Advancements in sensor technologies have facilitated the emergence of connected living. The development of sensors that detect multiple parameters enables the Internet of Things (IoT), which is communication between devices. However, sensors as a standalone device would not be able to play a vital role in the IoT space as only partial data would re...

Sensors are vital enablers of the Internet of Things (IoT), allowing a plethora of automated, connected devices that provide continuous feedback about their and can be remotely controlled. Sensors that are able to perform some processing and analysis on a wealth of data to provide the most important information with respect to their surroundings or...

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...

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...

This study discusses the critical role of sensors in wearable electronics. Ten different types of sensors have been discussed. This number is expected to increase to accommodate more sensing functionalities in wearable devices. However, the scope of this research is much wider as a number of significant trends are discussed, related not only to sen...

This research service discusses the global optical and image sensors market. Under image sensors, CCD and CMOS types have been discussed. Both the optical and image sensors market is forecast to register significant growth due to their use in smart phones, and tablets. Also, product and technology trends, declining prices have enabled both optical ...

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...

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 ...

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...
