Mid-latitude All-sky-imager Network for Geophysical Observation
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThis project presents the design of an all-sky imager network system. The designed system is capable of taking all-sky images of upper atmospheric airglows and low-latitude auroras, and applying image processing algorithms to correct distortions and to eliminate background noise. This design incorporates novel astronomical image processing routines designed in Python. The processed images are then geo-located on a map of the United States for real-time display on a website. This system will be used to study macroscopic-scale auroras and airglows over the country and to characterize the dynamics of charged particles in the ionosphere. SRI International also intends to get high-school students involved in space-science education using this system.
