Greg Blackman looks at novel imaging devices based on quantum science, and finds that the technology is closer to commercialisation than first expected
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
Limited data is a common problem when training CNNs in industrial imaging applications. Petra Thanner and Daniel Soukup, from the Austrian Institute of Technology, discuss ways of working with CNNs when data is scarce
Matthew Dale explores the high-resolution imaging solutions emerging for inspecting OLEDs and other electronic displays
As car makers install production lines for electric vehicles, Greg Blackman looks at how vision is currently used in their factories
Keely Portway investigates how vision technology is being used in the dental sector, from initial diagnosis, to quality control of prostheses
The UK is up to 20 per cent less productive than its major competitor countries because it is not investing in automation, Mike Wilson at the British Automation and Robot Association said at UKIVA's machine vision conference in Milton Keynes. Greg Blackman reports
