Digital camera sensors are sensitive to wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet (200-400nm) to the near-infrared (700-100nm) bands. This range is, however, reduced because the aim of photographic cameras is to capture and reproduce the visible spectrum (4 ...
In a recent paper by Kovalev et al [Optics Express 17, 17317 (2009)] the coupled equations describing stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) were solved in the Fourier domain. The main conclusion driven by the authors was that SBS pump spectral broadening w ...
The chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is widely used as an in vivo model to study the vascular effects of angiogenesis modulating agents. The main goal of the present study was to develop and validate a quantitative method to characterize time- ...
Shadows, due to their prevalence in natural images, are a long studied phenomenon in digital photography and computer vision. Indeed, their presence can be a hindrance for a number of algorithms; accurate detection (and sometimes subsequent removal) of sha ...
It is well-known that taking portrait photographs with a built in camera may create a red-eye effect. This effect is caused by the light entering the subject’s eye through the pupil and reflecting from the retina back to the sensor. These red eyes are prob ...
We present a method to give color advice for Home Décor using images of room finishes, such as paint, flooring, or textiles, taken with uncalibrated cameras. Due to variations in color rendering across devices, an object imaged with different cameras will ...
This paper presents the algorithms and results of our participation to the medi- cal image annotation task of ImageCLEFmed 2008. Our previous experience in the same task in 2007 suggests that combining multiple cues with different SVM-based approaches is ve ...
The invention relates to an adjustable pinhole, especially for the illumination beam path and/or detection beam path of a laser scanning microscope. Said pinhole consists of at least two planar basic components comprising articulation points in the form of ...
This thesis proposes a Chamfer-based method for human body pose detection that combines silhouette matching, motion information, and statistical relevance estimates in an original way. We demonstrate that our method can not only detect people but also reco ...
Current digital camera sensors are inherently sensitive to the near-infrared part of the spectrum. To prevent the near-IR contamination of images, an IR blocking filter (hot mirror) is placed in front of the sensor. In this work, we start by replacing the ...
