TripleH Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I have recently finally come up with a research question for my physics EE: "Investigating motion-detection through IR-emission and reception, considering speed and qualities of the moving object." My plan is to put up an IR-emitting and an IR-receiving circuit. When the Infrared transmission to the receiver is broken off, it will signal this. My assumption is that this method will fail detecting motion of very thin and transparent objects, with a low refractive index. So my EE will basically be about finding the limits of this method of motion-detection. Any criticism? Any input? Thanks in advance. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I think the object should be opaque to infrared (which may be different to what is opaque to visible). It probably also assumes some shape the object takes. It sounds interesting! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
