Thermal Imaging and AI: Introducing HADAR — With Zubin Jacob

Zubin Jacob, Purdue University Elmore Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, discusses the convergence of thermal imaging and artificial intelligence. The recently developed heat-assisted detection and ranging (HADAR) technique offers performance advantages in low-light environments, in which other modalities face drawbacks. Also, we speak with TRAQC’s Mariia Zhuldybina and Benjamin Dringoli. The company recently took first place in the 2024 SPIE Startup Challenge. TRAQC’s solution leverages THz light, offering real-time inspection capabilities for printed and additive electronics.
