An Easy-to-Deploy Temporal Thermographic Data Collection and Analysis System
Published Thursday, May 3, 2018Buildings in the United States consume a significant amount of energy and release an increasing amount of CO2. Accordingly, tools and techniques have been developed to determine where energy efficiency in buildings can be improved. One such technique is thermography, where auditors determine energy inefficiency using a thermal camera that shows...

Heart Rate Measurement for Fitness Exercises using Facial Video
Published Tuesday, April 24, 2018Recent studies show that subtle changes in a human’s face color due to their heartbeat can be captured by digital cameras. Most existing work focuses on still/rest cases or those with relatively small motions. Researchers at the University of Maryland have created a heart-rate monitoring method using facial video. The method consists of...
