| Home page: | WIPP TRANSPARENCY PROJECT
Material Monitoring System Click on Continue to go to "Real Time". |
| Real Time: | This page shows the latest video image 655 m underground and an artist's cut-away drawing of the overall site near Carlsbad, NM. WIPP will receive about 2000 shipments between 1999 and 2034. |
| Status: | Most recent Images and Events
are summarized here.
Images: If the "Triggering Device" for the Image indicates "NTVision", there may be a series of video images available. You can play these as a movie by double-clicking on the image. (Some proxy servers may not allow this player to operate.) Events: Periodic data from the underground and surface environmental sensors display here. These update automatically. |
| Devices: | This listing enumerates the sensors and their respective functions. The current emphasis is on environmental quantities. Many types of sensors could be added, providing opportunities for cooperative development and testing of monitoring devices to serve the transparency needs of various organizations in the back end of the fuel cycle |
| Calendar: | The calendar displays
the current month. Active days are hyperlinks to the information for that
day. Green balls indicate days with routine "State of Health" (SOH) signals
from the sensors. These are simply periodic transmissions. The red balls
indicate "Events", when a change of condition will cause the sensor to
send a new signal. If there was a need, any of the sensors could be programmed
to trigger a sequence of images; currently, only a scene change in the
camera triggers an image sequence.
You can access different months using the forward and backward arrows at the top right corner. |
| Event Count: | This table summarizes the system activity for each day in the current month. The dates are hyperlinks to the record for the respective day. The number of images varies each day according to actual image changes. The number of Events can be very large because of the continual stream of State of Health messages from the sensors, even when nothing has actually happened. |
| Events: | Clicking on a day on the Calendar page brings you to this summary of events. Time, sensor identification and data value are displayed. You may have to scroll down the page to find a video image. Some images have "Movies" - extended sequences of images - double click on the image for a display. |
| Images: | This is a summary
of all of the images for a given day. Each time a camera is triggered by
activity in its field of view the camera will take a sequence of frames.
Click on an image to see a sequence display. This insert will show you the image before the activity started (upper left), the first triggered image (upper right), the final image in the sequence (lower right), and the difference between the initial and final images (lower left). The final comparison is a powerful tool to enable the viewer to detect changes in complex scenes. If activity in the camera's field of vision persists for a long time, a series of sequences will continue to track the activity. Each sequence times out after a programmed number of images (30-60, for example). |
| Filter: | This tool allows the viewer to select the data of interest. For example, the viewer may not be interested in State of Health messages, or may only be interested in NTVision camera images or humidity changes. |
