Been following the replication efforts and wanted to share some things that might save time. I spent a few months building an independent reimplementation of the Solano et al. (2022) pipeline from scratch, and separately had a colleague run... -

I got some of the code running and experimented with visualizing the filtering. What the pipeline is doing is finding all the blobs of light in the planes, and then rejecting ones that are known stars or that don't look like points of light...

MonkeeSage reacted to Nemon's post in the thread Rep. Luna Requests UAP Video, With a List of Names. with Informative.
Thanks - I was implicitly referring to this scheme as well: the D‑C‑R‑I scheme (Detection, Classification, Recognition, Identification). This appears to be the quasi‑official version used by the DoD / US Army since 2005. It is definitely worth...

We have a rich vocabulary, there's no reason to keep using sloppy terms, several alternatives are already in use. I quite like the D/R/I and D/R/C/I distinctions in imaging, most used now in surveilance of humans, but aerial phenomena seem to...

The subtle (or not so subtle, depending on who you are) difference between "it is unexplained" and "it is inexplicable" can be played upon with some success by promoters of various flavors of Woo. You have to give it a bit of thought to realize...

Hello, You may call me Onyx. The best way I can describe myself as a transhumanist, futurist, amateur 3D modeler, a writer, and a wannabe scientist/physicist/astronomer. I’ve had an interest in the topic of extraterrestrials and ETI for a very...

MonkeeSage reacted to FatPhil's post in the thread AI videos are getting very good. How do we detect their trickery? with Like.
That was probably the most egregious bit he left in (knowingly, as he admits). Other nonsenses were a kick to the chest leaving the victim's shirt all bloodied, and of course all of the smears of blood on the screens that made no physical sense...
