Digital cameras have been increasingly incorporated into many facets of modern society over the past ten years, and they are now extensively employed in facial recognition, mobile phones, security monitoring, and driverless cars.
A pre-proof study in Pattern Recognition has proposed a novel motion-blurred image restoration framework based on blur parameter estimation and fuzzy inference neural networks. The proposed restoration framework produces high-quality image restoration results.
Optical Surfaces Ltd. (Kenley, UK) reports how strong demand for high precision optics and optical systems from the astronomy, fundamental physics and defence communities has enabled it to exceed its annual sales target after just 7-months of 2022. This follows a 20% growth in sales achieved in the previous 2 years.
Working with highly-stable materials such as fused quartz and Zerodur, Optical Surfaces is routinely able to produce reference and transmission flats with a surface accuracy of better than lambda/20 p.v. and surface roughness of less than 1 nm.
