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

Leo Scheller, Karl Gademann, Simon Sieber

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 ...

A Comprehensive Experimental and Reproducible Study on Selfie Biometrics in Multistream and Heterogeneous Settings

Sébastien Marcel, Guillaume Heusch, Tiago De Freitas Pereira

This contribution presents a new database to address current challenges in face recognition. It contains face video sequences of 75 individuals acquired either through a laptop webcam or when mimicking the front-facing camera of a smartphone. Sequences hav ...

Joint Acquisition of Color and Near-Infrared Images on a Single Sensor

Zahra Sadeghipoor Kermani

In the past few years, fusing NIR and color images has been explored in general computational photography and computer vision tasks, where traditionally only color images are used. The additional information provided by the differences of light and scene r ...

Temporal Analysis of Motif Mixtures using Dirichlet Processes

Jean-Marc Odobez, Jagannadan Varadarajan, Rémi Emonet

In this article, we present a new model for unsupervised discovery of recurrent temporal patterns (or motifs) in time series (or documents). The model is designed to handle the difficult case of multivariate time series obtained from a mixture of activitie ...

Semantic Awareness for Automatic Image Interpretation

Albrecht Johannes Lindner

Finding relations between image semantics and image characteristics is a problem of long standing in computer vision and related fields. Despite persistent efforts and significant advances in the field, today’s computers are still strikingly unable to achi ...

Design and Implementation of Multi-camera Systems Distributed over a Spherical Geometry

Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici, Hossein Afshari, Kerem Seyid

The current trend in constructing high-end computing systems consists of parallelizing large numbers of processors. A similar trend is observed in digital imaging where multiple camera inputs are utilized to obtain multiple images of a scene and thus enhan ...

Image-Based Mobile Service: Automatic Text Extraction and Translation

Jérôme Berclaz

We present a new mobile service for the translation of text from images taken by consumer-grade cell-phone cameras. Such capability represents a new paradigm for users where a simple image provides the basis for a service. The ubiquity and ease of use of c ...

Cascade of Descriptors to Detect and Track Objects Across Any Network of Cameras

Michel Bierlaire, Pierre Vandergheynst, Murat Kunt, Alexandre Massoud Alahi

Most of the multi-camera systems assume a well structured environment to detect and match objects across cameras. Cameras need to be fixed and calibrated. In this work, a novel system is presented to detect and match any objects in a network of uncalibrate ...

Intelligent switch: An algorithm to provide the best third-person perspective in augmented reality

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

Augmented reality (AR) environments are suffering from a limited workspace. In addition, registration issues are also increased by the use of a mobile camera on the user that provides a first-person perspective (1PP). Using several fixed cameras reduces th ...

Designable Visual Markers

Jeffrey Huang, Enrico Costanza

Visual markers are graphic symbols designed to be easily recognised by machines. They are traditionally used to,track goods, but there is increasing interest in their application to mobile HCI. By scanning a visual marker through a camera phone, users can ...

A Master-Slave Approach for Object Detection and Matching with Fixed and Mobile Cameras

Michel Bierlaire, Murat Kunt, Alexandre Massoud Alahi

Typical object detection algorithms on mobile cameras suffer from the lack of a-priori knowledge on the object to be detected. The variability in the shape, pose, color distribution, and behavior affect the robustness of the detection process. In general, ...

Advances in top-down and bottom-up approaches to video-based camera tracking

David Marimon Sanjuan

Video-based camera tracking consists in trailing the three dimensional pose followed by a mobile camera using video as sole input. In order to estimate the pose of a camera with respect to a real scene, one or more three dimensional references are needed. ...
