Clear Skies Ahead: Towards Real-Time Automatic Sky Replacement in Video
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
In this work, we propose an algorithm for automatic replacement of the sky region in a video with a different sky, providing nonprofessional users with a simple yet efficient tool to seamlessly replace ...
The method is fast, achieving close to real-time performance on mobile devices and the user's involvement can remain as limited as simply selecting the replacement sky. ...
) in random locations within the ground-truth sky area, increasing the ability of the network to identify high-contrast clouds on clear skies. ...

Local-Global Context Aware Transformer for Language-Guided Video Segmentation
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
Further, our Locater based solution achieved the 1st place in the Referring Video Object Segmentation Track of the 3rd Large-scale Video Object Segmentation Challenge. ...
The memory also allows Locater to process videos with linear time complexity and constant size memory, while Transformer-style self-attention computation scales quadratically with sequence length. ...
Specifically: • For A2D-S + S , videos are concatenated along the width axis exclusively, since height-axis concatenation might violate the natural up-down order in real world, e.g., sky should be on top ...

Techniques For Near-Earth Interplanetary Matter Detection And Characterisation From Optical Ground-Based Observatories
2017
Zenodo
We develop a method to determine this flux using video observations of meteors and analyse the properties of meteors as an optical proxy to meteoroids in order to maximise the detection. ...
First we design and develop a meteor all-sky detection station for Observatorio UCM and use the Draconids 2011 campaign as a showcase for the flux determination, with successful results. ...
Therefore the processing should be done on real-time and only real meteor detections should be recorded in order to optimise the data storage. ...

Laser beaming demonstrations at the Starfire Optical Range
1995
Laser Power Beaming II
The ruby laser projected 20 J in 6 ms out the telescope with a beam divergence that increased from 1.4 to 4 times the diffraction limit during that time. ...
The satellite brightened by about a factor of 30 in the sunlight when the laser was turned on, and dimmed back to normal when the 50-pradian point-ahead was turned off. ...
At the chosen time, the acquisition operator selects the desired satellite from the list; the telescope is then automatically moved to the location where the satellite is expected to be and automatically ...

The history of astrometry
2012
The European Physical Journal H
Over the past 400 years, during which positional accuracy has improved roughly logarithmically with time, the distances to the nearest stars were triangulated, making use of the extended measurement baseline ...
After a period in the middle years of the twentieth century in which accuracy improvements were greatly hampered by the perturbing effects of the Earth's atmosphere, ultra-high accuracies of star positions ...
I am grateful to my many colleagues involved in the Hipparcos project who, over many years, stimulated and advanced my own involvement in astrometry, as well as in its history. ...
