A modification to the standard Bayer CFA and photodiode structure for CMOS image sensors is proposed, which we call 2PFC™, meaning “Two Pixel, Full Color”. The blue and red filters of the Bayer pattern are replaced by magenta filters. Under each magenta fi ...
We present a sample of i(775)-dropout candidates identified in five Hubble Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) fields centered on Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) at redshift z similar to 6. Our fields are as deep as the GOODS ACS images ...
A system is presented to detect and match any objects with mobile cameras collaborating with fixed cameras observing the same scene. No training data is needed. Various object descriptors are studied based on grids of region descriptors. Region descriptors ...
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, ...
In nature strong colors play an important role in scaring away predators or finding a mate. Often, the strongest and brightest colors arise from coherent scattering and reflection on periodic structures on a length scale of several micro- or nanometers. Un ...
The Yule-Nielsen modified Spectral Neugebauer reflection prediction model enhanced with an ink spreading model provides high accuracy when predicting reflectance spectra from ink surface coverages. In the present contribution, we try to inverse the model, ...
