Michigan Tech Research Institute (MTRI) and the Nansen International Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NIERSC) of St. Petersburg, Russia have developed a new algorithm for the retrieval of ...

Abstract—Reflective color sensing is typically realized through pho- todiodes with multiple illuminants or photodiodes coated with color filters containing a single illuminant. This paper presents the ...

Coral reefs form a vital part of the marine ecosystem, playing host to diverse species and supporting multiple industries, including fisheries, tourism, and recreation. However, these fragile ...

Scientists regularly use remote sensing drones and satellites to record how climate change affects permafrost thaw rates -- methods that work well in barren tundra landscapes where there's nothing to ...

Bacteria can be engineered to sense a variety of molecules, such as pollutants or soil nutrients. In most cases, however, these signals can only be detected by looking at the cells under a microscope ...

South African researchers have developed a new cleaning system for solar panels that uses a color-sensing light-to-frequency converter to detect dirt. It can reportedly remove around 95% of the dust ...

Pokayoke is a lean manufacturing technique by which mistake-proofing devices are used to keep errors from turning into defects. Tom Rosenberg, industry manager at sensor manufacturer Balluff Inc., in ...

Researchers have developed a remote sensing method of measuring the depth of permafrost by analyzing vegetation cover in boreal ecosystems. Scientists regularly use remote sensing drones and ...
