Photographic lenses for large format CCD imaging-standard and custom designs
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 [...]
Smart phones continue to get even smarter with the new technology developed by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and the Australian National University. By adding a small, lentil-sized lens, a smart phone can be transformed into a microscope. Not only can this lens transform the phone, but it also [...]
If you’ve ever received a ticket in the mail that comes with a photo of you behind the wheel violating some traffic law – speeding, running a red light, etc. – you may be wondering, “How did they do that?” Traffic cameras are abundant in cities across the country and [...]
People use their smartphones for everything from reading email to managing their Facebook and Instagram accounts to snapping photos and videos. When the new iPhone 5S surfaced, it allowed users to take slow-motion recordings, identifying a new market in smartphone usage. Toshiba recently announced a new 8MP CMOS BSI sensor [...]
Sitting home in our easy chairs we can enjoy the thrills that come from a NASCAR race – up close and personal. The reason for this is because of the lenses that the car-mounted cameras use. From the fast-rushing landscape to rear bumper shots to near misses and close-ups of [...]
