- | ==== Video meteor detection system ==== | ||
- | Several projects of visual meteor detection software currently exist. But neither is open-source and all of them have poor results and large false positive detection rates. We need a high quality video meteor detection system | + | ===== Tasks for SOCIS participants ===== |
- | Video data will be collected by our design | + | There are several tasks for SOCIS participants in the summer 2015 you can choose one. There are brief description |

- | ==== Station maintenance | + | The student has to adopt [[https:// |
- | Measuring station is a complex computer based system which needs internal self checking, failure detection, calibration and continuous maintenance of data collection. A software to carry out these tasks is required. It should generate reports concerning station health and upload these files to the data server. | + | === Project details === |
- | === Expected results === | + | With use of interferometry the direction of target object can be discovered. We intended to use two FITS radio reflexion record for determine of direction to reflection. The radio-observer application has to be extended for simultaneous recording of two two signals from two radios with synchronised Local Oscillator. These two records can be used for calculation of correlation. Finally the direction of reflected signal will be found from this correlation. Student helps community with acquisition of another information from meteor trails records. |

- | + | ||
- | Consistent software package (ideally .deb installation file) which will be able to install necessary software for detection and collection of meteor signals for new measurement stations in the network. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Difficulty**: | + | |
+ | The new measuring stations generates huge amount of data. Generated data should be adequately presented to project audience. But data presentation is huge problem due to abstraction of signals to human. | ||

- | * Good math skills, at least the knowledge what Fourier transform does. | + | === Project details === |
- | * Knowledge of the most frequently used data structures | + | |
- | ==== Solar flares | + | A huge database of radio meteor detections exists. There are snapshots in FITS format for each meteor |
+ | A HTML5 web interface should be developed for live inspection of the received stream by many concurrent users over the internet. | ||
- | Combination of radio-observer with the Basic radio astronomy station design brings opportunity to detect radio bursts exited by solar flares. These data are useful for Heliophysics. However, a solar radio burst is weak compared to the local man-made noise and signal must therefore be cleared of this noise before the detection and classification. | + | {{:cs:sdr:5-06.27.14-10_08_15.jpg? |
- | {{ : | + | There are a sample of records from two station 50 km away each other. There are two detections of possible identical meteor. Relative shift of this detections from a time mark (horizontal line in signal) has to be found for next computation of meteor trail. Some estimation of region of meteor occurrence can be determined from this measurement. The student will adopt some skills of use of bistatic radar in space science |
