Optimal Algorithm Developed for Determining Focus Error
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 27, 2011 — University of Texas researchers have discovered how to extract and use information in an individual image to determine how far objects are from the focus distance, a feat accomplished previously only by human and animal visual systems. As with a camera, the human eye has an autofocusing system, but human autofocusing rarely makes mistakes. And unlike a camera, humans do not require trial and error to focus an object. It is significant that a statistical algorithm can now determine...
Subwavelength Antenna Separates Colors of Light
GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Sept. 27, 2011 — A nanoantenna smaller than the wavelength of light has been built that can direct red and blue colors in opposite directions. The finding could lead to optical nanosensors that can detect very low concentrations of gases or biomolecules. A...
