Abstract: As one of the Stage IV dark energy surveys, Rubin Observatory LSST has started commissioning recently, and will conduct its 10-year survey for the southern sky area of over 20,000 square degree. Its state-of-the-art image processing pipeline, the LSST Science Pipelines, is designed to serve as one of the highest quality general-purpose general-dataset pipelines in astronomy. The LSST Science Pipelines will coordinate goals from different scientific cases, and produce a graceful catalog for studies in both static sky and time domain astronomy. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the infrastructure and data flow in the LSST Science Pipelines, as well as its applications in processing datasets from existing telescopes, such as DECam and CFHT. Meanwhile, I will give a quick update on the working progress of our current project of CFHT image processing and analysis.
