The goals of the Sky Hub Science đŦ Advisory Board are two fold:
Develop testing parameters and methodologies to allow for the highest quality data to be obtained from Sky Hub trackers and other sources
Develop data analysis methodologies and structures to assist in the use of collected data
To that end, the understanding of the current state of the art in fields related to the stated goals of Sky Hub are paramount. The Science Advisory Board will require significant expertise and knowledge to make the best case for the technology being deployed, as well as understand the results of these investigations. The scientific and engineering needs of Sky Hub can broadly be categorized in the following fashion:
Enclosure Space design and analysis
Design of enclosure to limit interference and noise
Ergonomic considerations and ease of build for users
Determination of feasibility of in house build and deployment for end user purchase
Sensor Design, Choice, and Protection
Calibration
Troubleshooting
Usage and limitations
Analysis of data and result output
Data integration and Output
Software deployment and build
Collection and filtering of data
Back end analytical methods on data
Output methods for data
QA and Error Propagation minimization
Initial Data Analysis and Output
Scope analysis of data usage and limitations
Output of data in a usable way, e.g. conversion of vector output from video analysis to speeds, accelerations, etc.
Error limitations and error propagation minimization
Data Application
Development of hypotheses of interest
Development of methods to limit false positives, and ease categorization of data in-situ
Science communication and deployment to public
