Internal Calibration of Astrononomical Photographs
نویسنده
چکیده
By applying the principle that all stellar image profiles should be identical apart from a scale change, we can derive a relative calibration for a photographic plate without use of calibration spots or other indirect means.

High-precision camera distortion measurements with a "calibration harp"
This paper addresses the high-precision measurement of the distortion of a digital camera from photographs. Traditionally, this distortion is measured from photographs of a flat pattern that contains aligned elements. Nevertheless, it is nearly impossible to fabricate a very flat pattern and to validate its flatness. This fact limits the attainable measurable precisions. In contrast, it is much...
متن کاملDigital elevation model and orthophotographs of Greenland based on aerial photographs from 1978–1987
Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) play a prominent role in glaciological studies for the mass balance of glaciers and ice sheets. By providing a time snapshot of glacier geometry, DEMs are crucial for most glacier evolution modelling studies, but are also important for cryospheric modelling in general. We present a historical medium-resolution DEM and orthophotographs that consistently cover the ...
متن کاملFacade Reconstruction of Destroyed Buildings Using Historical Photographs
ABSTRACT A methodology for the metric reconstruction of the planar surface of facades of destroyed buildings using historical single-view photographs has been presented in this work. The methodology is based on using a-priori object properties like linearity, parallelism, perpendicularity, symmetry etc. in addition to information extracted from the photographs. The methodology involves the dete...
متن کاملFree-form Acquisition of Shape and Appearance
This report focuses on the acquisition of shape and appearance of real objects under static illumination without the need for an elaborate calibration process or an expensive setup. Emphasis is placed on ease of use and obtaining visually pleasing results. Using recent advances in matting techniques, an opacity hull of the object is computed from an un-calibrated sequence of photographs. User i...
متن کاملNon-Invasive Detection of Anaemia Using Digital Photographs of the Conjunctiva.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Anaemia is a major health burden worldwide. Although the finding of conjunctival pallor on clinical examination is associated with anaemia, inter-observer variability is high, and definitive diagnosis of anaemia requires a blood sample. We aimed to detect anaemia by quantifying conjunctival pallor using digital photographs taken with a consumer camera and a popular smartphon...
