on the first a total of ten russian companies were singled out at the tech success . organizers designed the competition to acknowledge the country's fastest developing and most innovative small and medium sized businesses as well as boost their profile on the world stage coming into the ceremony the list had already been whittled down to thirty companies which represented the entire spectrum of industries and regions across russia. so created a company hardware maker enter school and a handful of medical firms on the lookout for the next device on made to keep us all on our feet another one of those in the top ten c l r. electronic archive. catalog it's also one of the leaders. with partners l r co-produce is.

all about documentation files for. you can also be used for some of the more cultured things. for example the push to museum of fine art in moscow is in the process of digitizing many of its most treasured works capturing the timeless beauty of the paintings and objects that grace its walls and holes requires more than just a simple camera. until the two thousand. their own the me too thousands. proved to the point.

as far as we know everyone switched to digital devices. there's a wide range of devices he. presents. unmatched anywhere in the world. digitization needs a push to museum has turned to a. company specializing in super high resolution images they claim their system is the best way to get a top notch completely objective representation of priceless pieces of art. don't have to take the paintings down through the walls they do need to set up and calibrate the light just right doing so ensures the resulting image is an entirely accurate reproduction of the painting as it is in real life but today the resolution of even the best is really exceeds. the museum's purposes

simply isn't enough. to develop an entire set of technologies that allows their technicians to boost picture resolution without warping the image or losing any data through stitching software composition this requires a bit more ingenuity than you might think. instead of just snapping the whole painting at those takes individual pictures of each section to avoid distorting the original demands what's called the shift. at the root is a camera with the usual c.c.d. sensor which is what converts to incoming photons into a digital image however the lens itself is made to rotate around the center and information to the stationary c.c.d. sensor the more separate pictures the higher the resolution. of painting twelve sections two hundred forty megapixel picture such a clear image. damage. come to the conclusion that the different pieces of

in places like the fair a pint of monastery technology ensures that no detail is left behind the aging interiors of this beautiful example of medieval russian art has been filmed and put on display for all to see and treasure. here still use the same shift lynn set up to take additional steps to ensure light is properly evenly cast on the segment that they're filming the images they get are indispensable for stores as they study and understand what exactly needs to be done to keep things like the dionysus fresco around for future generations to enjoy. and the technology employed here has benefits if you never make it out to the fair part of monastery yourself thanks to episodes pictures you can explore the walls that are survive centuries and you can rest assured knowing that you're seeing the frescoes exactly as they are in real life the color palette is a difficult the lighting presents the image as it was intended. and crucially the proper perspective of the arcs and curves are kept intact as

a result of the shift lens. therefore you could almost feel the glare of heavenly inspiration jumping out through your screen. but there's another kind of scanning out there that involves the near constant monitoring of the skies this is the moscow ground station of a company called scan x. which is recognized as one of the top thirty innovative companies that take success and we mentioned earlier it all started with rather simple computerized weather stations worked out by moscow state university researchers in one thousand nine hundred one the company developed these helix shaped weather data reception stations which proved useful for schools and state agencies alike but their big breakthrough came in the mid ninety's when they decide to revolutionize the field of data reception. was. designed and built a so-called personal data reception station but it was unlike others in that it was much smaller for example as there is so three satellite reception stations measure twelve damage one like this one which is about three meters and needed while one

to reach those who need them faster and more conveniently than otherwise possible but they're more than just space imaging middle men there are technicians have to rework the pics to highlight just what they're looking for. their images which can be a static the stunning in their own right can serve a myriad of purposes many of the space snippets are for government watchdogs but they can also be used by concerned citizens in groups to spot illegal deforestation or even track poachers over their most recognizable alternative applications is likely internet mapping services which they provide for russia's donat online matchmakers yandex scanning says presence on the market has been driving the industry forward with their strategy having been dictated by financial constraints early on their no helping push a slimmer more effective approach to space imaging. basically dimona polis the market access to data. data went to one big national center then it was either so little distributed freely or depending on whatever the government policy was and by

the way in many countries it still works that way and we have given you this want let's say particularly well off that what you need to to get this data on their personal computers is a fundamental change whether good or bad people are going to use it to their benefit depends on us. and how we teach people to use it but it's for the best way we can't ignore the problems that the old faces in a war. that montra lies at the heart of scan x. is cause muslims are you web sites where anyone can monitor potential environmental problems they've created a similar site especially for government agencies to keep an eye on emergency situations for space there's nowhere for forest fires to hide and scan it's can also help both the authorities and anyone really capture things like oil spills which may not necessarily be obvious to the untrained eye on first glance. then of course some of their shots can be used to simply check up on how construction is

progressing in preparation for the olympic games in sochi with two years left until the opening ceremony you can witness the landscape being changed right before your eyes. over the years scan it has accumulated a sizeable archive of all the uploaded data all told they've got more than two hundred terabytes of space images on record all of which they hope will make the world a more transparent place. for turning their attention back to the open innovations forum given that it was spread out over some twenty thousand square meters of exhibition space and there were more than one thousand innovative works on display we probably could have done several shows just on the companies and technology present over the coming months don't be too surprised to see more about some of those innovators mentioned at the top. despite what event organizers would have liked not all big announcements were emitting from moscow there were quite a few other important bits of news items in the world of tech recently as well more
