Photographic lenses for large format CCD imaging-standard and custom designs
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 [...]
In April astronomers announced what is quite possibly, the most extraordinary piece of scientific news ever. They had at last captured an image of the unobservable, always illusive, black hole – cosmic abyss so deep and dense that not even light can escape it. […]
Jupiter may be one of the most recognizable sights in the night sky, but it still manages to surprise not only everyday people, but also the scientists that continue to study it. The Juno spacecraft successfully entered the orbit of Jupiter on July 4, 2016. In early 2018, it was [...]
In the past, 3D simulations of black hole dynamics have modelled plasma made of electrons and positrons as a continuum. Recently, and for the first time, a team of astrophysicists have calculated how individual particles of matter and antimatter swirl around a rotating black hole. […]
If you happened to look up into the sky on Sunday, January 20th, you probably spotted a ‘blood moon’, also known as a lunar eclipse. Millions of people around the world enjoyed the sight as the moon slowly turned dark, and then red over a period of several hours. However, [...]
The use of license plate readers is increasing in popularity with police and other law enforcement agencies to find stolen cars and catch up with people with expired licenses or active warrants. And when they’re not piggybacking on police cruisers, plate readers are often affixed to utility poles or freeway [...]
Globally, the fascination with deep space began in the early 1900’s. Since them, imaging satellites are launched in an ongoing effort to see space more accurately. The images from space sent back will help researchers and scientists gain a clearer understanding of our planetary neighbors and how they affect life [...]
Vision-based face detection and recognition is one of the most rapidly growing research areas in computer vision and robotics and is widely used in several human related applications. However, vision-based face detection and recognition has been shown to be effective only under normal illumination conditions. In developing an algorithm for [...]
If precision technology has driven the farming revolution of recent years, monitoring crops from the sky will drive the next. With using drone or UAV technology, you can capture highly accurate images of your fields, covering up to hundreds of hectares/acres in a single flight, without the cost and hassle [...]
Have you ever wondered how event coordinator at events such as New Year’s Eve in Time Square, the Boston Marathon or other events where tickets and assigned seats aren’t involved can supply the numbers on how many individuals attended? Through the use of “people counting software” these numbers can be [...]
