Beyond point-to-point triangulation: dynamic 3D imaging under global illumination

sarah JonasResearch Results

Depth measurement and three-dimensional (3D) imaging under complex reflection and transmission conditions are challenging and even impossible for traditional structured light techniques, owing to the precondition of point-to-point triangulation. Qican Zhang and Zhoujie Wu from China’s Sichuan University and their colleagues now report a multi-scale parallel single-pixel imaging method that efficiently separates and utilizes different illumination and reflection components for dynamic depth measurement on multi-type surfaces and 3D imaging through complex transmission media, such as volumetric scattering media and semitransparent surface. The team demonstrated its effectiveness and results are promising for 3D imaging and sensing applications in advanced manufacturing, autonomous driving, and biomedical imaging.

FAU, Virtual Planet and City of West Palm Beach Unveil Groundbreaking Virtual Reality Experience

The multidisciplinary team created a virtual simulation of the devastation that a Category 5 hurricane and sea level rise could have on West Palm Beach. The simulation, produced with 3D technology, reveals the destruction that could occur in Osprey Park and the surrounding communities, highlighting the threat to the coastline and potential solutions for coastal areas.

UCI scientists make X-ray vision-like camera to rapidly retrieve 3D images

Irvine, Calif., July 21, 2021 — It’s not exactly X-ray vision, but it’s close. In research published in the journal Optica, University of California, Irvine researchers describe a new type of camera technology that, when aimed at an object, can rapidly retrieve 3D images, displaying its chemical content down to the micrometer scale.
