Thermal Threat Detector: Photosciences Senior Capstone

Photo Science seniors were tasked to create an imaging device that can enter a room, detect a threat, capture and send thermal images back to the user in another room. We have done so by fusing an autonomous vehicle with three thermal cameras and programmed software that allows us to view 180 degrees inside the room. At our exhibit, you can see our thermal threat detector in action as we will be giving a live demonstration of the vehicle's capabilities. You can also view yourself through the lens of a thermal camera. Come talk to the Photo Science seniors of the class of 2024, and they may even let you take the wheel!
