Students at New College of Florida’s Applied Data Science masters program joined the world-wide effort in analyzing data collected from cameras watching the night skies. Known as CAMS (Cameras for Allsky Meteor Surveillance), the effort is aimed at detecting meteors in the night sky through the use of data collected from multiple cameras watching night-time sky activity. Building on work initiated in 2017 by the Frontier Development Lab to automate the process and build a data processing pipleline, two student teams developed two new pipelines.
