We present a telepresence system based on a custom-made simulated holographic display that produces a full 3D model of the remote participants using commodity depth sensors. Our display is composed of a video projector and a quadrangular…
In this paper, we work to bring telepresence to every desktop. Unlike commercial systems, personal 3D video conferencing systems must render high-quality videos while remaining financially and computationally viable for the average…
We present a tele-immersive system that enables people to interact with each other in a virtual world using body gestures in addition to verbal communication. Beyond the obvious applications, including general online conversations and…
This paper uses a spatial Aloha model to describe a distributed autonomous wireless network in which a group of transmit-receive pairs (users) shares a common collision channel via slotted-Aloha-like random access. The objective of this…
In remote sensing applications, such as disaster detection and response, real-time efficiency and model lightweighting are of critical importance. Consequently, existing remote sensing image super-resolution methods often face a trade-off…
We present a method for real-time stereo scene capture and remote VR visualization that allows a human operator to freely move their head and thus intuitively control their perspective during teleoperation. The stereo camera is mounted on a…
Low-light image enhancement is a challenging low-level computer vision task because after we enhance the brightness of the image, we have to deal with amplified noise, color distortion, detail loss, blurred edges, shadow blocks and halo…
