Infrared sensors can help computers see without needing bright light sources that distract or annoy humans. An infrared light source, such as a laser or LED, can bathe a scene in light that humans ...

At first glance, the infrared light sensor seems pretty useless. After all, you can’t get the motion sensor objective with this tool, and both ghosts and humans can trigger it.

The red indicator on the same side is lit when an object is detected. Closing Note To sum up then, the infrared close object alert device (simply an active infrared proximity sensor) transmits pulsed ...

The sensor, the TCS3701, can pick up both visible and infrared light, AMS said. The key development is the ability to ignore light produced by the OLED panel, registering only outside sources.

The system works by sending out infrared light, which the human eye can't see. This light travels in a straight line until it meets an object, at which point it's reflected back to the sensor.

And unlike the infrared sensor, the RGB camera depends on visible light. If you turn the lights down low, it will have more trouble identifying you.

Such light is otherwise blocked by the moisture in Earth’s atmosphere. A modified Boeing 747, dubbed the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA, will be used to carry HAWC+ ...

Imec, a nanoelectronics research company, says the new RGB-NIR multispectral sensor makes it possible to use both data from the RGB spectrum as well as near infrared, an extra layer of detail that ...
