In case you were worried about Full Body Scanners at US International airports, this particular new technology being developed by Photon-X Inc. for the Air Force might set you on edge more than just a little bit. Apparently, they want to develop a camera that can use spacial measurements, infrared and visible light, in ...
I think we all know that facial recognition technology is getting better and better. I believe that Google wants to create some sort of facial recognition software, and it was a new feature on Facebook last December. Now, an app on the iPhone does it, and it could be used to unlock an iPhone. ...
I think that we all know that QR Codes are a very necessary part of marketing these days. I know I have scanned them on business cards in order to get something as simple as a web address. I suppose this is why ScanMe has this service where you can get your own ...
I can picture a clothing store of the future. There won't be any fitting rooms, but this big scanner thing that you see here in the video. I believe that the purpose of mybestfit (always in lower case letters) scanner is to reduce the "fitting room marathon" that comes from close shopping. ...
I think we all know that sensors and scanners are getting more and more accurate, like the Stripespotter can identify zebras. Now, this particular sensor known as ALPRs (Automatic License Plate Readers) which allows users to read license plates off of parked and moving cars. They can read hundreds per minute, and can ...
Considering that we have all sorts of software that can identify people by the face, I suppose that it stands to reason that we would have software to identify animals. I suppose one of the easiest animals that would be hardest to identify is the zebra. I mean, they all have different stripe ...
If you are like me, then you have a bunch of old photos laying around that have to be turned into digital pictures. Clearly, you are looking forward to a long night where you can just scan them, all day. Yeah, like that is ever going to happen. However, this Desktop Photo ...
Normally, I report on Kinect Hacks on cybertheater, our sister site that focuses on home theater related material. I'm pretty sure that this is one use for the Kinect that Microsoft didn't think about. I thought I would talk about this because it involves some photography of some sort. You can watch ...
In addition to that special project from the University of Michigan that can match police sketches to photos, I thought I would spend some time on this scanner that can see through walls. This scanner camera can take 30 images per second by transmitting millimeter and microwaves to this collector on the other side ...
This is an interesting software development. I never had to be in a situation where I needed a police sketch artist, but it is difficult to match it up with a real suspect. Some people at Michigan State University have developed a program that will make it easier. A police sketch of ...
