Numerous investigations have been devoted towards understanding the hydrodynamics of gas jets in fluidized beds. However, most of them address the problem from  macroscopic point of view, which does not reveal the true behavior in the jet region at the single particle level. The present work aims to understand the jet behavior from a more fundamental level, i.e. the individual particle leve...

In this paper, we propose a novel distance-based camera network topology inference method for efficient person re-identification. To this end, we first calibrate each camera and estimate relative scales between cameras. Using the calibration results of multiple cameras, we calculate the speed of each person and infer the distance between cameras to generate distance-based camera network topolog...

We developed a video recording system with the capability of tracking moving objects and used it to track the flight of an insect. The system consists of two galvano mirrors, which redirect the light coming from the object in two orthogonal directions toward a high-speed camera to capture the image. An additional high-speed camera, which views the same object through a beam splitter placed betw...

This study aims to investigate the dynamics characteristics of liquid jet injected from a needle-free injection device by analyzing the the flow visualization from the high-speed video camera and the CFD calculation. This is to investigate the jet flow phenomena (e.g. penetration, dispersion, velocity) in the quiescent air and in the tissue simulant (20% polyacrylamide gel) as the further infor...

In this paper, we focus on traffic camera calibration and visual speed measurement from a single monocular camera, which is an important task of visual traffic surveillance. Existing methods addressing this problem are hard to compare due to lack of a common dataset with reliable ground truth. Therefore, it is not clear how the methods compare in various aspects and what are the factors affecti...

The high-speed camera had a rapid progress in early 2000s. The C-MOS chip camera now can record 7,500 frames per second (fps) with 1M pixel image resolutions. We can capture 30,000fps images with VGA image resolution. These images have both of high-temporal and high-spatial resolutions. The two-phase flow and boiling phenomena are usually highly non-linear and need high-temporal and high-spatia...

In this paper, we focus on fully automatic traffic surveillance camera calibration which we use for speed measurement of passing vehicles. We improve over a recent state-ofthe-art camera calibration method for traffic surveillance based on two detected vanishing points. More importantly, we propose a novel automatic scene scale inference based on matching bounding boxes of rendered 3D models of...

Speed cameras can reduce speeding and injury crashes, but in many communities they are confined to low-speed settings such as residential streets and school zones. In 2006 the city of Scottsdale, Arizona, implemented a 9-month pilot program to evaluate the feasibility and effects of highly visible speed camera enforcement on a busy urban freeway. This was the first use of fixed speed cameras on...
