After a week holiday, to be truth, I am not ready to enter a class. My mind still at home. hmmm.
For this week, we had an invited speaker from MIMOS. What is Mimos? I even dont know :P but Mimos is popular for its efforts on developing technology platforms.Soon we arrived at class at 9 am, our invited speaker still dont came. We was informed that the speaker will arriving at 10 am. So to not waste a time, Dr Kamal talk about our industrial visit next week. Maybe we will go to Canon. yeayyy ! :) Then Dr Kamal asked us what is difference between MJIIT and the other university. Zulhafizan is the first lucky one to answer this question. He seemed quite nervous but he still managed to answer well. Eventhough I’m not asked, but I do think that MJIIT distinctiveness is vivid. From the construction of the building itself to the teaching and learning method used here.
MJIIT is different from other faculty at UTM JB, because MJIIT provide us with a Japanese culture. Even my advisor is Prof from Japan which is Prof Dr. Tatsuo Kitajima. After that, Dr. Kamal also talked about how ethics and morals are more vital values compared to wealthiness for peoples to look up to.
At 10 am, our invited speaker enter the room. Dr Kamal gave a little briefing about him.
he was Mr Vivek Panicker
an important person from Titan Thermal Solutions (TTS) Sdn Bhd
Mr Vivek is giving us talk about . Mr Vivek will explain to us 4 topics which are :
i) Overview of Electronic Systems
iii) Overview of Imaging Industry
iv) Electronics within Thermal Imaging Industry
Overview of Electronic Systems
-From wikipedia electronic means "electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, and associated passive interconnection technologies"
-Electronic systems are a group of electronic circuits designed for a specific purpose.
Mr Vivek then told us four more points which are :
* Electronic system is a fundamental to our daily life
* It have played a key role in advancement of technology
* It have replaced previous systems and are more integrated into current society
* It also will be a mainstay in future development
Progression of electronic systems :
- Electronic object has changed from a large component to a smaller size the become mini size. From a simple structure has turn to a complex structure, and from analog system has change to digital system.
Role of Electronics in Industry
* Vital to current information and technology era
* Penetrated seamlessly through various industries
* A catalsys to enhanced production and productivity within the industry
* Most industries today are heavily dependent on Electronics
Conventional classified into consumer, industrial, defence, communications and Information Processing Systems.
Modern day medical, imaging, transportation and power utilities segments are classified individual
For the foremost, electronic systems play two crucial past in industry which are :
- as a platform for development of design of new systems
- as means to increase productivity of current systems
Overview of Imaging Industry
Next, Mr Vivek turn to the third topic which is Overview of Imaging Industry.Mr Vivek told us that imaging is the representation of an objects's outward form. We have various types of imaging around us which are :
* Chemical Imaging , the simultaneous measurement of spectra and pictures
* Digital Imaging , creating digital images, generally by scanning or trough digital photography
* Geophysical Imaging
* Medical Imaging , creating images of the human body or parts of it, to diagnose or examine disease
* Molecular Imaging
* Optical Imaging
* Radar Imagine , or imaging radar for obtaining an image of an object, not just its location and speed
* Thermography
- Advent of electronics, moved imaging into new heights
- Development of new methodologies
- Moved imaging technology into new wavelength spectrums for commercial usage
More pixels in image, the sharper and clearer the image.
The second is about video & frames. Mr Vivek said a digital stream of video is made of a group of pictures (frames) captured across a period of time.
Mr Vivek told us there is advantage of electronics in imaging industry. As we know, imaging industries requires processing huge quantities of data in a short span. Electronics eases these complexities hence making imaging technology affordable.
Electronics within Thermal Imaging Industry
* Thermal Imaging originally a spin-off defence electronics
* Makes use of wavelengths in 7-14 µm to form an image
* Sensors make use of focal plane arrays and are commonly Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs)
* Often referred to as a "dirty imaging system" compared to CCD and CMOS architectures
Mr Vivek explain that a lot of pre and post processing of data is required. Thermal requires Non-Uniformity Calibration (NUC) on data stream. Data varies in state and space. Enables implementation of intensive algorithms such as Kalman filters, Edge Detection, Neural Network Modeling.
Equations are expanded into models that are described in electronics :
* Sensors make use of focal plane arrays and are commonly Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs)
* Often referred to as a "dirty imaging system" compared to CCD and CMOS architectures
There is an equation for thermal imaging :

Electronic processing data allows thermal imaging to be used in various other industries :
Maintenance Research & Development (R&D)
Medical Research
* It has been proved that electronics & the advancement of technology has huge impact on Thermal Industry.
* It is growth from Solid State Devices - Material Science & Development - Digital Imaging Methodologies.
After that, class is finished. A lot of information have we get from Mr Vivek. What an exciting talk. Here I show you several pictures that was taken during the talk :
