Fueled by the proliferation of IoT devices and increased adoption of sensing environments the collection of spatiotemporal data has exploded in recent years. Disk based storage systems provide reliable archives but are far too slow for efficient analytics and spatiotemp...

The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) has successfully operated on-orbit for nearly ten years since its launch in October 2011, continuously making global observations and improving studies of ...

Purpose This paper aims to report the first iteration on the Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) Engineering Model altimeter named HELENA. HELENA is a Time of Flight (TOF) altimeter that provides time-tagged distances and velocity measurements. The LIDAR can be used fo...

The article discusses and presents the formulation of problems of inter-project unification of on-board systems in the development of modifications of spacecraft that are part of space systems for remote sensing of the Earth. It is shown that when developing a complex o...

Modern lidar sensors are continuing to decrease in size, weight, and cost, but the demand for fast, abundant, and high-accuracy lidar observations is only increasing. The Livox Mid-40 lidar sensor was designed for use within sense-and-avoid navigation systems for autono...

Abstract. The launch and operation of the first spaceborne Doppler wind lidar (DWL), Aeolus, is of great significance for observing the global wind field. Aeolus operates on a sun-synchronous dawn–dusk orbit to minimize the negative impact of solar background radiation ...

New developments in instrumentation and data analysis have further improved the perspectives of hyperspectral imaging in clinical use. Thus, hyperspectral imaging can be considered as “Next Generation Imaging” for future clinical research. As a contactless, non-invasiv...

Knowledge of turbulence distribution along an experimental path can help in effective turbulence compensation and mitigation. Although scintillometers are traditionally used to measure the strength of turbulence, they provide a path-integrated measurement and have limit...

AbstractFor safe operation of active space crafts, the space debris population needs to be continuously scanned, to avoid collisions of active satellites with space debris. Especially the low Earth orbit (LEO) shows higher risks of collisions due to the highest density ...
