Recent research shows that humans are surprisingly poor at matching a face in a photograph to that seen in real life. The situation is the same with automatic face recognition systems. In today’s surveillance society, correct photo identification is of the utmost importance and with the government’s proposed identity card scheme expected to begin in 200, the ID issue is highly controversial.
Firstsight Vision is delighted to have signed an exclusive distribution agreement for the UK with Opgal Optronic Industries Ltd for sales into the Industrial, Security and Defence Markets, This is part of a wider European agreement with the STEMMER Imaging Group.
AOptix Technologies, Inc. www.aoptix.com a leading edge developer of advanced biometric iris recognition systems announced that it is entering the fast growing iris recognition biometrics market with its proprietary adaptive optics technology. The company will premiere its fully functional 2 meter stand-off system at the upcoming Biometrics Consortium Conference (BCC) exhibition in Baltimore, Maryland from September 11 through 13, 2007.
Seno Medical Instruments, Inc. will announce the introduction of a new platform technology using opto-acoustics for small animal functional imaging at the Joint Molecular Imaging Conference in Providence, Rhode Island, September 8-9.
Stratos Optical Technologies, a leader in fibre optic video transport solutions for the broadcast industry, announced the European debut of its HMC (hermaphroditic miniaturized connector) expanded beam fibre optic connector at IBC 2007. Now available in 2 and 4-channel configurations, the HMC offers the reliability benefits of Expanded Beam (EB) technology in a more compact format – convenient for use on smaller, portable equipment as well as for high-density connector panels.
The University of Colorado at Boulder delivered the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE), first of three Solar Dynamic Observatory instruments, to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. EVE will measure how much the sun's ultraviolet brightness changes.
CRAIC Technologies, the leader manufacturer of UV-visible-NIR microscopes and microspectrophotometers, today released the new QDI ImageUV™ imaging system for the QDI 2010™ microspectrophotometer. This new system represents a major step forward in the fields of microscopy and microspectroscopy in that it allows users of the QDI 2010™ to acquire both images and spectra in the UV, visible and NIR regions of micron-scale samples. Images and spectra can be acquired in transmittance, reflectance, polarization and even fluorescence from the deep UV to the NIR.
It is well established that a child's brain has a remarkable capacity for change, but controversy continues about the extent to which such plasticity exists in the adult human primary sensory cortex. Now, neuroscientists from MIT and Johns Hopkins University have used converging evidence from brain imaging and behavioral studies to show that the adult visual cortex does indeed reorganize-and that the change affects visual perception. The study appears online Sept. 5 in an advance publication of the Journal of Neuroscience.
In recent years, the concept of multimodality imaging has emerged coincident with advances in the newer technologies of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) and Coronary Computed Tomography (CCT). It has become clear that the field of cardiovascular imaging, in general, is enjoying major growth and technological advances.
Most people think of Sir Isaac Newton as the father of gravity.
But for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory physicist Henry Chapman and his colleagues, Newton’s “dusty mirror” experiment served a...
