Sensors have the potential to transform any industry owing to the various benefits associated with them. Traditionally, different types of sensors have been deployed for homeland security, which are however undergoing advancements to develop newer technologies such as electronic noses (e-noses) and electronic tongues (e-tongues), which have the cap...

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology in imaging applications is relying on sensor technologies and software algorithms. SLAM allows autonomous systems such as self-driving cars, robots, and drones to simultaneously build a map of their surroundings, navigate, operate effectively, and estimate their position on that map. It levera...

Opportunities for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) threat agent detection systems are being largely driven by increasing threats of terrorist attacks. Chemical threats involve use of harmful and toxic industrial chemicals or materials and release of poisonous gases. Biological threats include premeditated attacks b...

•LiDAR is an imaging technology that enables distance measurement and the construction of precise and detailed 3D mapping solutions. •4D LiDAR will significantly impact the industrial and the automotive sectors (primarily, autonomous vehicles). For Level 4 and 5 automated driving, the automotive industry will choose 4D LiDAR sensor technology rath...

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is concerned with continuous monitoring of civil and industrial buildings or structures in order to improve human safety and decrease maintenance costs. The SHM scheme provides data about changes induced by aging products, environmental action, or accidental occurrences in a single portion or in the entire structu...

Demand for terahertz imaging is driven by its ability to perform non-ionizing scanning on the human skin that does not harm the healthy cells in the surrounding infection areas—a primary requisite in the medical field—compared with conventional scanning modes such as x-ray and UV rays. Terahertz radiation is transparent to paper, wood, and a few ...

Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles that are finding application opportunities in various industries and have the potential to transform military as well as consumer applications. Drones essentially combine various sensing and communication technologies along with remote control or autonomous capabilities. Drones were initially developed for milita...

Opportunities for imaging radars are largely driven by the needs for high precision and high resolution imaging required in land surveillance for assessment of vegetation, topography, hydrology in turn enabling governments or influencing organizations make informed decisions. A key area where imaging radars are finding extensive adoption is for us...

The sensor industry is booming rapidly and in the semiconductor sector it is considered one of the emerging segments. With both diagnostic and preventive features, sensors switch from being smart to becoming highly intelligent. Most sensors will be predictive in order to prevent mishaps and avoid correction of the course. Sensors are garnering smar...
