15 صفحه اولAstrometry in Wide-field Surveys
We present a robust and fast algorithm for performing astrometry and source cross-identification on two dimensional point lists, such as between a catalogue and an astronomical image, or between two images. The method is based on minimal assumptions: the lists can be rotated, magnified and inverted with respect to each other in an arbitrary way. The algorithm is tailored to work efficiently on ...
متن کاملIs case-ascertainment of Alzheimer's disease in field surveys practicable?
Research on Alzheimer's disease (AD) has recently burgeoned because of its public health importance and scientific opportunities. While biological investigations are energetically pursued and now carry considerable promise, clinical and epidemiological research may also have a contribution to make (Khachaturian, 1985). Such work may help in identifying subtypes of AD, in establishing its natura...
متن کاملUtilizing Repeated Gps Surveys from Field Operations
Topographic data collected using RTK‐DGPS‐equipped farm vehicles during field operations could add additional benefits to the original capital investment in the equipment through the development of high‐accuracy field DEMs. Repeated surveys of elevation data from field operations may improve DEM accuracy over time. However, minimizing the amount of data to be processed and stored is also an imp...
