The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore in collaboration with the NASA-Caltech from the US and Sweden’s University of Gothenburg has developed a low-cost camera setup which can provide multispectral imaging of four chemical species in a flame using single DSLR camera.
The low-cost DSLR camera device ‘CL-FRAME’ was developed after nearly three years of research in collaboration with the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and NASA-Caltech, USA.
Using only a single DSLR camera, it can simultaneously capture multiple spectral three-dimensional images of four chemical species in a flame, whereas earlier scientific imaging required a complex system with four cameras.
The cost of developing the device, put together by a five-member team of researchers, was around Rs 50,000.
