Ex uno plures: how to construct high-speed movies of collapsing cavitation bubbles from a single image

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber

The time-resolved visualization of the dynamics of a cavitation bubble usually requires the use of expensive high-speed cameras, which often provide a limited spatial resolution. In the present study, we propose an alternative to these high-speed imaging t ...

Multi-object spectroscopic operations with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V

Luzius Gregor Kronig, Ricardo Jorge Araùjo Pereira, Loïc Grossen

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) is an all-sky spectroscopic survey of more than 6 million objects, designed to decode the history of the Milky Way, reveal the inner workings of stars, investigate the origin of solar systems, and track the growth of ...

High dynamic range image sharing with privacy protection

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evgeniy Upenik

Sharing pictures has become a very popular practice among consumers. Most recent cameras, displays, and smartphones can capture and display images in high dynamic range and wide colour gamut, contributing to an increase of this type of content. It is a wel ...

Embedded Polarizing Filters to Separate Diffuse and Specular Reflection

Adam James Scholefield, Gilles Baechler, Laurent Valentin Jospin

Polarizing filters provide a powerful way to separate diffuse and specular reflection; however, traditional methods rely on several captures and require proper alignment of the filters. Recently, camera manufacturers have proposed to embed polarizing micro ...

HDR Images for Glare Evaluation: Comparison Between DSLR Cameras, an Absolute Calibrated Luminance Camera and a Spot Luminance Meter

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Peter Hansen

User calibrated digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras are being used in visual comfort and especially for glare evaluations as affordable alternatives to high-end luminance cameras calibrated by the manufacturer itself. While the typical way for a user ...

Sampling Models in Light Fields

Zhou Xue

What is the actual information contained in light rays filling the 3-D world? Leonardo da Vinci saw the world as an infinite number of radiant pyramids caused by the objects located in it. Nowadays, the radiant pyramid is usually described as a set of ligh ...

FACT - The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (first results)

Mathieu Ribordy, Thomas Günther Bretz

In October 2011, the first air-Cherenkov telescope utilizing Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes commenced operations. The silicon-based devices display several advantages compared to classical photomultiplier tubes allowing for a more compact camera design ...

Method and system for automatic objects localization

Pierre Vandergheynst, Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Mohammad Golbabaee

A method for automatic localization of objects in a mask. The method includes building a dictionary or atoms, wherein each atom models the presence of one object at one location and iteratively determining the atom of said dictionary which is best correlat ...

From Canonical Poses to 3D Motion Capture Using a Single Camera

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit

We combine detection and tracking techniques to achieve robust 3D motion recovery of people seen from arbitrary viewpoints by a single and potentially moving camera. We rely on detecting key postures, which can be done reliably, using a motion model to inf ...

Color Image Dehazing using the Near-Infrared

Sabine Süsstrunk

In landscape photography, distant objects often appear blurred with a blue color cast, a degradation caused by atmospheric haze. To enhance image contrast, pleasantness and information content, dehazing can be performed. We propose that fusing a visible an ...

EPnP: An Accurate O(n) Solution to the PnP Problem

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit

We propose a non-iterative solution to the PnP problem-the estimation of the pose of a calibrated camera from n 3D-to-2D point correspondences-whose computational complexity grows linearly with n. This is in contrast to state-of-the-art methods that are O( ...

Tracking the free surface of time-dependent flows: Image processing for the dam-break problem

Christophe Ancey, Steve Cochard

The dam-break problem (i.e., the sudden release of a given volume of fluid down a slope) has attracted a great deal of attention from mechanicians and physicists over the past few years, with particular interest devoted to the free-surface profile and the ...

Measurements of time-dependent free-surface viscoplastic flows down steep slopes

Steve Cochard

The objective of this thesis was to increase our understanding of gravity-driven geophysical flows by developing a new platform to simulate avalanches of fluid in the laboratory. To simulate flow avalanches in the laboratory, we created a unique experiment ...
