Download this article in PDF format. In this article, we implement a rain and ice sensor by analyzing the reflection of an infrared (IR) light source. This project uses proven techniques based on ...

Low-cost infra-red (IR) arrays provide precise imaging data and detailed heat signatures for both static and dynamic objects can be derived, and find applications in security, automotive, building ...

The build centers around a Melexis MLX90620 far infrared thermopile that can be had for about $80. Basically, this sensor is a very, very low resolution camera (16×4 pixels) that senses heat ...

Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light.

Humans Passive infrared sensors work well when it comes to instant occupancy or object detection. They can only sense people or objects in motion, which makes them conditionally useful in building ...

The Grid-EYE sensors provide thermal images by measuring actual temperature and temperature gradients. The high-gain AMG8833/34 and low-gain AMG8853/54 sensors enable detection of multiple persons, ...

Official Description: An infrared motion sensor that detects both human and paranormal movement. When set off, it will illuminate the surrounding areas with a bright light. Another tool to help ...

TRL-6 is the level at which components are qualified for use in the harsh environment of space. In addition to the infrared arrays for the main optical instrument aboard WFIRST, Teledyne is working to ...

They use a photodiode light sensor array to measure how much sunlight particular leaves are getting each minute of the day, which tells them how they should be pruning the trees.

They were among the first teams to build a low-power large-scale OPA that operates at near-infrared wavelenghs,and were the first to build an OPA on-chip that uses blue wavelength.

In this article, we implement a rain and ice sensor by analyzing the reflection of an infrared (IR) light source. This project uses proven techniques based on multiple reflections of IR light in ...
