Hye there,
   the entry for this time is about "Electronic System in Industry" speech, given by Mr Vivek Panicker from Titan Thermal Solutions Sdn Bhd.

This is a little bit about what he had given in his speech,

• Overview of Electronic Systems
• Role of Electronics in Industry
• Overview of Imaging Industry
• Electronics within Thermal Imaging Industry

This is a copy of his slide:

The overview of electronic system.

The role of electronic in industry.

The overview of imaging industry.

The electronics within thermal imaging industry

Formula that usually been used in electronic system

For the image concepts and terms

Pixels and resolutions

Pixels & Resolution

A digital image is formed by pixels, the smallest piece of information in an image. Often represented using dots, squares or rectangles. More pixels in an image, the sharper and clearer the image is.

Video & Frames

A digital stream of video is made of a group of pictures (frames) captured across a period of time. More frames per second, the lesser the smoother in the video.

Thermal imaging

Infrared thermography (IRT), thermal imaging, and thermal video are examples of infrared imaging science. Thermal imaging cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 9,000–14,000 nanometers or 9–14 µm) and produce images of that radiation, called thermograms. Since infrared radiation is emitted by all objects above absolute zero according to the black body radiation law, thermography makes it possible to see one's environment with or without visible illumination. The amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature; therefore, thermography allows one to see variations in temperature. When viewed through a thermal imaging camera, warm objects stand out well against cooler backgrounds; humans and other warm-blooded animals become easily visible against the environment, day or night. As a result, thermography is particularly useful to military and other users of surveillance cameras.

Then after the speech,

once again Dr Kamal came and remind us about the poster assignment that he gave to us recently.

That all i can give about the class.

hope you enjoy.

now to prepare the poster.
