Authors:

The invention relates to a device for the spatial, ultrasonic location of concrements found in the body of a living being, which are to be located at the focus of an ultrasonic shock wave so as to be destroyed in a lithotritor. According to the invention, an ultrasonic camera, which works in the reflection mode, is provided for the ultrasonic location procedure focal region which is adjusted to an object plane, which contains the focus of the ultrasonic shock wave. In this way, information from sectional planes of the body can be made available to the user, making it easier to position the concrement securely in the focus of the ultrasonic shock wave.

Video surveillance in elevators

October 2005

I. Radziejewski

As the demand for security increases, video surveillance in elevators increasingly becoming more important. Installing cameras in elevators requires the effective running of the video signal back to the securty or control room. Among the available options to solve this issue, the Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) is perhaps the most attractive because of its resistance to electrical interference. UTP ...

Exploring the roles in a photo elicitation dialogue

November 2010

This paper begins to delineate the different roles in a participatory research setting with a focus of using photography as a medium for an elicitation dialogue. We investigate how others have used photography and we include our own experiences of using photography explaining how it established a communication bridge between participants and researchers. Based upon a concluded case, we illustrate ... [Show full abstract] how the photographs encourage and contribute to a lively dialogue among the participants. Furthermore, we describe our reflections and considerations of the roles of the photos, the participants, and the researchers. The paper concludes on our reflections of using this approach.

An X-ray diffraction camera for fast recording of three-dimensional data

September 1968 · Journal of Scientific Instruments

With the development of fast film readers, photographic collection of x-ray data has become very attractive. Further improvement has been achieved by construction of a single crystal goniometer allowing collection of a large number of reflections on one film pack by using the oscillation technique. Overlap is greatly reduced with a special film cassette stepping device.

Harnessing mobile ubiquitous video

April 2005

Realityflythrough is a telepresence/tele-reality system that works in the dynamic, uncalibrated environments typically associated with ubiquitous computing. By opportunistically harnessing networked mobile video cameras, it allows a user to remotely and immersively explore a physical space. Live 2d video feeds are situated in a d representation of the world. Rather than try to achieve ... [Show full abstract] photorealism at every point in space, we instead focus on providing the user with a sense of how the video streams relate to one another spatially. By providing cues in the form of dynamic transitions, we can approximate photorealistic telepresence while harnessing cameras "in the wild." This paper shows that transitions between situated 2d images are sensible and provide a compelling telepresence experience.

An improvement of the characteristic of the electronic holography using a space phase modulation dev...

January 2012 · Journal of the Institute of Image Electronics Engineers of Japan

We calculate the Fourier transform of two-dimensional data from the camera input of a real three-dimensional image and create a hologram. Depending on the phase modulation, a hologram can be either a kinoform or a phase hologram. Kinoform has been studied previously. They produce a reactivation image, but matching is difficult because noise arises when using only phase information. Therefore, we ... [Show full abstract] propose a method to produce a phase hologram with a high precision system that creates a hologram based on interference fringes using the phasing and amplitude of the new system and displays the intensity distribution on a phasing device. The liquid crystal device tested with this system shows a degree of phase modulation of greater than 2π and a high diffraction efficiency. We compare the kinoform with a phase hologram using a high resolution liquid crystal device that modulates the phase and report that the phase hologram demonstrates better performance.

Plenopticon: video playback for dynamically adaptive depth-of-field

April 2014

Plenopticon is a system for video playback with dynamically adaptive depth of field, a technique allowing viewer control of the on-screen area of focus via a secondary input device such as a touchscreen or eyetracking device. Lightfield cameras allow still photographs to be re-focused once an image has been taken. This system is intended to showcase the potential of plenoptic video and provide ...

HOW PEOPLE USE DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY IN THEIR DAILY LIVES?

January 1970

To further our understanding of the use of digital cameras, this research was conducted based on a Micro-Scenario Method of how people use digital image contents. The results indicate that the potential for enjoying digital image contents have expanded; however, the ways to enjoy the contents in daily life have not become rooted into everyday life. Although the PC can be used for organizing ... [Show full abstract] digital images and also as a hub for relaying the contents to other devices that people employ to enjoy those contents, the PC is not widely used by people on a daily basis to browse the contents. Real world environments where people can enjoy digital image contents as part of their daily lives need to be further envisioned.

Experimental Demonstration of Optical Sectioning by Spatial Filtering and Its Possible Use in Transm...

April 1971 · Applied Optics

A method of spatial filtering which allows one to obtain optical cross sections of a three-dimensional object is demonstrated. The essence of the method is to photograph the object, which is illuminated by a fine pattern of light, with a camera of limited depth of field. The fine pattern appears in focus on the photographic negative of a selected cross section of the object while the foreground ... [Show full abstract] and background parts of the object are blurred. The photographic transparency is then placed in a standard spatial filtering setup, and the desired cross section thus obtained. The optical sectioning technique for generating three-dimensional images will then be compared according to information density with holographic and fly’s eye lenslet methods.

Forward Rasterization: A Reconstruction Algorithm for Image-Based Rendering

June 2001

Voicu Sebastian Popescu

In a recent alternative research path for interactive 3D graphics the scene to be rendered is described with images. Image-based rendering (IBR) is appealing since natural scenes, which are very difficult to model conventionally, can be acquired semi-automatically using cameras and other devices. Also IBR has the potential to create high-quality output images if the rendering stage can preserve ... [Show full abstract] the quality of the reference images (photographs). One promising IBR approach enhances the images with perpixel depth. This allows reprojecting or warping the color-and-depth samples from the reference image to the desired image. Image-based rendering by warping (IBRW) is the focus of this dissertation. In IBRW, simply warping the samples does not suffice for high-quality results because one must reconstruct the final image from the warped samp...

Stereo Matching of Catadioptric Panoramic Images

Shou-kang Wei

Introduction Given a panoramic stereo pair acquired with a hyperbolic mirror, we are interested in establishing a dense correspondence between the given pair. In this section we briey describe what are given, what problems we encounter and what related work appeared in the literatures. In order to have the reected optical rays intersected in the focus of the hyperboloid (i.e. the mirror), the ... [Show full abstract] perspective projection of a camera is required. Similarly for a parabolic mirror, the orthographic projection of a camera is required. The details of such a family of the acquisition models can be found in [2, 4]. Since the input images are very distort, it is almost impossible to obtain a good matching result without recovering the epipolar geometry. The epipolar geometry of such an acquisition model has been found out to be conic, i.e. given one point in one image of the pair, the possible locations of its corresponding point in the other image are either lying on a circle, ellipse,
