ADEOS

Anomaly Detection and Observation System (ADEOS) is a system for detecting and observing unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The figure below shows the concept of a single observation station. It consists of various sensor systems and is to be controlled via a client-server architecture. One of the optical elements of the system is an all-sky camera in the visible wavelength range. Two test systems, SkyCAM-5 and SkyCAM-6, are currently being tested. Depending on the availability of resources, ADEOS will be expanded over time and operated at various locations.

Known objects such as birds, insects or helicopters are often detected in the camera's environment. These are detected and filtered out by a Convolutional Neural Network. The system will be extended by a numbner of additional elements and features in the future such as multiply sensors, tracking system etc.
