 +**If you are interested in a Master Thesis at the Chair of  Experimental Meteorology (Mayer) please contact the professors  ([[bernhard.mayer@lmu.de|Bernhard Mayer]], [[mark.wenig@lmu.de|Mark Wenig]]) or lecturers directly. We always have a number of exciting, timely and relevant topics.**
 +
 +[[bernhard.mayer@lmu.de|Bernhard Mayer]]'s group develops remote sensing techniques for clouds and aerosol from research aircraft and from the roof platform of the institute using lidar, radar, and imaging spectrometers. We also work on improved parameterizations of clouds in numerical weather forecast and climate models and on forward operators for data assimilation. For these applications we develop radiative transfer models. 
 +
 +[[mark.wenig@lmu.de|Mark Wenig]]'s group focuses on the remote sensing of air pollutants to further the understanding of the anthropogenic impact on the environment, the climate system, and the atmospheric composition. The research activities include differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) measurements for air pollution monitoring, radiative transfer modelling, chemical transport simulations and digital image processing.

 +==== Estimation of visibility from image sequences ====
 +{{ :lsmayer:cam_vis.jpg?300|}}
 +
 +In this project image sequences have to be analyzed in order to derive visibility range information. Different landmarks at different distances from the camera, e.g. high-rise building or church spires, can be used to derive optical parameters that depend on the visibility. Those parameters could be the local variability or the difference of the intensity of the object compared to the view in the sky close to the object, and can be compared to aerosol optical depths that have been measured at the same time.
 +
 +The project includes the following steps:
 +  - Automatic adjustment of the images from the sequence in case the camera shifted
 +  - Chose useful objects in the field of view
 +  - Determine intensity differences between objects and the sky
 +  - Derive local structure parameters, e.g. local variability
 +  - Explore further optical parameters using digital image processing operators
 +  - Analysis of the dependency of the derived parameters on aerosol optical depths measured independently
 +  - Simulation of the optical parameters using a radiative transfer model and comparison with parameters derived from the image sequence
 +  - Installation of more cameras and implementation of a real-time evaluation
