My July column (“Calibrate camera coordinates and colors”) described techniques you can use to calibrate vision systems. In some cases, though, basic calibrations do not suffice. General-purpose ...

Using entire galaxies as lenses to look at other galaxies, researchers have a newly precise way to measure the size and age of the universe and how rapidly it is expanding. The measurement determines ...

Cataracts remain a leading cause of visual impairment globally, necessitating precise and objective methods for assessing lens opacification. Recent advances in imaging, particularly through ...

OpTest systems are made up of custom optics, mechanics and electronics designed by Optikos engineers for advanced lens testing. Although other products on the market typically compromise by ...

This isn’t Google Glass in a contact lens, but it may just be Google’s first step in this direction. The company’s Google X lab just teased a smart contact lens on its blog that is meant to help ...
