Recording of transient absorption microscopy images requires fast detection of minute optical density changes, which is typically achieved with high-repetition-rate laser sources and lock-in detection. Here, we present a highly flexible and…
We present a scheme for fast environment light estimation from the RGBD appearance of individual objects and their local image areas. Conventional inverse rendering is too computationally demanding for real-time applications, and the…
High quality video data is a core component in emerging remote tower operations as it inherently contains a huge amount of information on which an air traffic controller can base decisions. Various digital technologies also have the…
Event cameras are novel bio-inspired sensors that offer advantages over traditional cameras (low latency, high dynamic range, low power, etc.). Optical flow estimation methods that work on packets of events trade off speed for accuracy,…
Fish products account for about 16 percent of the human diet worldwide, as of 2017. The counting action is a significant component in growing and producing these products. Growers must count the fish accurately, to do so technological…
