New optics solution from VTT - 360-degree panoramic view onto single sensor matrix

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a new solution for thermal infrared applications, making it possible to fold a 360-degree panoramic view on a single sensor matrix. The concept guaranteeing optimal image quality is especially suitable for security, surveillance, military, and building diagnostic applications, where the objects to be imaged lie in the horizontal directions from the camera.In thermal imaging, infrared radiation emitted by objects being imaged is detected and used for showing the temperature variations of the target scene in the form of an image. The

A new tool from VTT for the economic evaluation of security solutions for urban areas

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd has developed an economic evaluation procedure, RESEC, to enable authorities, urban security planners, and risk management professionals to evaluate the costs and benefits of security solutions for urban environments. Urbanisation provides benefits through the centralisation of people, activities and capital. Meanwhile, as cities grow, natural disasters and intentional criminal acts can have more severe short-term impacts on and larger-scale consequences for economic growth and welfare as well as urban security. RESEC – a procedure and

Asqella spinning out new security screening technology developed at VTT – substantial funding provided

Asqella, a spin-off of VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, sells revolutionary passive THz imaging systems capable of remote detection of items concealed about the body. The company has received nearly one million euros funding from an angel syndicate, VTT Ventures and Tekes – the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation. The company sees major market potential in applications such as high-throughput screening in loss prevention, event security, and security in public places.
