Researchers working for car manufacturer Toyota are developing a new night vision camera that renders full colour images in near total darkness. By developing a new algorithm based on the night vision capabilities of the dung beetle (yes, those charming critters), they claim to be able to render fast moving images with a camera and graphics card.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteToyota developing new night-vision camera can obviously see more than the naked eye and could be used for making road traffic safer. The cameras for the long-wave infrared range have the disadvantage that the sensor requires constant cooling, adding to the cost and complexity of the device. Thanks a lot...
