objects on photographic plates is presented. The system is planned to perform all the main operations, from the digitization of the plates with a PDS lOlOA microdensitometer up to the final classification, under the control of the VAX-11/750 central processor. The aim of the project is to obtain an objective classification and reliable description of large amounts of objects, in a reasonable amount of time,for specific research projects. The detection and classification procedure is organized in modules, each of which is general enough to be applied to different kinds of analyses and to different classes of objects, according to astronomical requirements. An example of application to the problem of star/galaxy discrimination is given.
