Life sciences video recording

Tadd T. Truscott: We have been working towards methods of determining the positions of birds in 3D space as they fly using our Synthetic Aperture imaging approach. Pigeons are particularly easy to film because we can trick them into coming in for food, and then scaring them. These preliminary videos help understand the potential this approach may have in determining the trajectory motion of these birds in space and time. Thanks to Kennedy Plaza for giving us permission to park there! Oh and thanks to all the local characters that kept asking us what we were doing hoping to get on television! Please enjoy these two videos.

NorPix would like to thank Mr. Daniel J. Gooding from the US Geological Survey for this contribution.
Mount St Helens located in the Cascades range in the State of Washington has been erupting since the Fall of 2004. A solid mass of dacite has been extruding to the surface for much of this period. To better understand the mechanics of this eruption new monitoring tools are being researched. Recording images near the vent to capture the developing growth of the emerging dome provides measurements of linear extrusion rates and helps investigate any possible correlations with seismicity, and/or ground deformation.
The current setup is using a Sony SX-XCD 910 camera, Matrox 4Slight with StreamPix digital recording software. The system operates by turning itself on at 8:00 am and shuts down at 6:00 pm (PST). StreamPix is set to record one image per minute and stores the data on a portable 120 gigabit hard drive using a FireWire connection. StreamPix interfaces to a GPS clock that grabs the date/time for microsecond accuracy and saves the data to disk in the header of each image.
The system works on battery power (12 volts) using four 100 amps wet cell batteries which are charged by two 7 amp rated output solar panels .
