Abstract Over a period of several years, the American Meteor Society, Ltd. (AMS) has developed a custom hardware and software system for capturing, reducing, solving and permanently storing meteor event data along with all-important corroborating video media from which high accuracy and reliable information can be gleaned. The connected hardware and software developed for trajectory analysis up to this point has utilized mainly open source materials and steadily matured into a modern, online system with wide international connections through “live” internet interactions between the various camera stations. Some critical software components and algorithms used by our system for the astrometric calibration of the cameras as well as trajectory and orbit solving have been developed by Denis Vida and provided through his RMS (Raspberry Pi Meteor Station) and WMPL (Western Meteor Python Library) open-source projects. These routines and solvers are currently integrated into the AMS routine workflow along with some others from the open or published literature. A continuing check of our computational integrity during the rather difficult atmospheric trajectory stage is obtained by “back” solving those relatively rare concurrent events where there has been camera detection overlap with those objects formally published by other networks and available openly online. The trajectory part of the solution is the most difficult part of the process to automate and verify with a minimum of human intervention and so that part of the entire computational process is still in beta testing. On the other hand, the strongly autonimous computation of going from meteor trajectory to orbital elements through our version of WMPL has been tested against the listed online orbital elements derived with the same trajectory information (URL here) and is discussed in some detail statistically. We are continuing to search for instrumental causes and possible remediation of trajectory characterization faults and errors whether between stations or between individual cameras before we move our system out of the current beta testing phase.

摘要 在几年的时间里，美国流星协会 (AMS) 开发了一种定制的硬件和软件系统，用于捕获、减少、解决和永久存储流星事件数据以及所有重要的确证视频媒体并且可以收集到可靠的信息。迄今为止，为轨迹分析开发的连接硬件和软件主要利用开源材料，并通过各个摄像站之间的“实时”互联网交互，稳步成熟为具有广泛国际连接的现代在线系统。我们的系统用于摄像机天体测量校准以及轨迹和轨道求解的一些关键软件组件和算法由 Denis Vida 开发，并通过他的 RMS（Raspberry Pi Meteor Station）和 WMPL（Western Meteor Python 库）开放-源项目。这些例程和求解器目前与公开或已发表文献中的其他一些例程和求解器一起集成到 AMS 例程工作流程中。在相当困难的大气轨迹阶段，我们的计算完整性的持续检查是通过“反向”解决那些相对罕见的并发事件来获得的，在这些事件中，相机检测与其他网络正式发布并在线公开可用的对象重叠。解决方案的轨迹部分是流程中最难以最少人工干预进行自动化和验证的部分，因此整个计算过程的一部分仍处于 beta 测试阶段。另一方面，通过我们的 WMPL 版本从流星轨迹到轨道元素的强自主计算已经针对使用相同轨迹信息（此处为 URL）导出的列出的在线轨道元素进行了测试，并进行了一些详细的统计讨论。在我们将我们的系统移出当前的 beta 测试阶段之前，我们将继续寻找工具原因和可能的补救轨迹特征故障和错误，无论是在站点之间还是在单个摄像机之间。
