A New Bolide Station at the High Tatra Mountains

The European Fireball Network (EN) is operating since 1963 and one of its stable stations, from the very beginning, is the station at the Skalnate Pleso Observatory in the High Tatras. The station is sited at a height of 1788 m. More than 2900 expositions has been made at the Skalnate Pleso station since 1964 and among them one significant and spectacular event was recorded––bolide Turji-Remety in 2001 followed by a fall of about 450 kg meteorite (Spurny and Porubcan [in: Warmbein (ed.) Asteroids Comets Meteors, 2002]). A systematic search for the meteorite was unsuccessful. The new station having an ideal horizon will be operating since July 2007 on the top of Lomnicky Stit (2636 m above the sea level). This station will be equipped with an Autonomous Fireball Observatory of the Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, which are already utilized in the Czech part of the EN for several years.     

面向应用需求的星载多光谱相机指标设置探讨

卫星研制和应用相互脱节是卫星数据质量无法有效满足应用需求的重要原因之一,如果不进行调整,将制约国产卫星数据的推广应用。在影响卫星数据质量的诸多因素中,其载荷相机的指标设置是核心和关键,因其决定了所获取数据的可应用范围及效益。在对国内外卫星载荷指标设置系统调研分析的基础上,根据国内用户对数据的使用情况,以地质矿产应用需求为主,兼顾土地、环保、农业、林业以及减灾等行业应用需求,就用户关心的相机谱段范围、空间分辨率、图像幅宽及重访周期等可见光/近红外多光谱相机基本指标设置提出了建议,旨在为相机的研制提供应用支撑。     

室内控制场数码相机检校应用于通用航空摄影测量的可行性研究

非量测数码相机已广泛应用于计算机视觉、摄影测量等领域,但必须对其进行内定向和构像畸变的校正。常用的检校方法主要有室外检校法和室内检校法两类,其中利用室外三维控制场进行数码相机检校是目前较为成熟的做法,而室内三维控制场检校精度能否达到常规比例尺航空摄影要求尚未进行有效验证。通过论述一整套室内三维控制场相机检校方法,并对比分析两种检校结果表明,室内三维控制场检校精度还无法满足通用航摄精度要求。

Field testing of robotic technologies to support ground ice prospecting in martian polygonal terrain

Polygonal terrain, a landform commonly associated with the presence of ground ice, is widespread throughout the high latitudes on Mars. In this paper, we present the results of field testing a potential mission concept for the robotic prospecting of ground ice in polygonal terrain. The focus of the paper is on the key robotic technologies that could be used to implement the concept and the engineering lessons we learned (as opposed to the specific scientific findings of our field tests). In particular, we have found that a lander- or rover-mounted lidar and a rover-borne stereo camera/ground-penetrating radar suite are two important scientific tools that may be used to help pin-point ground ice prior to subsurface sampling. We field tested some aspects of this mission concept on a previously - unstudied polygonal terrain site on Devon Island in the Canadian High Arctic (a common Mars/Moon analogue site) during the summer of 2008. This unique collaboration between technological and scientific communities has led to a deeper understanding of how such a science-driven mission could actually be implemented robotically.

Rapid texture mapping from image sequences for building geometry model

An effective approach,mapping the texture for building model based on the digital photogrammetric theory, is proposed. The easily-ac-quired image sequences from digital video camera on helicopter are used as texture resource, and the correspon-dence between the space edge in build-ing geometry model and its line feature in image sequences is determined semi-automatically. The experimental re-sults in production of three-dimension-al data for car navigation show us an attractive future both in efficiency and effect.     

Assessing plantation canopy condition from airborne imagery using spectral mixture analysis and fractional abundances

Pine plantations in Australia are subject to a range of abiotic and biotic damaging agents that affect tree health and productivity. In order to optimise management decisions, plantation managers require regular intelligence relating to the status and trends in the health and condition of trees within individual compartments. Remote sensing technology offers an alternative to traditional ground-based assessment of these plantations. Automated estimation of foliar crown health, especially in degraded crowns, can be difficult due to mixed pixels when there is low or fragmented vegetation cover. In this study we apply a linear spectral unmixing approach to high spatial resolution (50 cm) multispectral imagery to quantify the fractional abundances of the key image endmembers: sunlit canopy, shadow, and soil. A number of Pinus radiata tree crown attributes were modelled using multiple linear regression and endmember fraction images. We found high levels of significance (r² = 0.80) for the overall crown colour and colour of the crown leader (r² = 0.79) in tree crowns affected by the fungal pathogen Sphaeropsis sapinea, which produces both needle necrosis and chlorosis. Results for stands associated with defoliation and chlorosis through infestation by the aphid Essigella californica were lower with an r² = 0.33 for crown transparency and r² = 0.31 for proportion of crown affected. Similar analysis of data from a nitrogen deficient site produced an outcome somewhat in between the other two damaging agents. Overall the sunlit canopy image fraction has been the most important variable used in the modelling of forest condition for all damaging agents.

大面阵CCD影像多通道不一致性消除算法

大面阵CCD多通道影像转移过程中,由于通道硬件的偏置和增益的不一致,将造成各通道影像的亮度和反差的微小差异,以致重建后的大面阵CCD影像出现条带效应。提出基于随机序列分析的模拟运动影像拼接算法,并将这种方法与基于影像直方图均衡化和影像直方图规定化的影像拼接算法进行比较。实验证明,基于随机序列分析的模拟运动影像拼接算法不仅能保持拼接后的影像整体一致性,而且能较好的消除拼接缝。该算法已经应用于我国第一台大面阵彩色CCD数字航测相机的影像预处理。
