Whether teaching physics, chemistry, or biology, every high school science teacher is challenged to take students on a journey down to the nanoscale level where intangible, invisible forces hold sway and mysteriously result in phenomena at the macroscopic level. Think Ms. Frizzle and her Magic School Bus as her schoolchildren take the ride of their […]
Fig. 1: Thermal images in the GalleryGallery is a tool within the SmartIR app for users to manage their own thermal images, temperature graphs, and other data within the app. Unlike the default gallery in the operating system, SmartIR Gallery shows onl…
The Infrared Street View is an award-winning project recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy and subsequently funded by the National Science Foundation. The idea is to create a thermal equivalent of Google’s Street View that would serve as the star…
Fig. 1A goal of the SmartIR app is to provide basic instructional support directly in the app so that students, citizen scientists, professionals, and other users can learn what they can do with the incredible power of thermal vision beyond its convent…
I am pleased to announce Project Snake Eyes. This ambitious project aims to combine image analysis and infrared imaging to create biomimetic thermal vision — computer vision that simulates the ability of some animals such as snakes to see in darkness….
Fig. 1: The paper-on-cup experiment with SmartIRSmartIR is a smartphone app that I am developing to support infrared (IR) thermal imaging applications, primarily in the field of science and engineering, based on the FLIR ONE SDK. The development offici…
We are pleased to announce that the National Science Foundation has awarded us a two-year, $500,000 exploratory grant to develop, test, and evaluate a citizen science program that engages youth to investigate energy issues through scientific inquiry wi…
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Bowling Green State University (BGSU) and Concord Consortium (CC) an exploratory grant of $300 K to investigate how chemical imaging based on infrared (IR) thermography can be used in chemistry labs to…
