Day 593 of 1000
Christian created the poster in the image to the right to describe his undergraduate research. This is first of the two semester he will spend working on the project. A poster is required for each semesters. He will present the poster and describe his work for the poster at a symposium on Wednesday morning. Here is the poster abstract:
Spectrophotometers and infrared cameras are widely used for non-contact temperature detection. These devices have been applied to manufacturing processes monitoring in industry Bnight or smoke vision systems for the police, firefighters, and military, and many other places. However, the sensors need to be calibrated to their surroundings to collect useful information. This calibration can be performed by metering the camera with respect to a light-absorbing surface with constant temerature and constant electromagnetic emissions. This project involves building and testing a planar metering source for the described equipment which maintains enough temperature precision to allow accurate temeprature calibration while maintaining lowcost.

Nice job, Christian. It is very clear what you want to accomplish.
The only feedback: if you have a specific spectrophotometry or IR system you are planning to calibrate, it would be informative to the reader to have a picture or description of the device(s). Certainly, not a show-stopper, but curiosity is aroused.
Funny you should say this. That was EXACTLY my comment. It will all happen tomorrow, so it is too late for this time. His REAL poster will happen when he finishes his research and presents at the end of the summer symposium.
