FLEX/S3 Tandem Mission Performance Assessment: Evolution of the End-to-End Simulator Flex-E
2018
An End-to-end simulator (E2ES) is a tool to evaluate the performance of a satellite mission. Once a mission is approved for operation, E2ES evolves during Phase C/D to become a supporting tool for the development and validation of the ground data processor, as well as for simulating data sets to test the Prototype and Operational Processors. FLEX-E is the E2ES of the FLEX/Sentinel-3 tandem mission, which was selected in 2015 as ESA's eighth Earth Explorer. The FLEX-E evolution implies the consolidation of all the retrieval algorithms (e.g. fluorescence, reflectance, biophysical variables), the implementation of new scientific developments, as well the improvement of the co-registration proc…
Panel Discussion on Trends in Optical and Radio Data Analysis
1985
Albrecht: What I want to do is to give a brief five-minute introduction to the subject, justifying the title which puts optical and radio astronomy in one and the same category, which I believe it is, as far as data analysis is concerned, and then I will ask the panel members to give us two-minute statements of their opinions on the subject and then I would like to ask the audience to fire questions at us.
Acquisition, filtering and toll data processing system for obtaining origin-destination matrix and travel times on highways
2012
This paper presents an acquisition, filtering and real-time toll data processing system that provides a base for resolution and generation of studies and models of behavior on highways. Crossing points estimation, speed calculation, study traffic flow, travel time estimation and stopping points can also be provided. The complexity of processing with supplied data volume makes indispensable a less relevant information filtering. This filtering can be done through indicators such as speed or nullity of fields and a performance improvement job in database level using views, materializations, partitioning and parallelism. A web application called MODA has been developed. This application make e…
Review: Highlights in recent applications of electronic tongues in food analysis
2010
This paper examines the main features of modern electronic tongues (e-tongues) and their most important applications in food analysis in this new century. The components of an e-tongue (automatic sampler, array of chemical sensors, and data processing system) are described. Applications commented include process monitoring, freshness evaluation and shelf-life investigation, authenticity assessment, foodstuff recognition, quantitative analysis, and other quality control studies. Finally, some interesting remarks concerning the strengths and weaknesses of e-tongues in food analysis are also mentioned.
Structural Health Monitoring Procedure for Composite Structures through the use of Artificial Neural Networks
2015
In this paper different architectures of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for structural damage detection are studied. The main objective is to investigate an ANN able to detect and localize damage without any prior knowledge on its characteristics so as to serve as a real-time data processor for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems. Two different architectures are studied: the standard feed-forward Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) and the Radial Basis Function (RBF) ANNs. The training data are given, in terms of a Damage Index ℑD, properly defined using a piezoelectric sensor signal output to obtain suitable information on the damage position and dimensions. The electromechanical respon…
Autonomous on-board data processing and instrument calibration software for the SO/PHI
2018
The extension of on-board data processing capabilities is an attractive option to reduce telemetry for scientific instruments on deep space missions. The challenges that this presents, however, require a comprehensive software system, which operates on the limited resources a data processing unit in space allows. We implemented such a system for the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) on-board the Solar Orbiter (SO) spacecraft. It ensures autonomous operation to handle long command-response times, easy changing of the processes after new lessons have been learned and meticulous book-keeping of all operations to ensure scientific accuracy. This contribution presents the requirements a…
Network Virtualization Based on Effective Packet Transformations
2015
Promocijas darbā ir piedāvātas divas oriģinālas tehnoloģijas, kas paaugstina datortīklu virtualizēšanas efektivitāti: ZERO tunelēšanas protokols, un Pakešu Transformāciju Valoda (Packet Transformation Language, PTL), kas ļauj kompaktā pierakstā formāli aprakstīt ZERO un citus tunelēšanas protokolus. Darbā ir piedāvāts Ethernet-pāri-IP tunelēšanas protokols, kas nodala visus Ethernet kadrus tunelēšanai NICE un UGLY kadros. UGLY kadri tiek tunelēti ar tradicionālām metodēm, kā UDP vai GRE enkapsulācija, kas būtiski palielina kopējo paketes garumu dēļ papildus galvenēm un fragmentēšanas, kas parasti nepieciešama, lai transportētu garus Ethernet kadrus pāri IP datortīklam, kam parasti maksimāla…
Metadata-based Personalization in Data Warehouses
2015
Lielā datu noliktavās uzkrāto datu un atskaišu apjoma dēļ, atskaišu izpilde un pārlūkošana var būt nogurdinoša un laikietilpīga. Turklāt, lietotājs ir visai ierobežots savu vēlmju izteikšanā kvalitatīvāku rezultātu iegūšanai (arī komerciālos datu noliktavu atskaišu rīkos). Taču, ir jēga veikt eksperimentus personalizācijas iespēju jomā, kuru mērķis būtu lietotāja vajadzībām atbilstošu datu sniegšana, jo datu noliktavu personalizācijas pētījumi šobrīd ir attīstības stadijā. Pēc veiktā esošo datu noliktavu personalizācijas pieeju salīdzinājuma, pētījums tika attīstīts atskaišu rekomendāciju jomā, kurš balstās uz tiešā vai netiešā veidā iegūtiem lietotāja iestatījumiem par datu noliktavas shēm…
Legri Instrument Health. A Historical Review
2001
LEGRI has been operating successfully on MINISAT-01 since its switch-on the 22nd of May 1997. HouseKeeping (HK) data have been continuously received for nearly two years by LEGRI SOC in Valencia, and subsequently checked on a daily basis and then stored for long term monitoring analysis. LEGRI HouseKeeping data include three critical operating parameters: temperature, power and polarisation voltages. Six temperature sensors are spread over the different LEGRI units: Detector Unit, Data Processing Unit, High Voltage Unit and Star Sensor. Voltages are measured at eight different points. Detector Unit temperature and polarisation voltage are the critical parameters for LEGRI operation. Solid s…
Legri Science Operation Center. Architecture and Operations
2001
The LEGRI Science Operation Center (SOC) is the single contact point between the MINISAT-01 Centro de Operaciones Cientificas (COC) located at Villafranca del Castillo (Madrid) and the LEGRI Consortium. Its architecture, operational procedures and associated software has been developed at the Universities of Valencia and Birmingham on the scope to define a integrated Data Analysis System, able to perform the daily follow-up of the instrument health, raw data files decompression and archiving activities (on-line and historical). Pointing and telecommand files generation are also SOC responsibilities. The aim of this paper is to report the SOC activities during the two years of LEGRI operatio…
