AbstractClusters and groups of galaxies contain the majority of galaxies in the universe. The rich clusters, while less numerous than the many poor groups, are the densest and largest systems known, and can be easily recognized and studied even at relatively large distances. Their study is important for understanding the formation and evolution of clusters and galaxies, and for a determination of the large-scale structure in the universe.

It is very important to study the large-scale structure by means of the space distribution of quasars. Using this method, one may search for the more distant superclusters and explore the super-large-scale structure, i.e., the existence of super-superclusters. The answer to the problem would be of great interest. It is related to the question about the transition of the clustering of galaxies on about 100 Mpc to the uniformity of the universe. Recently Oort et al and de Ruiter et al suggested that the quasars are located in superclusters. So we soppose that analysing the space distribution of quasars might give us some information about the super-large-scale structure of the universe. But up to the present the study of the clustering of quasars has not obtained universally accepted conclusions; in fact, some of them, including grouping and clustering (Arp; Chu and Zhu), no clustering (Chu and Zhu; Osmer; Webster), clustering for z < 2 and no clustering for z > 2 (Fang et al) and stringing (Deng et al), are contradictory.

All relevant key techniques involved in photogrammetric vision metrology for fully automatic 3D measurement of large-scale structure are studied. A new kind of coded target consisting of circular retroreflective discs is designed, and corresponding detection and recognition algorithms based on blob detection and clustering are presented. Then a three-stage strategy starting with view clustering is proposed to achieve automatic network orientation. As for matching of noncoded targets, the concept of matching path is proposed, and matches for each noncoded target are found by determination of the optimal matching path, based on a novel voting strategy, among all possible ones. Experiments on a fixed keel of airship have been conducted to verify the effectiveness and measuring accuracy of the proposed methods.

Determination of the large-scale structure of flare-produced disturbances requires either multiple spacecraft observations or an ensemble averaging of single spacecraft observations of a number of events. There is currently some confusion in the results of studies of shock normals derived from spacecraft data. Chao and Lepping (1974) suggest that the average shock shape near 1 AU is essentially spherical while Bavassano et al. (1973) suggest that the disturbance corresponds closely to the shapes predicted in the numerical simulations of de Young and Hundhausen (1971).
