Medicine & TechnologyResearchers from the University of Irvine were able to develop a camera that takes night vision systems a step further. Read on to find out how AI technology and infrared illumination allow night-vision systems to render full-color images.
Gone are the traditional green color of night vision technology because the US Army's latest night vision goggles highlight people and weapons to help soldiers accurately discern what they’re seeing.
In the future, this bionic eye can be used for better vision prostheses and humanoid robotics. Researchers said it could surpass the sensitivity of the human eye.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, around 4,000 pedestrians are killed from road accidents each year, and most of these pedestrian deaths occur between 4 PM, 8 AM and midnight. This night vision innovation could lessen road mishaps and make car technology a little more pedestrian-centric.
