Rotationally resolved microwave and ultraviolet spectra of jet-cooled diphenylmethane (DPM) and DPM-d(12) have been obtained in S-0, S-1, and S-2 electronic states using Fourier-transform microwave and UV laser/molecular beam spectrometers. The S-0 and S-1 ...
3--D detection and shape recovery of a non-rigid surface from video sequences require deformation models to effectively take advantage of potentially noisy image data. Here we introduce an approach to creating such models for deformable 3--D surfaces. We e ...
A numerical and experimental investigation of the shock-IGV (inlet guide vane) interaction in a transonic compressor is conducted at the Laboratoire de Thermique Appliquée et de Turbomachines (LTT) at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Th ...
We propose a new type of “hybrid” ultrasonic driving principle for our monolithic piezoelectric actuators, which consist of simple electrode patterning on a PZT ceramic substrate The operating principle of the proposed USM is based on the conversion of ell ...
Face detection in images or video sequences is a very challenging problem. It has a wide range of applications but at the same time it presents a great number of difficulties, since faces are non-rigid and very changeable objects that can adopt a lot of di ...
Recently electrically conducting SPM probes were used as read/write sensor of magneto-resistive nanopillars and ferroelectric domains in the development of >1 Tb/inch2 data storage. Since metal coated (platinum (Pt) or Pt/iridium) silicon (Si) probes are n ...
In many 3--D object-detection and pose-estimation problems, run-time performance is of critical importance. However, there usually is time to train the system, which we will show to be very useful. Assuming that several registered images of the target obje ...
The invention relates to a surgical navigation system, comprising a microscope to which a 3D measuring apparatus is rigidly fixed, for localising objects within the field of operation. Markers are fixed to the objects the position of which is desirable to ...
The rigidity function of a matrix is defined as the minimum number of its entries that need to be changed in order to reduce the rank of the matrix to below a given parameter. Proving a strong enough lower bound on the rigidity of a matrix implies a nontri ...
