Computer Assisted Medical Intervention (CAMI hereafter) is a complex multi-disciplinary field. CAMI research requires the collaboration of experts in several fields as diverse as medicine, computer science, mathematics, instrumentation,…
It has been observed that deep neural networks (DNNs) often use both genuine as well as spurious features. In this work, we propose "Amending Inherent Interpretability via Self-Supervised Masking" (AIM), a simple yet interestingly effective…
Industrial environments are considered to be severe from the point of view of electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation. When dealing with a wide range of industrial environments and deployment setups, ray-tracing channel emulation can capture…
A program verifier is a tool that can be used to verify that a "contract" for a program holds - i.e. given a precondition the program guarantees that a given postcondition holds - by only working at the level of the annotated program. An…
We give a gentle introduction to using various software tools for automatic differentiation (AD). Ready-to-use examples are discussed, and links to further information are presented. Our target audience includes all those who are looking…
The number of visually impaired or blind (VIB) people in the world is estimated at several hundred million. Based on a series of interviews with the VIB and developers of assistive technology, this paper provides a survey of…
This paper introduces a complete method for the automatic detection, identification and localization of lighting elements in buildings, leveraging the available building information modeling (BIM) data of a building and feeding the BIM…
Beams of radioactive heavy ions allow researchers to study rare and unstable atomic nuclei, shedding light into the internal structure of exotic nuclei and on how chemical elements are formed in stars. However, the extraction and transport…
Today, many of the aid systems deployed for visually impaired people are mostly made for a single purpose. Be it navigation, object detection, or distance perceiving. Also, most of the deployed aid systems use indoor navigation which…
Processing in Memory (PIM) and similar terms such as Compute In Memory (CIM), Logic in Memory (LIM), In Memory Computing (IMC), and Near Memory Computing (NMC) have gained attention recently as a potentially ``revolutionary new'' technique.…
A wide range of scientific imaging datasets benefit from human inspection for purposes ranging from prosaic-such as fault identification and quality inspection-to profound, enabling the discovery of new phenomena. As such, these datasets…
Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing(TVAM) is a novel manufacturing method that allows for the fast creation of objects of complex geometry in layerless fashion. The process is based on the solidification of photopolymer that…
A new software package, the Fission Induced Electromagnetic Response (FIER) code, has been developed to analytically predict delayed $\gamma$-ray spectra following fission. FIER uses evaluated nuclear data and solutions to the Bateman…
The conventional beam management procedure mandates that the user equipment (UE) periodically measure the received signal reference power (RSRP) and transmit these measurements to the base station (BS). The challenge lies in balancing the…
While ray tracing has become increasingly common and path tracing is well understood by now, a major challenge lies in crafting an easy-to-use and efficient system implementing these technologies. Following a purely physically-based…
Personal Information Management (PIM) refers to the practice and the study of the activities a person performs in order to acquire or create, store, organize, maintain, retrieve, use, and distribute information in each of its many forms…
This note explains how to obtain, install, and use the ratpoints program. The program finds rational points up to a specified height on hyperelliptic curves using a highly optimized quadratic sieving algorithm.
Traceroute is the main tools to explore Internet path. It provides limited information about each node along the path. However, Traceroute cannot go further in statistics analysis, or \emph{Man-Machine Interface (MMI)}. Indeed, there are no…
Sight is essential for humans to navigate their surrounding environment independently. Tasks that are simple for the sighted are often close to impossible for the visually impaired. Throughout the years, many researchers dedicated their…
We present an effective method for visualizing flat surfaces using ray marching. Our approach provides an intuitive way to explore translation surfaces, mirror rooms, unfolded polyhedra, and translation prisms while maintaining…
