Usually, the reduction of iris-measurements d of stellar photographic images to magnitudes m is performed with one-dimensional regression m = f(d), obtained using standard stars (Burkhead & Seeds 1971). The derivation of accurate magnitudes is difficult due to many factors (Butler 1972). Considering that the star image shape contains information on the sensitivity of the plate and the color of the star, Vladimirov (1978) recommended multi-parametric determination of the magnitudes, using a system of isodense bounded areas of the stellar images. Here this approach is implemented using software that performs a general multi-parametric method (MPM) of iris-photometry.
