What are the defense applications of electro-optical sensors?

December 30, 2024 By Jeff Shepard

Electro-optic sensors span a wide range of technologies, from various types of imaging devices to infrared (IR) detectors. They are used for various defense applications that enhance situational awareness, including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), search and rescue, threat detection and target identification, and protection against IR-guided missiles. Electro-optic and IR (EO/IR) sensors convert electromagnetic […]

What’s new in sensors for smart homes: part 3

December 30, 2024 By Randy Frank

Air quality sensors have been measuring and monitoring outdoor air quality applications for many years. More recently, they have been used more frequently for indoor applications in smart homes and connect to the home’s Wi-Fi network. One of the more unique sensed items is radon. Similar to other harmful gases, people cannot see or smell […]

How do facial recognition biometrics work?

December 23, 2024 By Jeff Shepard

Facial recognition biometrics is an advanced form of image recognition based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). It can be used on still or video images. This article begins by discussing the basics of facial recognition, including facial detection and feature extraction using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). It then moves on to consider […]

How do ear recognition biometrics work?

December 18, 2024 By Jeff Shepard

In the era of face masks, ear recognition can provide a viable alternative to more commonly used facial recognition. The human ear remains relatively unchanged, making it suitable for security authentication applications. It can also be easier to extract information from since it is not subject to variations like facial expressions. Ear recognition biometrics analyze […]

What’s new in sensors for smart homes: part 2

December 16, 2024 By Randy Frank

As noted in Part 1, some of the latest offerings for smart home sensors are based on sensor integration, technology, and connectivity. However, identified needs have created new applications that were not possible, simply not considered, or only offered for businesses — until recently. For example, the smart shelf was offered to retailers over 20 […]

How does voice recognition biometrics work?

December 4, 2024 By Jeff Shepard

A voiceprint, also called a voice template, is a unique pattern of a person’s voice sounds. Based on hundreds of subtle voice characteristics, voiceprints can be used to identify a person, just like fingerprints or facial recognition. The uniqueness of voiceprints derives from the fact that there are over 70 body parts, each of which […]

How does ASIL SEooC affect sensors?

November 27, 2024 By Randy Frank

Automotive systems that impact safety require adherence to the automotive functional safety standard — ISO 26262. Those electronic and electrical systems that are interlinked to use the input from one sensor to provide different functions in the automobile and minimize system cost, have additional safety considerations. To ensure proper and verified capability, the hardware (HW), software […]

How do eye & iris scan biometrics work?

November 20, 2024 By Jeff Shepard

Iris scan biometrics is one of two techniques that use unique eyeball characteristics for security and identification purposes. The other technique is retinal scanning. Iris scans are more commonly used because they are quicker and less invasive, but retinal scanning can be more accurate. The two techniques also have different applications. A retinal scan requires […]
