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...

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...

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...

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...

LiDAR is an optical remote sensing and imaging technology that utilizes non-visible light to map the ground surface and objects present on the surface of the Earth. It simultaneously captures millions of measurements of depth information in all directions and then creates high-resolution maps. The need for adapting LiDAR technologies in consumer...

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 ...

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is witnessing large-scale realization with the growing importance of smart home devices and the increasing consumer demand for automation in order to enable convenient living as well as reduced consumption of energy. Connected living is gaining prominence owing to the various benefits associated with it, mainly its abil...

The Big 4 sensors—pressure, flow, temperature and level—measure parameters that are most critical to both process and discrete field monitoring applications. This research service analyzes the global market for flow, level, pressure, and temperature sensors and transmitters and offers a quantitative model with revenues and forecasts for the flow, l...

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...
