NASA's First Asteroid Grand Challenge - coding-

[AndyP]

Interesting coding challenge from NASA. $35,000 prize.

I've hilited the part that caught my eye in relation to Live Code.

'The Asteroid Data Hunter contest series challenges participants to develop significantly improved algorithms to identify asteroids in images captured by ground-based telescopes. The winning solution must increase the detection sensitivity, minimize the number of false positives, ignore imperfections in the data, and run effectively on all computer systems.'

Any takers?
