cosine has built deep expertise in optical design over decades. We combine optical performance with an integrated, system-level approach, so instruments don’t just look good on paper, but work reliably in real-world conditions. Our optical work supports a wide range of applications, including telescopes, cameras, laser transmitter and receiver objectives, interferometric devices, spectrometers, and laser systems.
The multi-spectral thermal infrared imager with high spatial resolution
TSCOUT is the first multi-spectral infrared imager with high resolution made for small satellites. It is designed to be operated on nano, micro and larger satellites. Making use of new developments in detector technology ...
Stray light is a big challenge for Earth observation space missions trying to measure the spectrum of Earth’s atmosphere. To counter this, the expert team at cosine has developed stray light correction algorithms and has applied them to flagship space missions for air quality.
Quickly determine realistic system performances and features
The high energy optics software simulates X and gamma-ray imaging systems based on grazing incidence scattering using the Monte Carlo technique. The software offers control of the surface properties and scattering processes at each ...
The fish industry in the Netherlands alone consists of about 300 companies that generate a total revenue of 4 billion euros. Food quality, freshness and safety are important factors in this industry.
cosine and spin-off condi food developed an objective, non-destructive inspection method to ...
It is very difficult to reflect hard X-rays and gamma rays with a mirror as they pass through most materials, but they can be diffracted by crystal planes. A so-called Laue lens uses crystals that are arranged to form a lens. However, if you use regular crystals with flat crystal planes, the ...
The imagery from three cameras is fused in order to collect a hemispherical view of the environment around train tracks. An embedded FPGA ensures that the three heads acquire the frames simultaneously, while also ensuring that each head is properly exposed to within a given tolerance to the ...
Seeking to expand their offering of high-tech forensic solutions, the Amsterdam-based Forensic Technical Solutions (FTS) asked cosine to develop a hyperspectral imaging camera. The camera can be used at a crime scene by forensic scientists to quickly determine whether possible blood traces are ...
Originally developed for the International Space Station (ISS), NightPod is an intelligent tripod head that is used to accurately rotate a SLR camera, potentially with a large tele-objective, to track objects from the ISS Cupola module. Extremely sturdy and user friendly, it can be used to ...
We used a combination of UV fluorescence and hyperspectral imaging to evaluate the severity of fungi infection on roses. This can be done automatically with the optical measurement, which has been tested by correlating the automatic scoring with the scoring from the manual inspection. These ...
The photo finish system OPTIc3 takes over the technical market leadership. It has a recording rate of up to 30,000 frames per second (fps) and up to 2,016 vertical pixels. This makes it the perfect timing device for any sport that relies on good photo finish images and accurate results. ...
The European Recording Binocular 2 (ERB2) was a stereoscopic 3D video camera built for use in space. ESA contracted cosine in September 2008 to design ERB2, after the positive results of its predecessor ERB1, which had already been operating and functional on the International Space Station ...
