Thermal imaging aids studies in volcanic phenomena
, suddenly change to gas causing explosions. To investigate this, the
An international team of researchers are using thermal imaging to study the Fossa cone, a volcanic area in Italy that displays fumarolic activity. Fumarolic activity is an unpredictable phenomenon whereby a change in pressure means fluids, mostly water and CO2
researchers are using a Flir thermal imaging camera. The thermal data is combined with
numerical models to provide an insight into the mechanisms that control the ascent paths of hydrothermal fluids. According to these models, low compressive stress values would be found at the rims of the nested craters. Field observations with the Flir camera confirmed that this corresponds to the actual occurrence of fumaroles. The escaping hydrothermal gases are much hotter than the surroundings so they stand out very clearly on a thermal image.
nigeria gains satellite imaging resource
The Earth observation satellite, NigeriaSat-2, has been launched into space with high-performance CCD image sensors from e2v onboard. The satellite will provide Nigeria with valuable geographically
referenced high-resolution satellite imaging for applications in mapping, water resources management, agricultural land use, population estimation, health hazard monitoring and disaster
news from emVA By Patrick schwarzkopf
The upcoming Vision show in Stuttgart (8-10 November) is set to break all records. With more exhibition space booked than ever before and a positive economic climate for machine vision, an all-time high in visitor numbers seems likely. The European Machine Vision Association is a close partner of this leading international showcase for machine vision technology. On the evening before the show on 7 November, we will hold the International Vision Night networking event. We expect more than 150 executive level participants from around the world. The new location, MASH, in the easily accessible city centre
of Stuttgart, provides the perfect stage for mixing and mingling while enjoying food and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. For registration, go to
www.emva.org. Don’t miss the special exhibition on international machine vision standards (next to the forum, Industrial Vision Days), which will feature more than 10 demonstrators showing the benefits of using standards. You can see the standards in action and talk to the developers of the following standards: Camera Link HS, CoaXPress, EMVA 1288, GenICam, GigE Vision, Lens Mount Standard, Lighting Standard and USB 3 Vision. Hall 6, B73. In addition, the chairs of the
EMVA working groups will present the EMVA 1288 and GenICam standards at the Industrial Vision Days (Hall 6, A 81): Tuesday 8 November, 12:00-12:30, GenICam; Thursday 10 November, 10:30-11:00, EMVA 1288. The EMVA will also be running a panel discussion entitled: ‘The Future of Machine Vision: Going Embedded?’ Embedded Vision is a major trend in the machine vision industry. What are the potentials and limits? What are the benefits for users? What role will it play in the future? The panel discussion will be held in the presentation forum, Industrial Vision Days, which runs more than 40 presentations during
the three days of the show. The panel discussion will take place on Wednesday 9 November, from 14:00 to 15:00. In addition, EMVA director of market research, Andreas Breyer, will give a presentation on the European machine vision market. This short talk will provide selected results of the EMVA’s European Vision Technology Market Statistics report. It will take place on Wednesday 9 November, from 9:15 to 9:30, Industrial Vision Days, Hall 6, A 81. We look forward to seeing you at our booth 6, B74! Finally, the 10th EMVA business conference will take place from 20 to 21 April in Lisbon, Portugal.
mitigation and management. The satellite was developed for the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) of Nigeria and the e2v image sensors integrated into a focal plane array by
SSTL (Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd) UK. The e2v high-resolution focal plane for the instrument was built with an array of five charge coupled device (CCD) CCD31-40 imaging sensors.
