(Nanowerk Spotlight) The human eye's remarkable ability to detect edges—the boundaries between light and dark areas in our visual field—is a fundamental aspect of how we perceive the world. This ...

(a) Vertical edge imaging under positive electric field. Inset: the helical structure is suppressed and FLC molecules rotate to the left side of the core parallel to the substrates. (b) Horizontal ...

Professor Koray Aydin developed a metasurface spatial filter to improve image processing used in augmented and virtual reality systems, autonomous vehicles, and biometric identification systems. Along ...

Sentient Vision Systems (Sentient) has successfully completed live demonstrations of its AI-enabled ViDAR (Visual Detection and Ranging) payload deployed on Edge Autonomy’s VXE30 UAS. The VXE30 ...

When a beam is reflected (or refracted) at optical interface or propagating through an inhomogeneous medium, photons with opposite spin angular momenta will separate with each other, resulting in a ...

To address today�s image analysis tasks, you need a judicious mix of old methods and new techniques. The purpose of analysis is to determine whether the results obtained from an operation are ...

What is a SWED? How the research team's SWED design significantly improved imaging. Initial test results with the SWED design. The standard two-dimensional array of piezoelectric sensors used for ...

At first blush, it might seem like projects that make extensive use of computer vision or machine learning would need to be based on powerful computing platforms with plenty of clock cycles and memory ...

Semiconductors have had a nice run, but for certain applications, such as astrophysics, they are being edged out by superconductors. Ben Mazin, assistant professor of physics at UC Santa Barbara, has ...
