Cedip Infrared Systems joins UK Industrial Vision Association as a full member, while the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Sheffield University, joins as a Research member
Cedip Infrared Systems designs and manufactures infrared cameras and systems for both commercial and defence and security applications.
The products cover the entire infrared spectrum, with systems designed for turnkey applications.
Applications include NDT, online thermal imaging and process control, stress analysis and mechanical testing, infrared thermography and infrared signatures as well as R+D applications.
The Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Sheffield University, headed by Professor Nigel Allinson, undertakes a range of image engineering activities from imaging devices and systems to pattern recognition and image understanding.
The department leads the £4.5m Basic Technology consortium, Multidimensional Integrated Intelligent Imaging (MI-3), on the development of Active Pixel Sensors for a range of scientific and medical applications.
A system for the efficient and secure compression of crime scene marks, notably fingerprint lifts, has been developed for the Home Office and a footwear impression identification system that will be used nationally in all custody suites and for forensic work is currently under development.
Ukiva Director Don Braggins commented: "Naturally we are always delighted to welcome new members and both fit in well with our recent observations of the imaging marketplace".
"There has been a growing interest in the use of non-visible wavelength imaging in the past few years, such as infrared and X-ray".
"In addition, Research institutions are not only developing solutions which have real commercial applications, but are enabling them to get to market."
