Reconstruction from Multiple Images using Kinetic Depths

This paper deals with the problem of reconstructing the locations of n points in space from m diierent images without camera calibration. It is assumed that the correspondences between the points in the diierent images are known. We will show how these reconstruction problems for diierent n and m can be put into a similar theoretical framework and will solve the so called minimal cases. When n ...

Hyperspectral aerosol optical depths from TCAP flights

[1] The 4STAR (Spectrometer for Sky-Scanning, Sun-Tracking Atmospheric Research), a hyperspectral airborne Sun photometer, acquired aerosol optical depths (AOD) at 1Hz during all July 2012 flights of the Two-Column Aerosol Project. Root-mean-square differences from Aerosol Robotic Network ground-based observations were 0.01 at wavelengths between 500–1020 nm, 0.02 at 380 and 1640 nm, and 0.03 a...

The Lower Depths

Probing the depths

W scientists from HMS Challenger dredged animals from over 5km depth, they finally laid to rest the azoic hypothesis of Edward Forbes, that life could not exist in cold dark depths of the ocean, and thereby opened the doors to true deep-sea biology. The past decade has witnessed a further sea change in our view of marine diversity, if I may be permitted the pun, a change driven to a large exten...
