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 ...

State of the Art in Dense Monocular Non-Rigid 3D Reconstruction

Pascal Fua

3D reconstruction of deformable (or non-rigid) scenes from a set of monocular 2D image observations is a long-standing and actively researched area of computer vision and graphics. It is an ill-posed inverse problem, since-without additional prior assumpti ...

Säntis lightning research facility: a summary of the first ten years and future outlook

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

The Säntis Tower was instrumented in May 2010 to measure currents of lightning discharges striking the structure. Since then, the system has been recurrently updated and expanded. Presently, data associated with lightning striking the tower are collected a ...

Genetically encoded betaxanthin-based small-molecular fluorescent reporter for mammalian cells

Karl Gademann, Leo Scheller

We designed and engineered a dye production cassette encoding a heterologous pathway, including human tyrosine hydroxylase and Amanita muscaria 4,5-DOPA dioxygenase, for the biosynthesis of the betaxanthin family of plant and fungal pigments in mammalian c ...

Camera Calibration Models and Methods for Corridor Mapping with UAVs

Jan Skaloud, Davide Antonio Cucci, Emmanuel Pierre Quentin Clédat

Camera calibration refers to the modeling of the relationship between the coordinates of object points and their projections on the image plane. This is usually done by parametric models that describe the physical properties of the lens systems and camera ...

The virtual frame technique: ultrafast imaging with any camera

John Martin Kolinski

Many phenomena of interest in nature and industry occur rapidly and are difficult and cost-prohibitive to visualize properly without specialized cameras. Here we describe in detail the virtual frame technique (VFT), a simple, useful, and accessible mode of ...

WILDTRACK: A Multi-camera HD Dataset for Dense Unscripted Pedestrian Detection

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Tatjana Chavdarova, Andrii Maksai, Cijo Jose

People detection methods are highly sensitive to occlusions between pedestrians, which are extremely frequent in many situations where cameras have to be mounted at a limited height. The reduction of camera prices allows for the generalization of static mu ...

Turning a normal microscope into a super-resolution instrument using a scanning microlens array

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Gergely Huszka

We report dielectric microsphere array-based optical super-resolution microscopy. A dielectric microsphere that is placed on a sample is known to generate a virtual image with resolution better than the optical diffraction limit. However, a limitation of s ...

On-Board Vision-Based 3D Relative Localization System for Multiple Quadrotors

Alcherio Martinoli, Duarte Da Cruz Baptista Dias

This work proposes a novel relative localization system, based on active markers and an on-board camera, for tracking multiple quadrotors in a limited field of view. The system extracts the 3D poses of the markers including one that, by pulsating at a pred ...
