aDverse wEather eNvironmental Sensing systEm (DENSE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2019,

Current driver assistance systems are not all-weather capable. They offer comfort and safety in sound environmental conditions. However, in adverse weather conditions where the accident risks are highest they malfunction or even fail. Now that we are progressing towards automated cars and work machines, the requirements of fully reliable environment perception are only accentuated. The project is ...

Integrated Spectrometers for Spectral Tissue Sensing (InSPECT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Image-guided needle procedures - such as taking biopsies in screening cancerous tumours - are becoming increasingly important in clinical practice. Today, physicians are severely hampered by the lack of precision in positioning the needle tip. Real-time tissue-characterization feedback at the needle tip during these procedures can significantly improve the outcome of diagnosis and treatment, and r ...

Smart UNattended airborne sensor Network for detection of vessels used for cross border crime and irregular entrY (SUNNY)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

The SUNNY project aims to contribute to EUROSUR by defining a new tool for collecting real-time information in operational scenarios.SUNNY represents a step beyond existing research projects due to the following main features:•A two-tier intelligent heterogeneous UAV sensor network will be considered in order to provide both large field and focused surveillance capabilities, where the first-tier ...

Sensor technologies enhanced safety and security of buildings and its occupants (SAFESENS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Apr 1, 2017,

During our life’s, both privately and professionally, we exposed to a multitude of hazardous situations. And most of the time we are not (timely) aware of the dangerous situation. One of these silent killers is definitely carbon monoxide poisoning. There is a direct societal need for home and building automation (HABA) systems equipped with ultra-sensitive, reliable gas sensors (for hazardous gase ...

MId- to NEaR infrared spectroscopy for improVed medical diAgnostics (MINERVA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

In recent years it has become clear that mid-IR imaging spectroscopy has the potential to open a new chapter in bio-medical imaging and offers an effective tool for early cancer diagnosis and improved survival rates. Rather than a search for "cancer marker" absorption peaks, great progress has been made by analysing the entire bio-molecular mid-IR spectral signature using automated algorithms. How ...

SYstem for Digitization and Diagnosis in ART Applications (SYDDARTA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

Cultural heritage monitoring comprehends a sum of technologies, protocols and studies which need to be modernized and automated to reduce costs and process time. Current spectroscopy permits the study and characterisation of the surface of artworks by the inspection of specific spectral bands, by means of different techniques. As a consequence, the sets of results are often difficult or slow to li ...

Miniaturised Structural Monitoring System with Autonomous Readout Micro-Technology and Fiber sensor network (SmartFiber)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

In this project, we will develop a smart miniaturized system which integrates optical fiber sensor technology, nano-photonic chip technology and low power wireless technology. The smart system will enable for the first time fully embedded structural health monitoring of composites used as structural parts in e.g. wind turbine blades, satellites, airplanes, civil constructions, oil and gas wells, b ...

Fire Detection and Management through a Multi-Sensor Network for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Areas from the Risk of Fire and Extreme Weather Conditions (FIRESENSE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

"The proposed project aims to develop an automatic early warning system to remotely monitor areas of archaeological and cultural interest from the risk of fire and extreme weather conditions. Since these areas have been treasured and tended for very long periods of time, they are usually surrounded by old and valuable vegetation or situated close to forest regions, which exposes them to an increas ...

PLAsmonic Innovative Sensing in the IR (PLAISIR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The aim of this project is to transfer the latest advances in plasmonics achieved in the visible to the mid-IR. The main objectives of the project are (1) to look at the fundamental limits and develop new simulation tools for plasmons in the mid-IR, (2) to develop plasmon enhanced surfaces for spectroscopic chemical sensing (SCS), and (3) to use plasmon enhanced surfaces for light harvesting techn ...

Demonstration of ANemometry InstrumEnt based on LAser (DANIELA)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"The availability of highly integrated laser and optics technology offer the prospect of increased aircraft Air Data System robustness in adverse conditions. Indeed, although critical, the system is subject to hailstone, icing, corrosion, bird collision, passenger stairs mishandling. Thus the optics technology offers the capability to improve the operational capacity and safety of the air transpor ...
