... Previous: Background Fluctuation Analysis from the Multiscale Entropy . ... A new measure of information is defined which is based on noise modeling and incorporates resolution scale. Properties of this measure are discussed. ... Additionally it allows for image noise modeling, and subsequent noise removal. ... Hence information- and entropy-based processing technologies will be necessary for the effective design and implementation of large, future generation, image databases. ...

... The material in "From Stargazers to Starships" meets several important requirements of the national standards. Pages cited below are from National Science Education Standards National Academy Press, Washington 1995. ... For example: the sections on astronomy not only describe calendars and sundials (including their construction), but also the astronomy of the ancient Greeks, including two different ways in which ancient Greeks estimated the distance to the Moon. ...

... The first step to improve the FORS calibration is therefore to obtain data to allow a computation of the illumination correction across the field. ... Another limitation on the calibration accuracy has been the brightness of the Landolt standards which have forced the use of extremely short exposures introducing small but non-negligible shutter-time errors and also resulting in a very small number of useful standards per frame. ...
