Engineers has developed a 3D-printing method that uses light to make objects out of opaque resin in a matter of seconds. Their breakthrough could have promising applications in the biomedical industry ...

If you think X-rays and other forms of radiation have a monopoly on penetrating opaque objects, visible light begs to differ. It actually can pass through things like paint and human tissue, which ...

The system can't pick up transparent or reflective objects as efficiently as opaque objects, said Thomas Weng, a Ph.D. student in robotics.

National Recovery Technologies (NRT), Nashville, Tennessee, has added the ColorPlus- R to the company’s product offering. Similar to the ColorPlus, the ColorPlus-R uses an image processing system to ...

Some things we consider opaque – “not able to be seen through”, in the New Oxford Dictionary of English definition – are slightly translucent, meaning some light does in fact make it through.

The clip presents some examples of reflective objects, which cause light to ‘bounce off’ them. The commentary introduces some key vocabulary: ‘transparent’, ‘opaque’ and ‘reflective’.

The team trained the system on a combination of depth camera images of opaque objects and color images of the same items. This allowed it to infer different 3D shapes from the images — and the ...
