Remote Head Camera White Pages and Case Studies

1. Optical Components For SWIR Imaging 7/8/2019

   This application note provides information on the benefits of SWIR imaging in harsh or low-light conditions and PG&O's capabilities in manufacturing optical components for SWIR imaging.

2. Urban Heat Island Characterization With Airborne Thermal Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging 11/19/2015

   This application note discusses how to efficiently characterize urban heat islands using airborne TIR hyperspectral imaging, and to better understand their relationship with man-made materials.

3. Standoff Midwave Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging Of Ship Plumes 8/5/2015

   Characterization of ship plumes is very challenging due to the great variety of ships, fuel, and fuel grades, as well as the extent of a gas plume. In this work, imaging of ship plumes from an operating ferry boat was carried out using standoff midwave (3-5 m) infrared hyperspectral imaging. Quantitative chemical imaging of combustion gases was achieved by fitting a radiative transfer model. Combustion efficiency maps and mass flow rates are presented for carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The results illustrate how valuable information about the combustion process of a ship engine can be successfully obtained using passive hyperspectral remote sensing imaging.

4. Material Deformation Kinematics Captured By High-Speed Digital Cameras at 10,000 Frames Per Second 6/8/2015

   This case study describes a study on material deformation using the high-speed camera FASTCAM SA4.

5. 3D Printing Technologies For Prototyping And Production 5/8/2015

   Today’s products are designed to be manufactured in thousands or hundreds of thousands, and both parts and assembled products can be built and tested throughout the development process.

6. Clear The Air: New Optical Filters For Sensors And Detectors 4/2/2015

   Our world is increasingly monitored with sensors and detectors measuring things like air quality and IoT. Discover how this technology helps us better understand and interact with our environment.

7. Designing A New Optical Projection Device For Military Pilots 3/25/2015

   When the Department of Defense decided its landscape flight simulators to train pilots required too large a display, too large an enclosure space, and felt a bit antiquated in general, the DoD looked for a helmet –mounted simulation solution to replace the traditional rear-projection screens they were using.

8. Utilizing Inkjet Coating Technology For Optics And Injection Molded Parts 11/5/2014

   This case study explains how Carclo developed an inexpensive, one-sided, anti-scratch coating resistant to UV light, abrasion, solvents, and chemicals that could be applied to a customer’s optics without having a negative impact on its optical properties.

9. How To Assess Thermal Camera Range For Site Design 10/17/2014

   When laying out a site design for surveillance using currently marketed uncooled thermal cameras, it is important to understand the coverage capability of the cameras under evaluation in terms of field of view and range. 

10. Avalanche Photodiodes For LIDAR Applications 3/11/2014

    Avalanche Photodiodes (APD)  are ideal for laser-based distance measurement, laser scanning and mapping, shape recognition and remote sensing, as well as LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). APDs also excel in applications with very low optical signal strength or with high modulation frequencies.
