It is not a science fiction movie – it’s science. A new infrared chamber will explore the skies around us and hope to make discoveries out of this world (literally).
“The Galileo project is operating a Observatory of the whole sky at Harvard University. ”Thus announced Professor Avi Loeb to.
“Often US government data is classified, either because they have been collected by classified sensors or because they are not fully understood and may be potentially relevant to national security. If in doubt, data is not disclosed to the public or the scientific community. The sky is not secret“The investigator continues.
And that is why Harvard University is developing a new infrared machine that, using artificial intelligencewill look for signs of unidentified objects.
Researchers promise AidNaque are “building two other observatories in Pennsylvania and Nevada that are looking for anomalous objects in infrared, optic, radio and audio bands. detect about 100,000 objects per month each. The software is based on a You Only Look Once (Yolo) model for object detection and a Simple Online and RealTime Tracking (Sort) algorithm for trajectory reconstruction.
And the name of the mill until honors the science fiction series “Doctor Who”, premiered 1963 and already has 26 seasons – Already a classic between fans of the genre. The machine will be called “Dalek”, as it is physically very similar to the daleks, the breed of extraterrestrial mutants of the series.
“In the first five months of using the data referred to in this document, we studied half a million objects and evaluated our ability to classify them without distance information,” explains the researcher.
And in the future they say they want to “measure the distances of objects based on the triangulation of several spaced detectors in each observatory. This will allow us to determine the velocity and acceleration of various types of objects and clearly identify the anommals. ”
