Researchers have given rats the ability to "touch" infrared light, normally invisible to them, by fitting them with an infrared detector wired to microscopic electrodes implanted in the part of the mammalian brain that processes tactile information. The achievement represents the first time a brain-machine interface has augmented a sense in adult animals, said Duke University neurobiologist Miguel Nicolelis, who led the research team.
Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (ISS) announced today the introduction of its CitySync Rapid Plate Recognition™ technology, the fastest, most accurate automated license plate recognition (ALPR) engine in the world. The Rapid Plate Recognition technology reads a license plate numerous times and uses multiple advanced methods for both optical character recognition and plate finding for each plate read.
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation today announced that New Imaging Technologies (NIT) is demonstrating its WiDy Sensor board with the LatticeECP3™-based HDR60 Camera Development Kit at Photonics West in San Francisco.
SRI International today unveiled a compact video stabilization interface board for Sony's popular line of FCB-EX and FCB-EX-E series standard definition block cameras. The ILS-5000-SD™ embedded stabilizer enhances video quality for camera modules that are widely used in law enforcement, surveillance, intelligent traffic systems, border protection, robotics, and unmanned vehicles.
Precision sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon has launched a series of benchtop multi-point measurement systems that enable faster, easier inspection of light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today expanded its high content analysis portfolio with three new solutions designed to revolutionize cell biology by quickly generating more knowledge about the cell.
Advances in fabrication and designing techniques have led to the production of low cost, highly compact, miniaturized image sensors that offer high resolution images, while maintaining a small form factor. These features have allowed image sensors to penetrate a wide range of applications beyond their major market of consumer electronics. Other sectors such as industrial imaging, medical, security and surveillance and automotive also are leveraging the advancing technological abilities of image sensors.
Whether on a long train journey, sitting in a café or lounging at home on the sofa, smartphones and tablet computers allow us to watch videos anywhere and at any time. As convenient as this development is for users, it also throws up some problems. Because the downloaded video files are usually very large, they are increasingly putting too much strain on mobile phone networks. There is a reduction in image quality and videos take a long time to load. Sometimes users are even forced to take breaks while watching videos, because data cannot be downloaded fast enough.
On 14th November 2012, e2v image sensors on board the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) Hinode satellite captured an image of the moon travelling across the front of the Sun.
Toshiba Corporation today announced that it will enter the linear image-sensor market for banknote recognition applications, a high growth business. The company has developed a contact image-sensor module (CISM) for banknote recognition as its first product, and mass production is scheduled for June 2013.
