I’ve been flying multispectral missions for a few years now, and the biggest surprise of these systems is how much processing ...

The emergence of big data combined with the revolution in sensor technology is having a synergistic effect that promises a boom in both realms. The ability to fuse sensor data is spurring the growth ...

Engineers have introduced a holistic system that integrates sensing, storage and processing at the sensor's edge to enable efficient and secure signal processing. Brain-inspired hardware minimizes ...

An upgrade featuring a lightweight sensor and software system added to smaller unmanned vehicles can provide capabilities similar to those available on larger vehicles. As the Defense Department ...

Adding a sensor to a project used to be a big deal in the analog times. Special wiring. Tiny signals needing amplification. Calibration with potentiometer tweaking. Strip chart recorders with funky ...

Sensor fusion has been around for many years and is ubiquitous in mobile device designs. Sensor fusion “fuses” data from different types of sensors to improve measurement accuracy, such as for motion ...

If you want to track a snail, you need a tiny instrumentation package. How do you create an entire data acquisition system, including sensors, memory, data processing and a power supply, small enough ...

Sensors are the “eyes” and “ears” of processors, co-processors, and computing modules. They come in all shapes, forms, and functions, and they are being deployed in a rapidly growing number of ...

Sensors at left (top to bottom): Heat flux (TFX), in-mold dielectric (Lambient), ultrasonic (Univ. of Augsburg), disposable dielectric (Synthesites) and microwire (AvPro) in between penny and ...
