The CMS Electromagnetic crystal Calorimeter (ECAL) must be precisely calibrated if its full potential performance is to be realized. Inter-calibration from laboratory measurements and cosmic ray muons will be available for all crystals and has been demonstrated to give good pre-calibration values at the start-up; some crystals will be also inter-calibrated using an electron beam. In-situ calibr...

We present the calibration strategy for 20 kton liquid scintillator central detector of Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). By utilizing a comprehensive multiple-source and multiple-positional program, in combination with novel dual calorimetry technique exploiting two independent photosensors readout systems, we demonstrate that JUNO can achieve better than 1% energy linearity 3%...

This work summarizes the overall calibration strategy for WFPC2, covering the design of the observational programs as well as analysis of the results and their incorporation into the calibration pipeline. This strategy comprises routine long-term calibration monitoring programs, including darks, biases, flat fields, photometric and astrometric monitoring, as well as special calibration programs...

Building performance simulation is being increasingly deployed beyond the building design phase to support efficient building operation. Specifically, the predictive feature of the simulation-assisted building systems control strategy provides distinct advantages in view of building systems with high latency and inertia. Such advantages can be exploited only if model predictions can be relied u...

The calibration of a projector-camera system is an essential step toward accurate 3-D measurement and environment-aware data projection applications, such as augmented reality. In this paper we present a two-stage easy-to-deploy strategy for robust calibration of both intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of a projector. Two key components of the system are the automatic generation of projected li...

The MEDUSA camera system is a high resolution earth observation instrument designed to operate from a long endurance UAV flying at stratospheric altitudes. Due to the technical constraints imposed on the instrument regarding mass, power and dimensions, the MEDUSA instrument shall experience large temperature variations induced by its varying environment in which it is operated. The induced phys...

In multivariate calibrations usually a minimal residual error in the model’s predictions is aimed at, while generally less attention is paid to the robustness of the model with respect to changes in instrumentation, laboratory conditions, or sample composition. In this paper, we propose a strategy for selecting a multivariate calibration model which possesses a small prediction error and, simul...

In catchments characterized by spatially varying hydrological processes and responses, the optimal parameter values or regions of attraction in parameter space may differ with location-specific characteristics and dominating processes. This paper evaluates the value of semi-distributed calibration parameters for large-scale streamflow simulation using the spatially distributed LISFLOOD model. W...
