the first a total of ten russian companies were singled out at the tech success. and 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 thirty companies which represented the entire spectrum of industries and regions across russia to. create a company hardware maker enter school and a handful of medical firms on the lookout for the next device are made to keep us all on our feet another one of those in the. electronic archive. catalog but it's also one of the. co-producers these.

as far as we know everyone switched to digital devices. there is a wide range of devices he. presents. unmatched anywhere in the world. digitization needs the pushkin museum has turned to. 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 from 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. exceeds twenty. for many museums 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. distorting the original demands what's called a 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 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

inspiration jumping out through your screen. but there's another kind of scanning out there one that involves a 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 tech 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

hundred people to maintain it what they want to have achieved is that even a person who is not very good with computers. parade the system in the course of two days but it can also be installed on any street small size and weight. as satellites cas overhead images from space are being down to scale x. is receivers for this company the main idea is to be able to get the pics in real time and they have to set up a network big enough to spend the entire country. in russia itself to scan this equipment the sky is full for its own centers as for the kids for universities as well as state weather emergency resource monitoring agencies in total schelling's has played over two hundred fifty stations across the globe. really doesn't operate its own satellite. what it does do is allow for the images to reach those who need them faster and more conveniently than otherwise possible but they're more

than just space imaging middle they're technicians have to rework the pics to highlight just what they're looking for. their images which can be a statically stunning in their own right can serve a myriad of purposes many of the space defense 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 dominant online matchmakers yandex scale its 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 was basically dimona polis the market for access to data. data went to one big national center then it was either so little distributed freely or depending on what the government policy was and by
5:40 pm
the way in many countries it still works that way but 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 and it was more. that mantra lies at the heart of scan x. is cause are you websites 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 going to also help both the authorities and anyone who really captures 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. through your attention to 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 a meeting from moscow there were quite a few other important bits of news items in the world of tech recently as well more on them right after the break.
