Tatton Consulting supported Quantum Solutions in its successful application to Innovate UK Smart Grants, awarded £335,840 by Innovate UK for the project SWIR-CAM: Unlocking high potential vision applications by improving affordability and adoption of Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) cameras via quantum dot technology.
About the funded R&D project
Having worked on the sensor, this project addresses the camera. A sensor becomes useful to an integrator only as part of a complete imaging system with optics, readout and interface, and the cost of that system rather than the sensor alone determines whether machine vision applications adopt short wave infrared.
