Light induced fluidic waveguide coupling

Christophe Moser, Eric Tremblay, Volker Günter Zagolla

We report on the development of an opto-fluidic waveguide coupling mechanism for planar solar concentration. This mechanism is self-adaptive and light-responsive to efficiently maintain waveguide coupling and concentration independent of incoming light's d ...

Method and system for recommending a product based upon skin color estimated from an image

Sabine Süsstrunk

Embodiments of the present invention recite a computer implemented method for recommending a product based upon skin color estimated from a single captured image. In one embodiment of the present invention, a skin color estimate, which is generated from a ...

Resolving Ambiguities in Monocular 3D Reconstruction of Deformable Surfaces

Aydin Varol

In this thesis, we focus on the problem of recovering 3D shapes of deformable surfaces from a single camera. This problem is known to be ill-posed as for a given 2D input image there exist many 3D shapes that give visually identical projections. We present ...

Electronics for the camera of the First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) for ground based gamma-ray astronomy

Werner Lustermann, Mathieu Ribordy, Thomas Günther Bretz

Within the FACT project, we construct a new type of camera based on Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (G-APDs). Compared to photomultipliers, G-APDs are more robust, need a lower operation voltage and have the potential of higher photon-detection efficienc ...

Quantitative Comparison of Commercial CCD and Custom-Designed CMOS Camera for Biological Applications

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, René Beuchat, Yusuf Leblebici, Gözen Köklü, Julien Michel Ghaye

In biological applications and systems where even the smallest details have a meaning, CCD cameras are mostly preferred and they hold most of the market share despite their high costs. In this paper, we propose a custom-designed CMOS camera to compete with ...

G-APDs in Cherenkov astronomy: The FACT camera

Werner Lustermann, Mathieu Ribordy, Thomas Günther Bretz

Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (G-APD, SiPM) are a much discussed alternative to photomultiplier tubes in Cherenkov astronomy. The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) collaboration builds a camera based on a hexagonal array of 1440 G-APDs and has now ...

Aerial SLAM with a Single Camera using Visual Expectation

Felix Stephan Schill

Micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) are a rapidly growing area of research and development in robotics. For autonomous robot operations, localization has typically been calculated using GPS, external camera arrays, or onboard range or vision sensing. In cluttered ...

Ignition and Combustion Behavior in Solid Propellant Microsystems Using Joule-Effect Igniters

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Volker Gass, David de Koninck

A study of solid propellant ignition and combustion of potassium dinitrobenzofuroxanate in Joule-heating pyrotechnical microelectromechanical systems igniters is carried out using a high-speed framing camera. The effect of igniter geometry, propellant form ...

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 ...
