Analytic Support of the Phillips Lab Whole Sky Imager, 1997-2001

Abstract

During this time, repairs were performed as needed, and software upgrades were delivered. A means of providing a very accurate assignment of the angular location (in object space) of each pixel (in image space) was developed and delivered. A first generation night algorithm, for identifying the presence of clouds in a starlight image, was developed. Preliminary work toward extending these techniques toward determination of earth-to-space beam transmittance was begun, and is continuing under follow-on funding. This work has enabled the Air Force to continue many productive years of using the WSI in a variety of test-support scenarios.
