1. Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Observatory Automation Project: Audio and Video Management Project by: Amber Imai Mentors: Tom Vermeulen & Bill Cruise Advisor: Sarah Gajadhar Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Home Institution: University of Hawaii at Manoa University of California Santa Cruz, Center for Adaptive Optics (CfAO) Akamai Internship Program, Summer 2008

2. Overview OAP Design/Objective My Role in the OAP Work in Progress Concluding Statements

3. OAP Objective (adapted from the OAP Detailed Design, Audio and Video) Technical Advances and Observatory Efficiency No One at Summit Easier Work Environment Mechanical Failure Solution: –Need to monitor and remotely control observatory systems –Can be done through sensors, programmable logic controllers, and WEBCAMS

4. What is in Progress for the OAP Software Infrastructure Remote Control of Mirror Cover and Cooling Systems, Telescope Control System, and Dome Shutter (to name a few) AUDIO and VIDEO MONITORING

5. My Role in the Project Creating the Audio Video Recording Server –Learn and Understand Linked Lists, Pointers, Arrays, Strings, and Forked Processes Learn about Axis webcams –Axis 214 –Axis 207

6. AV Server Flowchart

7. Real Time Video

8. Time Lapse Video

9. Work in Progress Addition of more cameras Updating the camera webpage Other sections of the OAP Fully Remote Observing

10. Concluding Statements The OAP now has a specially designed server that will record and manage it’s space Store data for approximately 1 week AV Server COMPLETE!
