Filtering technique for image analysis

The measuring of the flocculation parameters is based on the analysis of the optical records obtained with the settling column. These records consist of images of aggregates or flocs grabbed with a digital camera. Flocs are lightened by means of a laser sheet coming from the side. The laser light is scattered by the flocs and recorded by the...

Accurate spacecraft attitude estimation with the ESA starmapper

The ESA starmapper is an optical-electronic instrument with an array of photo-sensitive slits, to "be strapped down to spinning spacecraft. Recorded times of passage of known stars over these slits, together with mathematical models for spacecraft dynamics and starmapper instrument, provide the basis for recursive estimation of the spacecraft...
