As cities evolve and infrastructure grows more interconnected, traffic monitoring has become a cornerstone of urban planning, road safety, and law enforcement. From toll booths to intelligent traffic systems and public safety networks, modern traffic management relies on real-time imaging—and at the heart of every [...]
As demand grows for 360-degree imaging and wide-area surveillance, system integrators and product engineers face challenges in optical performance, resolution, and compatibility. At Universe Kogaku, we don’t build the cameras—we design and manufacture the precision lenses that go inside them. […]
Gone are the days when managing and monitoring livestock was entirely dependent on manual labor. Technological advancements have relieved the farmers from such physically demanding and time-consuming tasks. The farms and barns have transformed into modern spaces as they are now outfitted with high-end cameras, [...]
The global sea level has been rising over the past century, and the rate has increased in recent decades. Rising sea levels are a result of global warming and have now become a huge cause of concern. […]
Earth observation technologies are transforming how we monitor climate change, manage natural resources, and study environmental shifts.
From mapping distant Martian craters to monitoring algae blooms in Earth’s lakes, high-resolution lenses are the hidden heroes of modern imaging technology. These precision-engineered optics power satellites, orbiters, and scientific instruments, transforming faint light into sharp, detailed pictures that reveal the secrets of our world and beyond.
In the effort to kill viruses, particularly the coronavirus, London’s Heathrow Airport has begun using robots to clean and kill viruses. These robots use ultraviolet rays to kill the viruses at night when the airport is quiet. […]
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has the responsibility of announcing and categorizing all hurricane and cyclone activity in and around North America. This includes the expected track of the storm, the size, rainfall, storm surges and other aspects that go along with Atlantic and Pacific storm formations. These storms are [...]
There seems to be endless options from which machine vision integrators can choose when it comes to designing an inspection system. Quite possibly the most critical option is whether to use area-scan or line-scan cameras. While the roles they perform are similar, the technology employed in each is miles apart [...]
Radiological x-rays, ultrasounds and NMR’s are all forms of medical imaging that have traditionally required the flexibility of the human eye to detect anomalies within the human body. Since a computer is confused by busy backgrounds and image quality issues, it is difficult for a traditional machine vision algorithm to [...]
