I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

Uncover the basics of infrared technology, explore different sensor types, and learn about radiometric calibration.Infrared imaging radiometry is the science of using an infrared camera to measure ...

Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human body.

This latest sensor is the culmination of a 20-year, $15-million effort that has developed five generations of increasingly larger and more powerful infrared sensors in the HgCdTe (mercury-cadmium ...

An Infrared close object sensor installed on an industrial vehicle detects objects or pedestrians located in a hazardous area. When it detects a problem an audio/visual indicator makes an alert, that ...

Two images, one sensor. New Olympus sensor, developed with the Tokyo Institute of Technology, captures color and near-infrared images simultaneously.

Researchers have developed a smart sensor for DARPA that’s capable of identifying infrared -- without having to have its own power source.
