Physical Modeling of Scientific Instruments
نویسنده
چکیده
This contribution revolves about computer models of astronomical instruments and their application in advanced calibration strategies and observation model based data analysis. The historical connection between calibration and data analysis is reviewed. The success of physical models in the analysis of observational data with strong instrumental signatures is shown, and a concept for model based calibration developed. A discussion of advantages for observatory operations, observing, pipeline processing, and data interpretation is accompanied by a briefing about the current status of the Observation Simulation and Instrument Modeling project at the ST-ECF and ESO.

متن کاملPhysical Modeling of Plucked String Instruments with Application to Real-Time Sound Synthesis*
An efficient approach for real-time synthesis of plucked string instruments using physical modeling and DSP techniques is presented. Results of model-based resynthesis are illustrated to demonstrate that high-quality synthetic sounds of several string instruments can be generated using the proposed modeling principles. Real-time implementation using a signal processor is described, and several ...
متن کاملThe Scientific Use of Technological Instruments
One of the most obvious ways in which the natural sciences depend on technology is through the use of instruments. This chapter presents a philosophical analysis of the role of technological instruments in science. Two roles of technological instruments in scientific practices are distinguished: their role in discovering and proving scientific theories, and their role in generating and investig...

In the present paper, we present the development of a framework of methodologies, which allow the creation of acoustic analysis, by woodwind musical instrument recordings corpora, as well as the implementation of virtual instruments, by physical modeling. We emphasize on traditional instruments, starting with the zournas. By analysis, acoustical aspects of the instrument are derived (attack-rel...
متن کاملInductively coupled probe for the measurement of partial discharges.
Partial discharges are a transient phenomena whose measurement is remarkably important for electrical equipment diagnosis and maintenance. These discharges appear in the measurement circuit as very narrow current pulses of some nanoseconds. Therefore, discharge pulse detection is a particularly difficult problem, especially because they are superposed on the high voltage waveforms that cause th...
