Modern Determination of Vertical Deflections Using Digital Zenith Cameras [PDF]
At the beginning of the 21st century, a significant technological change took place in geodetic astronomy. In Zurich and Hannover, digital zenith camera systems were developed based on digital imaging sensors (charge-coupled device) that strongly improved the degree of automation, efficiency, and accuracy of the observation of the direction of the ...

THE USE OF THE AUTOMATED DIGITAL ZENITH CAMERA SYSTEM IN ISTANBUL FOR THE DETERMINATION OF ASTROGEODETIC VERTICAL DEFLECTION [PDF]
The Digital Zenith Camera Systems (DZCSs) are dedicated astrogeodetic instruments used to obtain highly accurate astrogeodetic vertical deflection (VD) data. The first Turkish DZCS, the Astrogeodetic Camera System (ACSYS), was developed in Istanbul, Turkey in 2015.

Accuracy analysis of vertical deflection data observed with the Hannover Digital Zenith Camera System TZK2-D [PDF]
This paper analyses the accuracy of vertical deflection measurements carried out with the Digital Zenith Camera System TZK2-D, an astrogeodetic state-of-the-art instrumentation developed at the University of Hannover. During 107 nights over a period of 3.5 years, the system was used for repeated vertical deflection observations at a selected station in

Monitoring and analysis of anomalous refraction using a digital zenith camera system [PDF]
Context. Anomalous refraction is considered to be a limiting factor for ground-based astrometry in general and astrogeodetic observations in particular. Typical characteristics of anomalous refraction are basically known by means of spot-check-data, however the fluctuation is rather little studied. Aims.

Separating Surface Reflectance from Volume Reflectance in Medical Hyperspectral Imaging [PDF]
Hyperspectral imaging has shown great promise for diagnostic applications, particularly in cancer surgery. However, non-bulk tissue-related spectral variations complicate the data analysis. Common techniques, such as standard normal variate normalization,
