Science with Astronomical Near-Infrared Sky Surveys Proceedings of the Les Houches School, Centre de Physique des Houches, Les Houches, France, 20–24 September, 1993

Outstanding progress in near-infrared detection technology and in real-time image processing has led astronomers to start undertaking all-sky surveys in the 1--2 mum range (project DENIS in Europe and 2MASS in the U.S.A.), surveys which will have a considerable impact in various areas of astronomy....
