Poster Session and Exhibit Venue
The poster session is an opportunity for authors to present their work and have in-depth discussions with conference participants during a dedicated two-hour session on the conference opening day. Poster display boards are arranged throughout a portion of the ballroom together with industry exhibits in a convivial setting with seating and light refreshments to encourage interaction with the poster authors. The venue is open throughout the week serving as a locus for side discussions and pop-up meetings.
Tutorials
MSSS/AMOS Overview
The Maui Space Surveillance System (MSSS), located at the summit of Haleakala, is a national resource providing support to various government agencies and the scientific community. The tutorial summarizes MSSS systems, capabilities, and support procedures and includes a description of the telescopes and sensors. It will also include a brief overview of the Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC).
Imaging Through Turbulence, Michael Roggemann, Michigan Technological University
A brief tutorial on the "forward problem" of image formation in the presence of atmospheric turbulence, and various strategies for mitigating the effects of turbulence on imaging systems. The talk begins with a brief review of the history of the field, followed by a discussion of the origins of turbulence. The optical effects of turbulence are then reviewed. Finally, mitigation strategies including speckle imaging, blind deconvolution, and adaptive optics are presented. This presentation is intended for an audience which already has some knowledge and experience in the imaging and image processing areas.
