Color detection sensors are used in many applications to detect concealed items. There are many different types of color detection sensors available on the market. Most common are surface mounted ones that are designed to be mounted on a car windshield, cargo area or any other hard to reach area where you need extra vision. They are simple to use as they do not require any complex programming or wiring, although there are some that are complex requiring high level programming knowledge. However, most surface mounted detectors are quite simple to install and can be programmed in a matter of minutes.


Color detection sensors detect an item's color by using its reflected or transmitted electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic waves emitted by objects fall into a well-defined spectrum. One such type of electromagnetic wave is the infrared (IR) radiation and it has the highest wavelength that is visible to humans. This means that it has the ability to penetrate the objects that are placed between the sensing element and the target or object.

To understand the global color detection sensors and how they work we first need to understand the concept of forecasting period. Forecasting period is the time taken between two measurements, which can be in the form of hours, days or months. It can also be in the form of a year or a number of years. The bigger the forecast period the more accurate the measurement can be. One example of a time series is the rise and fall of stock prices.

Color photoelectric sensors are one of the most popular type of color detection sensors in use today. The most popular form of photoelectric sensing devices is the one which uses a series of tiny sensing devices to sense light. Each of the sensing devices will change the light it detects depending on its internal circuit design.

In most cases the light sensitive devices will detect the color of the source of illumination such as sunlight, lamp, fluorescent tube etc. The most common forms of the color detection sensors are the monochromatic infrared and the dual-mode infrared. Both these types of sensors are designed to sense light. They can be powered by the ambient light by using diode or battery or they can be operated by solar power. The monochromatic infrared is a good sensor for monitoring brightness since it does not tend to work in the presence of moisture.

Category of Sensors

Another important category of sensors is the industrial sensors which are used for various applications in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. The sensor of this category is usually a solid state device. The industrial end-user industries can benefit from the sensors such as the LUXE industrial LUXE sensors which are used for the measurement of air moisture, work flow, temperature and other parameters. Other industrial end-user industries may also use the sensors like the Smart Temp Gauge, which is an infrared temperature probe and a humidity probe. The other important sensor family is the thermoelectric sensors which measure the changes in temperature.

The third type of the industrial sensors are the optical sensors, which are used for the purpose of industrial automation. Some of the examples are the bar code scanner, optical scanner, proximity sensor, laser scanners and digital cameras. Most of the automobile industries use the bar code scanners for the industrial automation. They are useful for the easy recognition of the cars and trucks. The LED lights and their chips are also found in the automobile industries and are used for the purpose of industrial automation.

The last one is the RGB color vision sensor which measures the intensity of the light which falls on the sensor. There are many types of the industrial iris and other types of the light detection devices for the industrial sector. The industries using the color detection sensors include the automotive industry, food processing industries, healthcare and the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
