Color Cameras

Figure 5 shows a cross section of the view cell. This cell is fabricated from 316 stainless steel. The interior of the cell is illuminated through the window at the top of the cell by a fiberoptic light. The states of the contents are observed through the side window by means of a closed circuit color camera connected to a borescope. Although view of the upper region of the cell is restricted, any additional phase formed in this region must have a mass density less than the mass density of the supercritical phase. Such behavior is not anticipated with the systems studied here.

Once this initial characterization has been completed, continuation of the microscopic analysis using the hot-stage accessory may proceed. As an initial analysis, the ramp rate utilized for the DSC experiment should also be used for the hot-stage analysis. Use of a consistent ramp rate permits direct comparison of the data previously collected by DSC and TGA. If transitions are observed in the thermal data up to 300°C, the hot-stage experiment should also be run to that temperature. Ultimately, the assay should be conducted to generate confirmatory data on all transitions of interest. If available, the color camera should be utilized so that images may be collected as documentation of the transitions observed. Once the experiment is completed, the analyst may be able to compare the DSC, TGA, XRD, optical, and HSM data and develop a comprehensive characterization of the material. 

The AutoPixT visualization system does not include oculars because of the enclosed system configuration. Instead, a PAL-format color camera permits visualization of the slide as a roadmap image for determining the target area of microdissection see Fig. 1) (28). 

In the main there are two kinds of technologies for digital color cameras, the CCD (Charged Coupled Device) and the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor). While CCD cameras deliver images with a better quality and are more sensitive for low emittance, CMOS cameras are often used as high-speed cameras. Today, common CMOS high-speed cameras are able to record up to 32,000 images in a second. 

Since aU recorded frames from the color camera are saved to hard disk, the color information is available in RGB matrixes (red, green, blue). 

The imaging system used to image the flow is schematically shown in Fig. 2 and consists of an inverted microscope, a high-power flash lamp, and a 3CCD RGB digital color camera like the... 

In the late 1980s, AeroVironment, Inc., of Simi Valley, California, developed a small, low-cost, remotely piloted drone for the Marines that could be carried in two backpacks and could be flown with moderate pilot skills. With a 9-foot wingspan, Pointer was the first true mini-UAV system to be commercially produced (Figure 1). Pointer carries a forward-looking color camera and is powered by an electric motor that provides up to 90 minutes of operation with present lithium battery technology. 

Five high-speed 16 mm motion picture color cameras and side-on IR imaging video recorders were also positioned to make visual recordings of the experiments. Nine radiometers were deployed by the NWC personnel to measure both the radiative heat flux at several distances from the vapor cloud fires and the emissive power of the fire. 

The animation of the wireless body area netwoik is shown in Fig. 6. The human in the figure is an imported .obj file into the openGL program. Texture mapping is applied to represent the mobile. Tweak Bar is used as the interface to change the attributes like color, camera position and lighting effects. 

When illuminated, the TLCs reflect the light in a special way an opalescent color play occurs, strongly dependent on temperature. These light reflections, a narrow band of wavelengths, can be recorded with the usual color cameras and microscopic lenses. With a special calibration technique the RGB information of the color images is converted into the scalar hue-value and from that into a temperature value for each pixel of the frame. Thus, it is possible to determine entire temperature fields with high spatial resolution.
