Automated, on-board terrain analysis for precision landings

Advances in space robotics technology hinge to a large extent upon the development and deployment of sophisticated new vision-based methods for automated in-space mission operations and scientific survey. To this end, we have developed a new concept for automated terrain analysis that is based upon a generic image enhancement platform—multi-scale retinex (msr) and visual servo (vs) processing. ...

Crop duster aviation mechanics: high risk for pesticide poisoning.

A cross-sectional medical survey was conducted among 63 Nicaraguan aviation mechanics exposed to organophosphate and other toxic pesticides.
