Synchronized Line-Scan Lidar/Eo Imager For Creating 3d Images Of Dynamic Scenes: Prototype Ii, Donald C. Anderton
Synchronized Line-Scan Lidar/Eo Imager For Creating 3d Images Of Dynamic Scenes: Prototype Ii, Donald C. Anderton
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
A second prototype integrated lidar/Electro Optical (EO) camera, or 3D Texel™ camera, has been developed by Utah State University (USU) Center for Advanced Imaging Ladar (CAIL) that collocates, both temporally and spatially, a CMOS digital camera readout with a time-of-flight pulsed lidar1. The first prototype uses a flying spot lidar with a double gimbal whereas this prototype uses a single gimbal and rotating mirror. The selection and design of the second prototype hardware components: lidar, EO camera, computer, synchronization box, power source (AC to DC and battery box) and battery charger is discussed and compared with the first prototype. The …
Electronics Design Of The Aglite-Lidar Instrument, Scott S. Cornelsen
Electronics Design Of The Aglite-Lidar Instrument, Scott S. Cornelsen
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
The AGLITE-LIDAR instrument is a three-wavelength lidar system being designed and constructed at the Space Dynamics Laboratory under contract from the Agricultural Research Service. Its purpose is to implement a novel new approach to making measurements of gas and particulate pollutants released into the atmosphere by agricultural operations. Once operational, it will provide a means whereby the total flux of pollutants being emitted by agricultural facilities might be measured. This approach is valid even for facilities that may cover several acres. The design of the AGLITE instrument consists of a myriad of different components that are brought together in a …
Calibration And Results Of The Equis Ii Plasma Impedance Probe (Pip), Seth D. Humphries
Calibration And Results Of The Equis Ii Plasma Impedance Probe (Pip), Seth D. Humphries
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This thesis presents the calibration process and analysis results for the two Plasma Impedance Probe (PIP) units that were flown as part of the NASA Equis-I I campaign from the Kwajalein Atoll. The work of calibration that was presented by Krishna Kurra for the PIP on the Floating Potential Measurement Unit (FPMU) is improved and extended herein. The sweeping impedance probe (SIP), the instrument formerly known as plasma sweeping probe (PSP), is an integral part of the PIP. For the SIP, the calibration presented in this work, calibration error less than 5% error is achieved. The calibration is applied to …
