Computer & Information Technology

Stanford University professor Fei-Fei Li has already earned her place in the history of AI. She played a major role in the deep learning revolution by laboring for years to create the ImageNet dataset and competition, which challenged AI systems to recognize objects and animals across 1,000 categories. In 2012,…

Compact Spinning Tech Makes Thermal Imaging Bright

Civil, Structural & Architecture

Seeing heat, as a cutting-edge field of research today, is getting hotter. Purdue University researchers have merged the power of advanced surfaces (including metamaterials) with thermal imaging algorithms to create technology that could open new frontiers in machine vision and autonomous systems.Previously, such advanced surfaces had been used for imaging…

Infrared Sensors Can Now Peer Around Corners

Electrical, Electronics & Instrumentation, Mechanical, Production & Manufacturing

Just because an object is around a corner doesn’t mean it has to be hidden. Non-line-of-sight imaging can peek around corners and spot those objects, but it has so far been limited to a narrow band of frequencies. Now a new sensor can help extend this technique from working with…

HADAR Brings Depth and Texture to “Ghostly” Heat Images

Computer & Information Technology

If autonomous vehicles and robots are ever going to be safe and efficient, they need to perceive their surroundings. They also need to be able to predict the behavior of the stuff around them—whether that’s other robots, vehicles, or even people—and plan their paths and make decisions accordingly. In other…
