SoDaCam: Software-defined Cameras via Single-Photon Imaging

Claudio Bruschini, Edoardo Charbon, Andrei Ardelean, Mohit Gupta

Reinterpretable cameras are defined by their post-processing capabilities that exceed traditional imaging. We present "SoDaCam" that provides reinterpretable cameras at the granularity of photons, from photon-cubes acquired by single-photon devices. Photon ...

Individual differences in the Müller-Lyer and Ponzo illusions are stable across different contexts

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

Vision scientists have attempted to classify visual illusions according to certain aspects, such as brightness or spatial features. For example, Piaget proposed that visual illusion magnitudes either decrease or increase with age. Subsequently, it was sugg ...

Coherent Structure Interaction During Unsteady Separation

Karen Ann J Mulleners

Unsteady flow separation in rotationally augmented flow fields plays a significant role in the aerodynamic performance of industrial rotors, including wind turbines. Current computational models underestimate the aerodynamic loads due to the inaccurate pre ...

Learning Trajectory Dependencies for Human Motion Prediction

Mathieu Salzmann, Hongwei Li, Wei Mao

Human motion prediction, i.e., forecasting future body poses given observed pose sequence, has typically been tackled with recurrent neural networks (RNNs). However, as evidenced by prior work, the resulted RNN models suffer from prediction errors accumula ...

An inertial sensor-based system for spatio-temporal analysis in classic cross-country skiing diagonal technique

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Julien Chardonnens, Benedikt Fasel

The present study proposes a method based on ski fixed inertial sensors to automatically compute spatio-temporal parameters (phase durations, cycle speed and cycle length) for the diagonal stride in classical cross-country skiing. The proposed system was v ...

Extremal behavior of squared Bessel processes attracted by the Brown-Resnick process

Sebastian Engelke

The convergence of properly time-scaled and normalized maxima of independent standard Brownian motions to the Brown-Resnick process is well-known in the literature. In this paper, we study the extremal functional behavior of non-Gaussian processes, namely ...

Advances in digital SiPMs and their application in biomedical imaging

Edoardo Charbon

Similar to analog silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), digital SiPMs (dSiPMs) essentially consist of an array of single-photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs). Instead of a passive quench resistor, however, an active quenching circuit is locally integrated with ...

Leveraging Colour Segmentation for Upper-Body Detection

Jean-Marc Odobez

This paper presents an upper-body detection algorithm that extends classical shape-based detectors through the use of additional semantic colour segmentation cues. More precisely, candidate upper-body image patches produced by a base detector are soft-segm ...

Scale Invariant Feature Transform on the Sphere: Theory and Applications

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Michel Bierlaire, Iva Bogdanova Vandergheynst, Javier Cruz Mota

A SIFT algorithm in spherical coordinates for omnidirectional images is proposed. This algorithm can generate two types of local descriptors, Local Spherical Descriptors and Local Planar Descriptors. With the first ones, point matching between two omnidire ...

Optimally Localized Wavelets and Smoothing Kernels

Kunal Narayan Chaudhury

It is well-known that the Gaussian functions and, more generally, their modulations-translations (the Gabor functions) have the unique property of being optimally localized in space and frequency in the sense of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. In this ...

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

Murat Kunt, Michel Bierlaire, Pierre Vandergheynst, 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 ...
