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 ...

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 ...

Moiré effects produced by superpositions of micro-lens arrays

Thomas Walger

Moiré effects result from the superimposition of repetitive structures. The beauty of these moirés comes from the fact that macroscopic shapes seem to appear from the superposition of layers containing microscopic patterns. In addition, the moirés are dyna ...

Are Existing Monocular Computer Vision-Based 3D Motion Capture Approaches Ready for Deployment? A Methodological Study on the Example of Alpine Skiing

Pascal Fua, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Mirela Ostrek

In this study, we compared a monocular computer vision (MCV)-based approach with the golden standard for collecting kinematic data on ski tracks (i.e., video-based stereophotogrammetry) and assessed its deployment readiness for answering applied research q ...

1D moiré shapes by superposed layers of micro-lenses

Jürgen Brugger, Roger Hersch, Thomas Walger, Valentin Flauraud, Théophane Besson

Two superposed layers of transparent cylindrical lenslet gratings create classical moiré fringes, when illuminated from behind. We rely on this observation to conceive special devices made of superposed lenslet gratings that produce animated moirés when th ...

Hough Forest With Optimized Leaves for Global Hand Pose Estimation With Arbitrary Postures

Daniel Thalmann, Hui Liang, Jun Lee

Vision-based hand pose estimation is important in human-computer interaction. While many recent works focus on full degree-of-freedom hand pose estimation, robust estimation of global hand pose remains a challenging problem. This paper presents a novel alg ...

Embedded Polarizing Filters to Separate Diffuse and Specular Reflection

Laurent Valentin Jospin, Adam James Scholefield, Gilles Baechler

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 ...
