Cover Story: Skyglow is a form of light pollution caused by artificial light scattered back within the atmosphere. We found that skyglow is dramatically amplified by clouds and snow on the ground (higher albedo), which we term "snowglow". Measurements in a suburban area, where the Milky Way is visible during moonless clear nights, revealed a zenith luminance 1000 times brighter than a clear sky reference and 3500 times brighter than a cloudy sky reference. A horizontal illuminance of 0.79 lx, two times higher than the maximum possible full moon, was measured. This represents a very high level of ecological light pollution as information on lunar cycles will be masked in these conditions. Strategies on how to reduce "snowglow" are discussed.

General Type-2 Fuzzy Sugeno Integral for Edge Detection

  • Gabriela E. Martínez,
  • Claudia I. Gonzalez,
  • Olivia Mendoza and
  • Patricia Melin

A type-2 fuzzy edge detection method is presented in this paper. The general process consists of first obtaining the image gradients in the four directions—horizontal, vertical, and the two diagonals—and this technique is known as the mor...

A Finite-Difference Approach for Plasma Microwave Imaging Profilometry

  • Loreto Di Donato,
  • David Mascali,
  • Andrea F. Morabito and
  • Gino Sorbello

Plasma diagnostics is a topic of great interest in the physics and engineering community because the monitoring of plasma parameters plays a fundamental role in the development and optimization of plasma reactors. Towards this aim, microwave diagnost...

Artificial skyglow, the fraction of artificial light at night that is emitted upwards from Earth and subsequently scattered back within the atmosphere, depends on atmospheric conditions but also on the ground albedo. One effect that has not gained mu...

A Spectral Filter Array Camera for Clinical Monitoring and Diagnosis: Proof of Concept for Skin Oxygenation Imaging

  • Jacob Renzo Bauer,
  • Arnoud A. Bruins,
  • Jon Yngve Hardeberg and
  • Rudolf M. Verdaasdonk

The emerging technology of spectral filter array (SFA) cameras has great potential for clinical applications, due to its unique capability for real time spectral imaging, at a reasonable cost. This makes such cameras particularly suitable for quantif...
