Data from current gravitational wave detectors contains a high rate of transient noise (glitches) that can trigger false detections and obscure true astrophysical events. Existing noise-detection algorithms largely rely on model-based…
Mini-EUSO is a space experiment selected to be installed inside the International Space Station. It has a compact telescope with a large field of view ($44 $\times$ 44$ sq. deg.) focusing light on an array of photo-multipliers tubes in…
The challenge of efficiently identifying anomalies in data sequences is an important statistical problem that now arises in many applications. Whilst there has been substantial work aimed at making statistical analyses robust to outliers,…
Every moment, countless meteoroids enter our atmosphere unseen. The detection and measurement of meteors offer the unique opportunity to gain insights into the composition of our solar systems' celestial bodies. Researchers, therefore,…
Autonomous indoor flight for critical asset inspection presents fundamental challenges in perception, planning, control, and learning. Despite rapid progress, there is still a lack of a compact, active-sensing, open-source platform that is…
This paper presents a real-time control system for surface inspection using multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The UAVs are coordinated in a specific formation to collect data of the inspecting objects. The communication platform for…
We announce the public release of the application program interface (API) for the Open Astronomy Catalogs (OACs), the OACAPI. The OACs serve near-complete collections of supernova, tidal disruption, kilonova, and fast stars data (including…
The availability of new Cloud Platform offered by Google motivated us to propose nine Proof of Concepts (PoC) aiming to demonstrated and test the capabilities of the platform in the context of scientifically-driven tasks and requirements.…
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are widely used and meet many demands in military and civilian fields. With the continuous enrichment and extensive expansion of application scenarios, the safety of UAVs is constantly being challenged. To…
In this study, we address the problem of in-flight object catching using a quadruped robot with a basket. Our objective is to accurately predict the impact point, defined as the object's landing position. This task poses two key challenges:…
We describe three real time data analysis systems implemented during the third phase of the OGLE survey (OGLE-III). The EWS system is designed to detect on-going microlensing events. The EEWS system monitors the microlensing phenomena for…
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) detection underpins almost all aspects of vortex beams' advances such as communication and quantum analogy. Conventional schemes are frustrated by low speed, complicated system, limited detection range. Here,…
The first successful detection of gravitational waves by ground-based observatories, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), marked a breakthrough in our comprehension of the Universe. However, due to the…
Organized Autotelescopes for Serendipitous Event Survey (OASES) is an optical observation project that aims to detect and investigate stellar occultation events by kilometer-sized trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). In this project, multiple…
The observation of gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences by LIGO and Virgo has begun a new era in astronomy. A critical challenge in making detections is determining whether loud transient features in the data are caused by…
Anomaly detection is a key goal of autonomous surveillance systems that should be able to alert unusual observations. In this paper, we propose a holistic anomaly detection system using deep neural networks for surveillance of critical…
The GAPS (Global Architecture of Planetary Systems) project is a, mainly Italian, effort for the comprehensive characterization of the architectural properties of planetary systems as a function of the host stars' characteristics by using…
Clouds play a critical role in the Earth's energy budget and their potential changes are one of the largest uncertainties in future climate projections. However, the use of satellite observations to understand cloud feedbacks in a warming…
