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?
