An exhaust gas temperature (EGT) gauge is a meter used for measuring the exhaust gas temperature of an internal combustion engine in combination with a thermocouple-type pyrometer.
The traditional video camera with its limited field of view makes it difficult for use in some of the applications in the field of computational vision. Catadioptric sensors are proving to be an apt solution for this issue.
Image sensors are miniature devices or circuits arranged on silicon chips, which are used for image capturing and sensing applications.
The bhangmeter is a non-imaging radiometer that was invented in 1948 with the purpose of detecting nuclear detonations and measuring the yield of a nuclear weapon.

Metal detectors are portable electronic devices used for detecting the presence of any metal close by. They operate by sensing changes in magnetic waves caused by metal. The metal objects can be anything from old coins to gold nuggets.
A net radiometer is an actinometer used for measuring net radiation at the Earth’s surface. The net radiation normal to the earth's surface is the difference between the total upward radiation flux and the total downward radiation flux.
Most of the sensor systems rely on light as the signal source. LEDs are often ideal as a light source due to their high efficiency.
