Miniature camera technology will allow soldiers to track combatants in dark caves or urban alleys, and allow security officials to unobtrusively identify subjects from iris scans. The new apps build on "Panoptes" platform technology from Southern Methodist University, Dallas, with $5.5 million total DOD funding. Agile, precisely controlled microelectromechanical system mirror arrays integrate with low-resolution sub-imagers to sample a wide field of view and zoom to regions of interest. Captured images are restored to high-resolution.

 | A number of US states now use facial recognition technology when issuing drivers licenses. Similar methods are also used to grant access to buildings and to verify the identities of international travelers. Historically, obtaining accurate results with this type of technology has been a time intensive activity. Now, a researcher from the University of Miami College of Engineering and his collaborators have developed ways to make the technology more efficient while improving accuracy. ...> Full Article |
