Results of the prototype camera for FACT

Werner Lustermann, Mathieu Ribordy, Thomas Günther Bretz

The maximization of the photon detection efficiency (PDE) is a key issue in the development of cameras for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiodes (G-APD) are a promising candidate to replace the commonly used photomulti ...

Distributed Sensor Perception via Sparse Representation

Michael Christoph Gastpar

In this paper, sensor network scenarios are considered where the underlying signals of interest exhibit a degree of sparsity, which means that in an appropriate basis, they can be expressed in terms of a small number of nonzero coefficients. Following the ...

From Canonical Poses to 3D Motion Capture Using a Single Camera

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Andrea Fossati, Miodrag Dimitrijevic

We combine detection and tracking techniques to achieve robust 3D motion recovery of people seen from arbitrary viewpoints by a single and potentially moving camera. We rely on detecting key postures, which can be done reliably, using a motion model to inf ...

Material-Based Object Segmentation Using Near-Infrared Information

Sabine Süsstrunk, Neda Salamati

We present a framework to incorporate near-infrared (NIR) information into algorithms to better segment objects by isolating material boundaries from color and shadow edges. Most segmentation algorithms assign individual regions to parts of the object that ...

Vision-based control of near-obstacle flight

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Antoine Beyeler

This paper presents a novel control strategy, which we call optiPilot, for autonomous flight in the vicinity of obstacles. Most existing autopilots rely on a complete 6-degree-of-freedom state estimation using a GPS and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) a ...
