A unidirectional imager would only permit image formation along one direction, from an input field-of-view (FOV) A to an output FOV B, and in the reverse path, the image formation would be blocked. Here, we report the first demonstration of…
Precise calibration is a must for high reliance 3D computer vision algorithms. A challenging case is when the camera is behind a protective glass or transparent object: due to refraction, the image is heavily distorted; the pinhole camera…
