Breakthrough in Biometrics
Anna KochanOne day seminar held in London by the IEE and the Association for Biometrics presented recent progress in the development and application of biometrics. Speakers told the audience…
Seminar report: sensor innovation and technology transfer event 2003
Robert W. BogueThis review reports on a sensor technology transfer event, organised by the UK Department of Trade and Industry.
A vision of the future at TEAM
Brian RooksA report on the Total Engineering and Manufacturing (TEAM) exhibition held at the NEC, Birmingham with a focus on vision and optical systems for inspection and measurement. New…
Sensing technologies bring new features to appliances
Rudi LenzenThis paper discusses the properties of pressure and inertial sensors and their application to domestic appliances.
High fidelity, physics‐based sensor simulation for military and civil applications
Chris Blasband, Jim Bleak, Gus SchultzAs real‐time, high‐fidelity visual scene simulation has become ubiquitous in the training, modeling and simulation community, a growing need for more than “out‐the‐window” scene…
When are smart sensors smart? An example of an illumination‐adaptive image sensor
Vladimir Brajović, Takeo KanadeWhen a sensor device is packaged together with a CPU, it is called a “smart sensor.” The sensors really become smart when the tight integration of sensing and processing results…
A scalable, on‐board localisation and communication system for indoor multi‐robot experiments
Ian Kelly, Alcherio MartinoliWe describe the first prototypes of an inter‐robot infrared localisation and communication system. The system detects the relative positions (both range and bearing) of autonomous…
A review of gas sensors employed in electronic nose applications
K. Arshak, E. Moore, G.M. Lyons, J. Harris, S. CliffordThis paper reviews the range of sensors used in electronic nose (e‐nose) systems to date. It outlines the operating principles and fabrication methods of each sensor type as well…
Optical sensing of smoke using a polychromatic LED: combustion material identification using HLS analysis
R.A. Aspey, K.J. Brazier, J.W. SpencerA multi wavelength optical sensing technique has been tested for monitoring a smoke or aerosol polydispersion so as to allow positive discrimination between types of aerosols or…
Automated 3D model‐based free‐form object recognition
Ajmal Saeed Mian, Mohammed Bennamoun, Robyn OwensIn this paper, we review the process of “3D modeling” and “model‐based recognition” along with their potential industrial applications. We put a particular emphasis on the case…
