The principle of structured light and triangulation is used in a wide range of 3D optical
metrology applications, such as mechanical engineering, industrial monitoring, computer …

Today, our cities are an embodiment of the complex, historical evolution of knowledge,
desires and technology. Our planned and designed activities co-evolve with our aspirations …

It is a grand challenge for an imaging system to simultaneously obtain multi-dimensional
light field information, such as depth and polarization, of a scene for the accurate perception …

Depth estimation and 3D object detection are critical for scene understanding but remain
challenging to perform with a single image due to the loss of 3D information during image …

Shape-from-focus (SFF) has widely been studied in computer vision as a passive depth
recovery and 3D reconstruction method. One of the main stages in SFF is the computation of …

Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world with apparent ease. However,
despite all of the recent advances in computer vision research, the dream of having a …

algorithms to mechanisms. Mobile robots range from the Mars Pathfinder mission's …

Ordinary cameras gather light across the area of their lens aperture, and the light striking a
given subregion of the aperture is structured somewhat differently than the light striking an …
