High visibility speed cameras may increase road deaths
Government plans to increase the visibility of speed cameras and ban dummy warning signs on roads where there are no cameras may increase deaths and injuries on the road, according to a letter in this week’s BMJ. Speed cameras will now be painted yellow and must be visible from a distance of up to 100m. Police forces will also be forbidden... view more... (2002-05-07)

New Device could revolutionise eye disease diagnosis-creating eye maps on the high street
A new digital ophthalmoscope, devised by a research team led by the University of Warwick can provide both doctors and high street optometrists with a hand held eye disease diagnosis device equal to the power of bulky hospital based eye diagnosis cameras. It will also give optometrists the ability to email detailed eye maps of patients to... view more... (2007-03-06)

UCF, Holochip Corp. announce global licensing agreement for zoom lens patents
The University of Central Florida has signed a licensing agreement with Holochip Corp. for a portfolio of technologies that will allow zoom lenses, such as those used in digital cameras and camera phones, to be manufactured at a dramatically smaller size without compromising clarity.   view more (2007-07-23)

Measuring in 3-D
Today, complex optical free-form geometries are used primarily in car headlamps and in optics for cameras and digital projectors. These optical components are expensive to manufacture and to test.   view more (2008-04-17)

Digital Mammography Plus Digital Breast Tomosynthesis May Decrease Patient Recall Rates
Nationally, about ten percent of women in the US are recalled for a second mammogram after an abnormality is detected on the first one-for most women this can be very stressful.   view more (2009-08-06)

Interpretation Time for Screening Digital Mammograms: Is it Efficient?
Digital mammograms take longer to interpret than film-screen mammograms, according to a study performed at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.   view more (2009-01-07)

Stanford researchers developing 3-D camera with 12,616 lenses
The camera you own has one main lens and produces a flat, two-dimensional photograph, whether you hold it in your hand or view it on your computer screen. On the other hand, a camera with two lenses (or two cameras placed apart from each other) can take more interesting 3-D photos.   view more (2008-03-20)

Extras for premiere digital film production
Film-makers often prefer tried-and-tested analogue technology. But they may change when they see a new electronic production system. An IST Prize 2005 nominee combining the best from the analogue and digital worlds, it results in more flexible shooting and editing, and innovative 3D and motion effects.   view more (2004-12-22)

Binghamton University research links digital images and cameras
Child pornographers will soon have a harder time escaping prosecution thanks to a stunning new technology in development at Binghamton University, State University of New York, that can reliably link digital images to the camera with which they were taken, in much the same way that tell-tale scratches are used by forensic examiners to link bullets... view more...

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) announced today that it is hosting a launch reception at the House of Commons on Wednesday 27th February 2002 as part of its activities to highlight digital preservation, and the work of the Coalition and its members. The evening will raise awareness of the importance of urgent and concerted action to... view more... (2002-02-11)

Hi-tech 'watermark' will expose digital images that have been tampered with
Digital images that have been tampered with could now be spotted - thanks to a digital 'watermark' developed by UK scientists    Digital images such as CCTV footage are increasingly being used as evidence in high profile court cases. However, it is easy to tamper with an image and very difficult to tell if any manipulation has taken... view more... (2002-06-26)

Press Conference: Digital Radio Mondiale To Reveal Latest Progress Toward Digital AM
