Estimates of interstellar extinction are essential in a broad range of astronomical research. In the last decades, several maps and models of the large scale interstellar extinction in the Galaxy have been published. However, these maps and…
In this paper, we propose a method for coarse camera pose computation which is robust to viewing conditions and does not require a detailed model of the scene. This method meets the growing need of easy deployment of robotics or augmented…
A new technique is presented for producing images from interferometric data. The method, ``smear fitting'', makes the constraints necessary for interferometric imaging double as a model, with uncertainties, of the sky brightness…
Radial profiles play a crucial role in the analysis and interpretation of astronomical data, facilitating the extraction of spatial information. However, highly customizable (for different scenarios) measurements over each elliptical…
Accurate detection of large-scale, elliptical-shape fibers, including their parameters of center, orientation and major/minor axes, on the 2D cross-sectioned image slices is very important for characterizing the underlying cylinder 3D…
We present kikuchipy, an open-source toolbox for analysis of electron backscatter diffraction patterns, written in Python. The software is capable of both Hough and dictionary indexing and orientation and/or projection center refinement of…
The ATLAS Forward Physics (AFP) project plans to install 3D silicon pixel detectors about 210 m away from the interaction point and very close to the beamline (2-3 mm). This implies the need of slim edges of about 100-200 $\mu$m width for…
In this paper we present a high fidelity and articulated 3D human foot model. The model is parameterised by a disentangled latent code in terms of shape, texture and articulated pose. While high fidelity models are typically created with…
The increasing availability of high-quality optical and near-infrared spectroscopic data, as well as advances in modelling techniques, have greatly expanded the scientific potential of spectroscopic studies. However, the software tools…
In this paper, we propose a new ellipsoidal mixture model. This model is based a new probability density function belonging to the family of elliptical distributions and designed to model points spread around an ellipsoidal surface. Then,…
To automatically localize a target object in an image is crucial for many computer vision applications. To represent the 2D object, ellipse labels have recently been identified as a promising alternative to axis-aligned bounding boxes. This…
Over the past two decades, researchers in the field of visual aesthetics have studied numerous quantitative (objective) image properties and how they relate to visual aesthetic appreciation. However, results are difficult to compare between…
By measuring, modeling and interpreting cosmological datasets, one can place strong constraints on models of the Universe. Central to this effort are summary statistics such as power spectra and bispectra, which condense the…
Ellipsometry is a powerful and well-established optical technique used in the characterisation of materials. It works by combining the components of elliptically polarized light in order to draw information about the optical system. We…
In response to a concerning trend of selectively emphasizing metrics in medical image segmentation (MIS) studies, we introduce \texttt{seg-metrics}, an open-source Python package for standardized MIS model evaluation. Unlike existing…
