+ | [[en: | ||
+ | We want to improve our designs by software development supported by European Space Agency. | ||
+ | ===== Ideas ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Expand existing station-based measurements to cooperative sensor network overcoming professional astronomy measurements. | ||
+ | - Design algorithms and implement technology for astronomy observations management on distributed sensor network. | ||
+ | - Extend existing systems for easy implementation to whole EU region. | ||

+ | === Detection station software Installation package === | ||
+ | |||
+ | For data acquisition we are using our open-source software [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | The radio-observer application was developed with a support of ESA and now is deployed at new stations of the newly established Bolidozor detection network. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Expected results == | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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**: | ||

+ | === Visualization software === | ||

+ | Implement new features and algorithms to [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Better HTML5 interface should be developed for live inspection of the received stream by many concurrent users over the internet. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Expected results == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Single package which will be able to install software needed for viewing and processing of meteor signals collected from measurement stations over internet. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Difficulty**: | ||
+ | Ability to learn and use third-party libraries necessary to implement the solution (CFITSIO, libfft, libusb, ...) | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Station maintenance software | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||

+ | |||
+ | **Difficulty**: | ||
+ | Knowledge of scripting languages is necessary to implement the solution (Python is preferred). Ability to use/learn to use basic development tools (IDE, version control software, issue tracking systems). | ||

+ | ==== General purpose radio-astronomy station software ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Knowledge prerequisites == | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Basic knowledge of signal analysis | ||
+ | * Good math skills, at least the knowledge what Fourier transform does. | ||
+ | * Knowledge of the most frequently used data structures and algorithms, networking and thread programming. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Solar flares detection station === | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Set of software scripts constructed as plugins for radio-observer software. These scripts should implement signal purification in various radiotelescope designs. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ==== 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 for evaluation of our radio meteor detection metods. | ||
