IIT Indore develops low-cost camera in collaboration with Nasa, Caltech

In News
  • 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.
CL- Flam
  • The low-cost DSLR camera device 'CL-Flam' was developed after nearly three years of research in collaboration with the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and NASA-Caltech, USA.
  • The cost of developing the device, put together by a five-member team of researchers, was around Rs 50,000.
  • It can provide multispectral imaging of four chemical species in a flame using single DSLR camera.
  • 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.
  • It would come in handy for the study of combustion of fuels which in turn can lead to improvement in combustion engines to make them more efficient and reduce carbon emissions.
  • The picture of the four chemical species present in a flame can be clicked together in complete detail with this smart camera.
