Meteor Network, Video Observation, Automatic Meteor Detection

Scientific paper

The German "Arbeitskreis Meteore" (AKM) group has been installing and operating a network of automated image-intensified video cameras since March 1999. It is based on the MetRec meteor detection and analysis software, which allows for efficient video observations with only a minimum of human interaction. It is the first network of video cameras ever than operates on a regular basis and collects large amounts of meteor data in the optical domain throughout the full year. As of June 2001, the network consists of ten stations. Further observers in Germany and abroad are preparing to join the effort, expanding the AKM network into a global one. All data are compiled into an archive that is freely accessible through the Internet. The video meteor database contains currently more than 32,000 single-station meteor records from over 500 observing nights.
