  1. Infrared Digital Holography Allows Firefighters To See Through Flames, Image Moving People 2/26/2013

    Firefighters put their lives on the line in some of the most dangerous conditions on Earth. One of their greatest challenges, however, is seeing through thick veils of smoke and walls of flame to find people in need of rescue.

  2. New Imaging Device That Is Flexible, Flat, And Transparent 2/20/2013

    Digital cameras, medical scanners, and other imaging technologies have advanced considerably during the past decade. Continuing this pace of innovation, an Austrian research team has developed an entirely new way of capturing images based on a flat, flexible, transparent, and potentially disposable polymer sheet.

  3. Early Non-Invasive Visualisation And Characterisation Of Vascular Disease 2/20/2013

    As well as allowing us to image the world around us, the eye offers clinicians a deep and immediate insight into the condition of our vasculature. Abnormalities in the retinal vasculature have been correlated with a diverse range of conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, migraine, and glaucoma, and several techniques have become established to measure blood flow in the human retina.

  4. FLIR Introduces New Compact Thermal Imaging Test Kits For Research, Development, And Machine Vision Applications 2/20/2013

    FLIR Systems, Inc. introduces its new FLIR A5sc, A15sc, and A35sc longwave infrared thermal imaging camera kits.

  5. Motorised Filter Wheel Extends Thermal Imaging Capabilities 2/19/2013

    The FLIR X8000sc / X6000sc thermal imaging camera series contains a 4-slot motorized filter wheel with automatic filter recognition and measurement parameter adjustment. The removable filter holders also contain an integrated temperature probe for improved measurement accuracy.

  6. Shedding New Light On Infant Brain Development 2/18/2013

    A new study by Columbia Engineering researchers finds that the infant brain does not control its blood flow in the same way as the adult brain. The findings, which the scientists say could change the way researchers study brain development in infants and children, are published in the February 18 Early Online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

  7. An Insight Into Eye Tracking Applications 2/15/2013

    Since its beginnings in the late 1870’s, eye-tracking has gradually evolved and modern systems now rely on machine vision cameras and sophisticated software algorithms to track eye movements.

  8. New Modeling Approach Transforms Imaging Technologies 2/5/2013

    Researchers are improving the performance of technologies ranging from medical CT scanners to digital cameras using a system of models to extract specific information from huge collections of data and then reconstructing images like a jigsaw puzzle.

  9. Long Wave Infrared Gas Detection Camera 1/31/2013

    The FLIR GF306 gas detection camera from FLIR Systems employs a cooled Long Wave (LW) Infrared detector for greater sensitivity enabling it to scan large areas rapidly, pinpoint leaks in real time and provide verification of processes.

  10. Imec First To Introduce Hyperspectral CMOS Camera For Snapshot And Video 1/31/2013

    At SPIE Photonics West 2013, imec presents a prototype hyperspectral imager for snapshot and video acquisition. Being fast, compact and cost-efficient, imec’s CMOS-based imaging systems with integrated hyperspectral filters are suited for multiple industrial vision applications.
