Work from the first three years of the £270 million UK National Quantum Technology programme, including that from the quantum imaging hub, was showcased at an event in London on 22 November
At Laser World of Photonics in Munich, the UK Quantum Technology Hub in Quantum Enhanced Imaging was displaying a number of imaging project demonstrators, including a methane gas camera being built in collaboration with M Squared Lasers
Researchers at the University of Glasgow in Scotland have collaborated with laser manufacturer M Squared to develop an infrared imaging system that could offer low-cost, real-time detection of methane gas
Advances in sensors that capture images like real eyes, plus in the software and hardware to process them, are bringing a paradigm shift in imaging, finds Andrei Mihai
A new automated approach is helping engineers in vision technology and forensics to identify rare traces, which can be essential in solving a crime
Integrating AI and augmented reality into imaging and machine vision for automated inspection tasks paves the way for faster, more efficient manufacturing, finds Abigail Williams
Camera and AI-equipped agricultural robots that can till, weed, pollinate and harvest are revolutionising farming, discovers Benjamin Skuse
Optical accelerators are enabling a new generation of powerful hyperspectral cameras, writes Professor Andrea Fratalocchi, of KAUST and Pixeltra
