Hyperspectral technology can capture the continuous electromagnetic spectrum of color and light through a lens and split it into different spectral lengths using a dispersive element such as a prism or a diffraction grating. While human eyes contain only three types of colour receptors (red, green and blue), a hyperspectral [...]
According to a 2020 report by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), as many as 600 million people – almost 1 in 10 people in the world – fall ill after eating contaminated food and approximately 420,000 of those die every year. These alarming [...]
Hyperspectral imaging is a new analytical technique wherein multiple images for the same spatial area are collected in different wavelengths. Unlike our own eyes that contain only three types of colour receptors (red, green and blue), hyperspectral imaging divides the electromagnetic spectrum into many more bands. It analyses a wide [...]
Rapid explosive detection is vital to protecting lives as well as significant damage to the property. In the past, there have been a number of methods to identify explosives and prohibit them from being transported across the U.S. borders; for example, imaging and chemical identification. That being said, none of [...]
In the quest to explore the solar system and all the celestial bodies, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (more commonly known as NASA) is continuously sending its mechanical astronauts to outer space for planetary surface navigation. Be that as it may, capturing high-resolution images in a volatile space environment [...]
In this day and age, photoelectric sensors are among the most important mechanisms behind the successful functioning of several manufacturing industries as they help manufacturers discover the presence (or lack) of objects. […]
Tens of thousands of international travelers cross secure U.S. borders on a day to day basis, with just about every one of them carrying some sort of hand baggage. It is the duty of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to thoroughly check the traveler’s luggage before they are [...]
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. […]
Governments all over the world are joining forces to address the issue of climate change. With the increase in global warming driven by human greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns, space agencies have also entered the fight to heal the Earth’s climate. [...]
Drones have always been linked to photography and are widely recognized to be indispensable photography tools. That being said, these unmanned, autonomous flying machines are now being used to reform the agricultural industry. […]
