INRIA Collaboration
Project Fluminance with The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA)).
Since early 2010, the CSU Chico Atmospheric Lidar Research Group has been collaborating with French scientists Etienne Mémin, Patrick Héas, and Pierre Dérian to apply optical flow algorithms to the REAL images from CHATS. A first conference publication on the results will appear at the 25th International Laser Radar Conference.

Two-component horizontal vector motion fields produced by a Dense Motion Estimation algorithm were applied to REAL PPI scans collected during CHATS. Initial results of the collaboration are described in Derian et al. (2010).
