  (PC: weather.com) A group of researchers is using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to calibrate NASA’s images of the Sun. For over a decade, NASA’s Solar Dynamic Observatory provided high-definition images of the Sun. The Atmospheric Imagery Assembly or AIA is one of the two imaging instruments on SDO that continuously looks at the Sun, capturing images across 10 wavelengths of ultraviolet light every 12 seconds. Even though this provides useful information, the AIA or similar Sun-staring instruments degrade over time, and data needs to be frequently calibrated. To overcome this drawback, scientists decide to look for other techniques to calibrate the instrument. Machine learning was a perfect solution. With the help of this technique, it can recognize a solar flame without degradation. The algorithm helps understand how much degradation is affecting AIA’s current images and how much calibration is needed. To know more details, click this link .

  (PC: adsknews.autodesk.com) Autodesk recently announced the commercial availability of its digital twin platform, Autodesk Tandem. An FMI report has recently revealed that close to 95 percent of all the data is unused in engineering and construction, causing inefficient processes and revenue loss for all AEC firms and owners. "Autodesk Tandem is a cloud-based digital twin technology platform that aims to turn that stat on its head," said Bob Bray, senior director, and general manager, Autodesk Tandem. "It enables projects to start digital, stay digital, and deliver digital, transforming rich data into business intelligence." This digital twin platform can collect all information about a building, its systems, and critical equipment in tabular and 3D representations. Building operators and facilities managers can find what they are looking for in case of operational issues for proper maintenance. To know more details, click this link

(PC: itweb.co.za) Fujitsu has started the development and deployment of the system that connects the artificial intelligence track cameras, increasing safety at the Nuerburgring racetrack. The initial plan is for 2.8 km of the Nordschleife track section, where only radio contact with the marshals has ensured safety. In case artificial intelligence detects a potential issue, relevant triggers are sent to RaceControl and, oncoming traffic is provided via trackside displays. The Nordschleife track is the most famous track of the Nuerburgring’s two racetracks. It is a 20.8 km track, having a total of 73 turns that also includes blind corners, drops, and significant elevation changes. The Fujitsu solution is based on cameras set up by Nuerburgring that are connected to RaceControl via fiber optic cables. Fujitsu is developing an AI-based system to monitor all the video feeds in real-time and detect potential dangers where any.  To know more details, click this link
