A new camera system, developed by researchers in Scotland, could provides high-resolution, 3-D information about objects
that are typically very difficult to image, from up to a kilometer away. The photon-counting depth imaging system is
likely to be used for scanning static, man-made targets from afar, such as vehicles. With some modifications it could
also determine their speed and direction, or be used for remote examination of the health and volume of vegetation and
the movement of rock faces, to assess potential hazards from as far as 10 km away.
