Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the strongest explosions in the universe which might be associated with creation of black holes. Magnetic field structure and burst dynamics may influence polarization of the emitted gamma-rays. Precise polarization detection can be an ultimate tool to unveil the true GRB mechanism. POLAR is a space-borne Compton scattering detector for precise measurements of the GRB polarization...
Calibrating roadside camera is essential and indispensable for intelligent traffic surveillance systems. Due to the characteristics of the traffic scenes, the traditional camera calibration methods based on calibration patterns are no longer suitable, since there are generally no calibration patterns (e.g. checkerboard) in traffic scenes. In this paper, we propose a simple and practical calibration...
Pixellated CdZnTe detectors have shown its potential to provide excellent spectroscopic performance at University of Michigan. To minimize charge loss in the gap between pixels, steering grid was used on standard Polaris CdZnTe detectors. Steering grid is biased and placed between pixels to force electrons to drift to anode pixels so that they won't be trapped in the gap. Such design is proven to...
Large volume, pixelated Cadmium Zinc Telluride detectors have been developed over the past decade. In November of 2009, Redlen Technologies began manufacturing 130 20×20×15 mm3 CdZnTe detectors, each with a common grid between the 121 pixels, for the Polaris Project. Results for the first 65 detectors were studied to determine a set of criteria that could be used to help streamline the detector testing...
The Frequent Image Frames Enhanced Digital Orthorectified Mapping (FIFEDOM) camera was designed to provide a cost-effective remote-sensing method for accurate acquisition of forest information, such as spatial distributions of individual tree species and tree structures for forest monitoring and management. Compared with existing regular digital cameras, the FIFEDOM camera has several unique features...
