This prompt comes from my good friend  Karen Schwartz , who wants to know about “a time you caught your parents doing something they shouldn’t be doing.” Remember the old super 8 movie cameras from years ago? You know, the cameras with the giant flood lights. My ...

Have you ever sought a unique flair for your Midjourney creations? A way to ensure they’re not just another image in the sea of visuals? Historically, numerous experts have harnessed the capabilities of diverse cameras and films to craft masterpieces. When you integrate these tools into Mid...

Let’s get right to it. Here’s the snapshot of what lenses I keep in my camera bag, ordered by focal length: 300+ mm — Ideal for nature. 85mm — Ideal for portraits. 35mm — Ideal for street. *12–24mm — Ideal for landscape. *Software assisted p...

What is a CCTV Camera? A CCTV camera is a video surveillance system that captures and records video footage in a specific area. It is a crucial tool for monitoring and deterring criminal activities, ensuring the safety of people and properties. CCTV cameras are widely used in various se...

I still remember the moment. I was standing on a balcony, waiting for the instant to arrive. It was a few weeks into the first lockdown and the streets were tumbleweed quiet. At the time, I was living in a suburb of Paris, jobless, with little inkling of what the future would hold. Having only...

As a recap, this is Not Great. What’s supposed to happen is that the Raspberry Pi + Camera assembly connects via wi-fi to the computer and a little preview shows up on this screen. From there, you can adjust the camera settings and, after building the housing, figure out where you to point the...

When I stepped into that house, I was in my twenties, entering young adulthood. I shopped at the corner market, a family-owned store the size of our living room. I learned the precise time to show up, just as the baguettes were delivered, still steaming warm in their wrappings. I walked two blocks t...

When a camera looking at an object, it is looking at the world similar to how our eyes do. By focusing the light that’s reflected off of objects in the world. In this case, though a small pinhole, the camera focuses the light that’s reflected off to a 3D traffic sign and forms a 2D image...

Why is it important to synchronize this data? There are different reasons. One is that different sensors collect data at different rates. For instance, my LiDAR collects data at 10 Hz (10 samples per second) while my camera takes images at 3 Hz. For every image, we have about 3 point clouds. Another...

If we use a wide-open camera sensor, we will end up with blurry images, because the imaging sensor collects light rays from multiple points on the object at the same location on the sensor. The solution to this problem is to put a barrier in front of the imaging sensor with a tiny hole. The ba...

Percepting the environment around an autonomous vehicle (AV) is essential before path planning and control of the AV. There are four main sensors used for this task in AVs: Lidar, Radar, Vision and Sonar. Although there has been a debate of the sensor suite needed among the companies working on the ...

As a result, an exciting effect will occur: if the camera transmits typically, say, 25 frames per second, then as it approaches the black hole, we will receive fewer and fewer frames per second from the camera. In other words, the camera signal will experience gravitational redshift: the waveleng...

Photography can be created in various ways, Right? From digital and film to mobile and instant photography … Everyone has a moment to become a storyteller. The humble iPhone nestled in your pocket - is not merely a tool for taking photographs but a gateway to reliving the emotions and...
