A new imaging technique makes it possible to precisely digitize clear objects and their surroundings, an achievement that has eluded current state-of-the-art 3-D rendering methods. A new imaging ...

The Gimp provides the Rectangle, Ellipse and Lasso selection tools to help you cut out specific parts of a photo or illustration to keep, eliminate or edit. In addition, if you add an Alpha channel to ...

Small imperfections in a wine glass or tiny creases in a contact lens can be tricky to make out, even in good light. In almost total darkness, images of such transparent features or objects are nearly ...

Over a year ago, a new camera stunned the world with its ability to snap 10 trillion frames per second. That speed made it possible to watch light move in slow motion. But for all its speed, the ...

Robots and other automated systems have always had trouble visually gauging the 3D shape of transparent objects, like those made of glass. A new system addresses that problem, by using a laser to ...

Techniques for optical acquisition of physical objects and their surroundings lie at the heart of virtual reality (VR) systems and material design applications, but the digitization process becomes ...

The research team led by Masakazu Ohara, graduate student of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Toyohashi University of Technology (student in the Leading Program doctoral program); ...

The SA1E-X models of photoelectric sensors feature advanced optic function for transparent or translucent object detection, with optimum response speed of 500μs said to be one of the fastest on the ...
