Profile Information
- Occupation:
- Aerospace Engineer
- Company:
- U.S. Air Force
- Areas of Interest (Robotics, Software Architecture, Green Energy, Web 2.0, etc.):
- Astrodynamics, Orbit Determination, Kalman Filtering, Data Fusion
- Software Language Proficiencies / Interests:
- Java, Python
- About Me:
- Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering Sciences from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Astrodynamicist with experience in estimation theory and data fusion methods. Expert in advanced Kalman filtering techniques. Substantial experience in orbit/attitude estimation by developing and implementing 6 degree of freedom sigma point filters to process a variety of data types. Particularly interested in all levels of data fusion and state/parameter estimation by non-linear methods, not necessarily as applied to celestial mechanics problems. Also interested in dynamic/observation model refinements via parameter estimation methods.
Member of the American Astronautical Society's (AAS) Space Flight Mechanics Technical Committee

Latest Activity
Tomas Martin-Mur (NASA-JPL) and I, in Toulouse, France, next to Ariane model
Too bad I missed it...perhaps when I get back to island.
Good to see folks getting together.
Cheers,
Moriba

I know it is short notice - but how about getting together for an early dinner tonight in Paia at Flatbread pizza at 6:00
When: Saturday, October 3rd: 6:00 PM
Where: FlatBread Pizza, Paia
Call me if you want to join and I will reserve a table. ( looks like 7 people so far...)

You're welcome and thanks. I would love to meet and exchange thoughts the next time I am back in Hawaii. I'll be sure to check in with you before then...thanks for the offer.
Aloha from L.A.,

I am a local boy and am a CG Artist in the visual effects field in L.A. I just wanted to introduce myself and share some thoughts. My primary skillset is matchmoving basically extracting 3D camera movement data from shot film frames to create a virtual 3D camera to match what was shot on set.
I believe it is sort of related to optical tracking techniques used in aerospace work but not as complicated nor is the software/methods as robust. Often we use multiple cameras to triangulate similar points in 3D space to get a more accurate position for the main camera. I felt that when the USS Lake Erie shot down that wayward satellite using data from the floating X Band Radar platform and other facilities, the concept was the same...but again, on a much more complex scale.
The software that I specialize in is pretty robust compared to its competitors. I have also used proprietary tracking software at a couple of larger studios where they create their own in-house systems. Much of the softwares' underlying math and algorithms were originally developed for military applications.
Thanks for reading and have a great week!
Francis
Let's talk to figure out what we can do!
Please give me email.

Thank you for sharing the great photos. Hau’oli Lanui!
