Medical Infrared Cameras Make Disease Detection Easier

Medical professionals rely on infrared cameras as detection devices for myriad complicated and sometimes hidden diseases that are not easily detectable through typical medical diagnostics and instruments. Medical instruments that use thermal imaging technology are powerful tools in disease detection.

High Speed Cameras Handle High Speed Inspection Tasks

There are many operations that function at high speeds such as web inspection, high-speed bottling or other ultra-automated jobs that need to be completed on a daily basis. Suppliers of machine vision parts and integrators are in the business of solving the high-speed needs of customers through the use of high-speed vision systems.

High Resolution Lens based Technologies Monitor Vehicle Speed and Seatbelt Compliance

Law enforcement officials are always on the look-out for technologies to help them find drivers who fail to comply with seatbelt laws and who exceed the speed limit. It is hoped that these high resolution lens camera-based technologies will improve traffic safety conditions and reduce accidents that are caused by traffic infractions.

CCTV Camera Lenses Used In Wireless Security Camera Systems

Individuals understand that when they go into banking institutions, ATMs, casinos or retail stores of all sizes, there will likely be CCTV cameras recording their every movement. These CCTV security cameras record and track customer movements to prevent vandalism and theft.

CIR Lens Use In Infrared Technologies In Night Vision

Today's night vision technology allows individuals to operate under the cover of complete darkness. This comes in handy for law enforcement and the military when they need to perform missions and can't risk it during the daytime hours. Night vision technology relies on both image intensifiers and thermal imaging.

Higher video processing capabilities sought by the military

The UAV designers that work for the DOD are seeking higher capability from the ground control systems in its high-def infrared images, storage and image processing and video processing.

Understanding 'Insect Locomotion' with high speed imaging equipment

To understand the movement, researchers constructed an environment that mimics the dragonfly's natural habitat. The habitat is equipped with high speed imaging equipment to capture the insect in movement.

Laser scanner technology continues to improve

There have been recent upgrades to laser scanner technology that address inherent limitations the scanners have in with items such as reading a barcode through plastic shrink-wrap or reading bar codes are damaged or those that are printed on flexible materials.
