چکیده
In this paper an imaging system for measuring sandy bottom dynamics is proposed. The system exploits stereo sequences and projected laser beams to build the 3D shape of the sandy bottom during time. The reconstruction is used by experts of the field to perform accurate measurements and analysis in the study of the final equilibrium conditions of sea bottoms in the presence of water flows. Results obtained by processing data acquired in hydraulic laboratory confirm the effectiveness of the system which makes simple and fast the understanding of the sandy bottom dynamics and the related equilibrium phenomena.

Refraction Wiggles for Measuring Fluid Depth and Velocity from Video
We present principled algorithms for measuring the velocity and 3D location of refractive fluids, such as hot air or gas, from natural videos with textured backgrounds. Our main observation is that intensity variations related to movements of refractive fluid elements, as observed by one or more video cameras, are consistent over small space-time volumes. We call these intensity variations “ref...

In this paper, we describe a multi-depth camera system for 3D video contents generation. We combine five video cameras and five TOF depth cameras to capture a scene in real time. By taking advantages of both active and passive sensor based depth acquisition methods, we can estimate multi-view depth sequences accurately. After performing several steps of preprocessing, the depth sequences are wa...

متن کاملBiocenotic composition of the macrozoobenthos on different habitats from the littoral region of Lake Ohrid.
Biocenotic research on the benthic fauna from the northwestern part of Lake Ohrid, has shown that different habitats characterize different qualitative compositions of the benthic fauna. The affinity of the macrozoobenthic communities to populate different habitats was investigated in 5 different localities from the northwestern part of Lake Ohrid. Among the five different types of habitats suc...
