Interactive visualization of astronomical catalogs requires novel techniques due to the huge volumes and complex structure of the data produced by existing and upcoming astronomical surveys. The creation as well as the disclosure of the…
The MocServer is an astronomical service dedicated to the manipulation of data set coverages. This server sets together about 15 000 spatial footprints associated to catalogs, data bases and pixel surveys. Thanks to the Multi-Order Coverage…
The time domain community wants robust and reliable tools to enable production of and subscription to community-endorsed event notification packets (VOEvent). The VAO Transient Facility (VTF) is being designed to be the premier brokering…
Visual Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (VSLAM) is a well-known problem in robotics with a large range of applications. This paper presents a novel approach to VSLAM by lifting the observer design to a novel Lie group on which the…
Autonomous and targeted underwater visual monitoring and exploration using Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) can be a challenging task due to both online and offline constraints. The online constraints comprise limited onboard storage…
With the evolution of microservice applications, the underlying architectures have become increasingly complex compared to their monolith counterparts. This mainly brings in the challenge of observability. By providing a deeper…
ADARI (Astronomical DAta Reporting Infrastructure) is a system designed for creating graphical reports of astronomical data so that the quality of these products can be assessed. It has been designed from the ground up to be…

We developed a system to run quick analyses of Cherenkov data in compliance with the FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management (FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable), through the use of interoperability…
We present a Python tool to generate a standard dataset from solar images that allows for user-defined selection criteria and a range of pre-processing steps. Our Python tool works with all image products from both the Solar and…
Time series forecasting is essential for agents to make decisions. Traditional approaches rely on statistical methods to forecast given past numeric values. In practice, end-users often rely on visualizations such as charts and plots to…
A robust evaluation toolset has been designed for Naval Research Laboratory's Real-Time Ocean Forecasting System RELO with the purpose of facilitating an adaptive sampling strategy and providing more educated guidance for routing underwater…
Generally, high-level features provide more geometrical information compared to point features, which can be exploited to further constrain motions. Planes are commonplace in man-made environments, offering an active means to reduce drift,…
The increase in space activities has increased the risks of space debris generation, affecting space safety and sustainability. Traditional space situational awareness (SSA) relies on single star trackers and ground-based tracking…
Industrial facilities often require periodic visual inspections of key installations. Examining these points of interest is time consuming, potentially hazardous or require special equipment to reach. MAVs are ideal platforms to automate…
The proliferation of satellite constellations, coupled with reduced tasking latency and diverse sensor capabilities, has expanded the opportunities for automated Earth observation. This paper introduces a fully automated Tip-and-Cue…
The Transient Optical Sky Survey (TOSS) is an automated, ground-based telescope system dedicated to searching for optical transient events. Small telescope tubes are mounted on a tracking, semi-equatorial frame with a single polar axis.…
The Virtual Observatory has reached sufficient maturity for its routine scientific exploitation by astronomers. To prove this statement, here I present a brief description of the complete VO-powered PhD thesis entitled "Galactic and…
The exploration of the universe is experiencing a huge development thanks to the success and possibilities of today's major space telescope missions which can generate measurements and images with a resolution 100 times higher than their…
