At our last meeting we hosted a talk by Barry Dudley: 'Imaging in Africa'. Barry outlined the various uses of advanced imaging solutions for measurement and control. Some of the topics included: image analysis: (counting and sizing); accept/reject systems; stack emissions; forest fire detection; licence plate recognition; facial identification and other aspects of verification. One of the highlights was the practical demonstration of the technology in action using examples from KZN sites with end-users on hand to share their experiences.
