The Switch 2's HDR implementation is flawed due to confusing UI and poor default settings, leading to washed-out images. Experts recommend enabling HGIG if supported, adjusting paper white and MaxTML settings, and following calibration tips to improve visual quality.
The Switch 2 supports HDR, but its complex and poorly explained calibration process can lead to washed-out graphics, making it difficult for users to optimize settings and fully enjoy improved visuals.
A DIY project describes creating a calibration target for electron microscopes by depositing gold nanoparticles on silicon slides, enabling precise calibration and repair of the microscope's resolution capabilities.
NASA's Perseverance rover is repeatedly photographing a tiny, intricate maze on a metallic calibration plate on Mars, which is part of the SHERLOC instrument used to search for signs of ancient life. The maze helps calibrate the rover's laser and imaging systems with high precision, and the plate also tests materials for future human missions, blending scientific purpose with hidden storytelling elements.
NASA's Perseverance rover repeatedly photographs a maze on its SHERLOC calibration target, which is used to calibrate its spectroscopic instruments for detecting organic compounds and minerals on Mars. The maze, made of chrome lines on silica glass, helps ensure precise laser focus and positioning, and features a Sherlock Holmes portrait as a fun nod and functional marker. The calibration target also includes materials for testing spacesuit durability and supporting science for future human exploration.
In Overwatch 2, a player was surprised to receive a significant rank progress despite not playing their main role in Competitive mode. The game's latest rank changes include a "soft reset" to players' MMR, leading to adjustments based on performance. The player's confusion was addressed in a Reddit thread, with some users explaining that the game's modifier "Calibration" is responsible for the unexpected rank progress when playing a different role, as it assesses uncertainty and aims to determine the player's true rank.
A low-cost CH32V003 MCU, lacking temperature measurement functionality, can be improvised to include a temperature sensor by measuring the drift between two internal clocks and using it to calibrate a temperature graph. By utilizing the automatic wake-up unit (AWU) and accessing the LSI clock source indirectly, a temperature plot was obtained, although the absolute accuracy of this method may vary per MCU. This crude temperature measurement solution could be sufficient for basic applications.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has developed an artificial star-like light source to test the optical performance of startrackers, which are used by spacecraft to determine their position in space. The test bench, located at ESA's ESTEC technical centre in the Netherlands, combines a rotating table with a single star simulator to simulate the light from a star. The purpose of this facility is to calibrate startrackers in terms of distortion, chromatic aberration, and other optical variables, aiding in spacecraft navigation.
