Calibration of an Autonomous Instrument for Monitoring Light Pollution from Drones

Calibration of an Autonomous Instrument for Monitoring Light Pollution from Drones

The paper presents the calibration activity on the imaging system of the MINLU instrument, an autonomous sensor suite designed for monitoring light pollution using commercial off-the-shelf components. The system is extremely compact and with an overall mass below 3 kg can be easily installed as a pa...
