XCAM, the Northampton-based digital imaging specialist, is developing a variant of its Nuscis electronics for the context imager in Craft Prospect’s Salient project. In Salient, the Glasgow-based Craft Prospect will be using its on-board processing algorithms in a data processing module to perform autonomous detection and decision making for spacecraft operations. These will be based on image data provided by ...

Medical imaging: Healthcare systems are adapting to ML and AI
Heterogeneous and adaptive distributed compute systems are required for image processing, data privacy, security, patient safety and accuracy, argues Subh Bhattacharya. Healthcare applications have become significantly more complex in recent years. These new and demanding applications present fresh challenges for next‑generation medical instruments. Endoscopy for example, demands almost zero latency and real-time capabilities, complex image signal processing (ISP) capabilities and simultaneous ...
UK THz video camera achieves 32 x 32 pixels at 6frame/s
Terahertz video at 6frame/s and with 32 x 32 pixels has been achieved by a team led by Professor Emma Pickwell-MacPherson from the University of Warwick, working with the Chinese University of Hong Kong. “Their terahertz camera reached 100 times faster acquisition than the previous state-of-the-art without adding any significant costs to the system or sacrificing the sub-picosecond temporal resolution needed ...
ISSCC: Computational imaging by THz array
Researchers from the University of Wuppertal in Germany have created a THz signal source array for computational imaging, which allows a single-pixel camera – one THz receiver – to form images. This type of computational imaging involves bathing the object to be photographed in varying light fields and measuring the amplitude of light that passes by. Knowing the various patterns ...
Comms, LEDS and imaging drives car electronics
Vehicle-to-vehicle communications, LED headlights and image processing are emerging as the most interesting electronics technologies for car design writes Richard Wilson.
3D images help treat wounded soldiers in Afghanistan
Oxford-based start-up Eykona Medical has developed a medical imaging system which can be used in the measuring and characterising diabetic wounds
CMOS imager has 2Mpixel resolution
"The increased resolution is well timed with advances in processing speeds and with the emergence of new higher speed interfaces like USB3.0,” said Gareth Powell from e2v
e2v secures major satellite deal for CMOS imagers
e2v will manage the whole of the supply chain for the sensors, from the in-house design, to the qualification and delivery of the sub-assembly, including the CMOS imaging sensor itself
3D game consoles and tablets grow imager market – In-Stat
“In 2011, handheld game consoles will be the first 3D-enabled mobile device to surpass 1 million units annually,” said In-Stat’s report.
