Camera that Sees through Smoke and Fog Underway
tomschuring writes "The Age has a story about IATIA, who have been given $2.7 million by the Defence Department to fund development of a military spy camera capable of seeing through fog, smoke and dust storms. The technology uses a highly sophisticated camera that captures three images simultaneously through a single lens. Images thus resolved from between the particles making up fog, smoke, and dust storms are formed into a single picture of the hidden target."
big deal i already see through smoke and fog, i just turn the sprites down
if it can what it says, there will be many other uses for this little camera; no doubt coming soon to a cellphone, I'm sure...
Anyone seen my jagged little pill?
Will this technology allow me to see through fog in OpenGL videogames? Your thoughts?
Worthwhile. So I dying. All major more. If you feel Theorists - Culture of abuse Whatever path is Arrogance was

Back at our old high school, a group of guys actually went to the effort of boring a hole through several inches of concrete separating the boys and girls' locker rooms. We would keep a patch on the peep hole, but when the coast was clear we could get a clear line of sight into the change room. MOST FUCKING AWESOME THING EVER. It was a couple years into college before I saw anything quite as awesome as what the peep hole showed us.
god bless the fucking peep hole- guys from my school, you know who you are

C. A little from A and a little from B?

I guess this could be used on cars given enough processor speed, but it's really not applicable in this case, as it yields additional information about something in a plane (parallel to the sensor of the imaging device -- imagine a brick wall ahead of you when driving). When driving, the plane, say, 50m ahead of the car is moving just as fast as you are, and seeing ultra-crisp images of that plane for the instant that it is 50m ahead would be of dubious utility imo.

Yes, but a car equipped with a beowulf cluster of these to focus on a whole lot of planes
