The US National Park Service (NPS) assesses the night sky quality over parks by capturing a series of overlapping images to obtain a mosaic view of the entire night sky. The NPS Night Skies Program has integrated a sequence of scripts and…
Access to astronomical data through archives and VO is essential but does not solve all problems. Availability of appropriate software for analyzing the data is often equally important for the efficiency with which a researcher can publish…
In this paper we describe an unmanned aerial system equipped with a thermal-infrared camera and software pipeline that we have developed to monitor animal populations for conservation purposes. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach to tackle…
Fully automated astronomical data calibration and imaging pipelines are difficult to develop without a good prototyping method which permits to bridge the time between observatory commissioning and the moment when the special features and…
Modern astronomical data processing requires complex software pipelines to process ever growing datasets. For radio astronomy, these pipelines have become so large that they need to be distributed across a computational cluster. This makes…
A program that we call the QUEST Data Processing Software Pipeline has been written to process the large volumes of data produced by the QUEST camera on the Samuel Oschin Schmidt Telescope at the Palomar Observatory. The program carries out…
