Image sensor

of artificial intelligence, or AI, was not founded until 1956 during a conference at Darmouth College [2]. Early attempts at artificial intelligence includes W. Grey Walter’s robot turtles and the Johns Hopkins Beast. Both operated with physical sensors that allowed them to navigate obstacles while carrying out their programming. Though it has been argued that these robots do not possess ‘strong’ artificial intelligence, intelligence on par with that of a human, they do represent ‘weak’…

is based on embedded system, uses ultrasonic sensor for distance measurement, IR sensor for object detection and AVR sound system for audio instructions. The main functions of this system are environment recognition and path detection. Ultrasonic sensors receive visual information and this visual information is transformed into auditory information. To represent the information about the position of…

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been acquiring data and developed guidelines that will help shape the future of the medical profession. They have published posters and other visual images around hospitals in order encourage doctors to comply with hand hygiene. These educational initiatives have been encouraging, but they have not enforced doctors to comply. So far there has been little improvement in hand washing compliance among…

physics of nature’s various waves. To photograph natural and man-made objects on the earth’s surface, the camera must be in the proper location, contain ample power to operate all systems, contain sufficient image resolution to capture the target area, and have the ability to transmit the digital images quickly and reliably to earth. The discussion below will support the design for a nuclear powered “spy” photographic satellite in low earth orbit, possessing a10-meter telescopic mirror, and…

Funding Volcano Monitoring The U.S. Senate has recently released their budget. This caused many people to begin debating whether the United States should fund volcano monitoring or not. Although many people have disliked taxes, they are an important need. Without taxes, money for roads, schools, and retirees would not be available. The Senate should push for the funding of volcano monitoring. This would be essential for the future, especially with the uprise of volcano eruptions. With the…

digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera. It is a digital camera that combines the optics and the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor. The best entry level lens for any photographer is an 18-55 mm. First, there are so many pictures and different apps available these days that can change the quality of an image. Also it is not just about the apps you use, but the camera also. DSLR cameras have been around for some time and smartphone cameras cannot compete with…

higher shutter speeds to avoid blurry images, this will help avoiding motion blurred by using the proper lens depending on the angle. For this it is also needed to use faster lens and to decrease the lens aperture to the lowest one in the camera in order to let more light pass through the lens into the camera body, also it will be helpful if the lens you are using go with VR/IS (Vibration Reduction/Image Stabilization) technology and to increase your camera ISO (Sensor Sensitivity). After…

the MRI needs the inclusion of contrasting fluids which better depicts areas with initially low contrast, resulting in a more detailed image. One of the biggest problems is that, in order to have a successful MRI you must be comfortable with being in an enclosed space for upwards or 20 minutes, and staying very still as even minor movements can cause the image to be…

stairs were designed to reduce vertigo for those who suffer from the condition. Curzio Malaparte was a writer who said, "Now I live on an island, in an austere and melancholy house, which I built myself on a lonely cliff above the sea. [It is] the image of my desire." It was built in 1938…

time-of-flight continues-wave camera with a resolution of 512*424 pixels (width*height), an RGB camera with a resolution of 1920*1080 pixels (width*height), an array of 4 microphones and some electronics for signal elaboration. The camera is able to acquire images at a maximum frequency of 30 Hz. Sending out invisible structures pulses into the scene whilst measuring the individual traveling time of each point in the pulse (See figure 3.1, page 16). The operating field is defined by a depth…
