There is a general consensus that earlier detection of breast cancer should result in improved survival. Current breast imaging relies primarily on mammography. Despite better equipment and regulation, variability in interpretation and tisuue density still affect acuragy. A number of adjuvant imaging techniques are currently being used, including doppler ultrasound and gadolinium-enhanced MRI, ...

IRIS (InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph) is a first light instrument presently being developed for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). IRIS will include an integral field spectrograph and an imaging camera, covering wavelengths from 0.84 μm to 2.4 μm (infrared range). IRIS will work with the Narrow-Field Infrared Adaptive Optics System (NFIRAOS), achieving an unprecedented angular resolution [1], cre...

Far infrared imaging technology is becoming an interesting choice for many civilian uses. We explored the potential of using far infrared camera for human motion analysis, especially from the viewpoint of possible automated image and video analysis. In this article, we present the main characteristics of far infrared imagery that should be of interest to computer vision researchers and seek to ...

Recently, a problem that the infrared decoy interferes infrared detection system, cannot be solved. With the gradual application and popularity of the particle swarm optimization, it is preferable to apply it to dynamic multiobjective optimization to solve the problem of the recognition and the estimation of dynamic multi-object in infrared imaging. In this study, the dynamic multi-objective es...

Breast cancer is a major public health problem worldwide. Important advances have improved survival, but early detection remains the main clinical challenge in reducing mortality. Currently, mammography is the ‘gold standard’ tool for breast cancer screening. However, the search for an early breast cancer detection method is the subject of extensive research. Although infrared imaging or breast...

BACKGROUND Digital infrared thermal imaging is a means of measuring the heat radiated from the skin surface. Our goal was to develop and assess the reproducibility of serial infrared measurements of the knee and to assess the association of knee temperature by region of interest with radiographic severity of knee Osteoarthritis (rOA). METHODS A total of 30 women (15 Cases with symptomatic kne...

P it vipers (e.g., rattlesnakes), boas, and pythons possess facial pit organs that are part of unique infrared imaging sensors not found in any other living species. Pit organs allow these snakes to detect thermal contrast in the environment and to form spatial images of their thermal environments within infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum (1) (Figure 1). The infrared imaging syste...
