BeppoSAX LECS background subtraction techniques
We present 3 methods for the subtraction of non-cosmic and unresolved cosmic backgrounds observed by the Low-Energy Concentrator Spectrometer (LECS) on-board BeppoSAX. Removal of these backgrounds allows a more accurate modeling of the spectral data from point and small-scale extended sources. At high (>|25|) galactic latitudes, subtraction using a standard background spectrum works well. At lo...
متن کاملThe medium - energy concentrator spectrometer on boardthe
The scientiic instrumentation on board the X-ray Astronomy Satellite BeppoSAX includes a Medium Energy Concentrator Spectrometer (MECS), operating in the energy range 1.3?10 keV, which consists of three units, each composed of a grazing incidence Mirror Unit and of a position sensitive Gas Scintillation Proportional Counter. The design and performance of the MECS instrument are here described, ...
متن کاملBackground Subtraction Techniques
Background subtraction is a commonly used class of techniques for segmenting out objects of interest in a scene for applications such as surveillance. This paper surveys a representative sample of the published techiques for background subtraction, and analyses them with respect to three important attributes: foreground detection; background maintenance; and postprocessing.
متن کاملNew approach to background subtraction in low-energy neutrino experiments
We discuss a new method to extract neutrino signals in low-energy experiments. In this scheme the symmetric nature of most backgrounds allows for direct cancellation from data. The application of this technique to the Palo Verde reactor neutrino oscillation experiment allows us to reduce the measurement errors on the antineutrino flux from ;20% to ;10%. We expect this method to substantially im...
متن کاملMoving Object Recognition Using Background Subtraction and Image Processing Techniques
A visual prosthesis that applies electrical stimulation to different parts of the visual pathway has been proposed as a viable approach to restore functional vision. However, the created percept is currently limited due to the low-resolution images elicited from a limited number of stimulating electrodes. Thus, methods to optimize the visual precepts providing useful visual information are bein...
