3D model of an instrument box
18 Aug 2021
Designed and 3D printed by: Daniel Kapusta, Bergen, Norway. @Kapusta.D
We have designed a new instrument box housing the iMet sensor for in flight observation from a paraglider. The box has a double roof to shield the sun’s radiation and an integrated button at the bottom to power the instrument. A cutout at the back end allows charging and data trasfer without extracting the instrument and risking damage to fragile sensors. The box mounts on a standard GoPro mount which makes it easy to place the instrument on a helmet and tilt it into the wind.
PG World Championship 2019
22 Jun 2021The 16th FAI Paragliding World Championships took place on 7 August 2019 in Krushevo, Macedonia. One hundred and fifty pilots from 48 nations competed for 12 days in the cross country competition. That means plenty of useful data for the analysis of atmospheric convection. Below, you can see the extracted thermals from the competition in an interactive 3D view. All the competition days are merged into a single dataset. I will extract the individual thermals at some later date. :)

Cedas Conference
07 Jun 2021The very first conference organised by the Centre for Data Science at the University of Bergen took place on the 1st and 2nd of June 2021 in Scandic Hotel in Bergen.
Our gLidar team was represented by two posters, one covering the measurement techniques, one dedicated to parameter space analysis of a convection model.
Here is the gLidar poster in pdf. Here is the parameter space poster in pdf.
