Using photographic flash for candid shots often results in an unevenly lit scene, in which objects in the back appear dark. We describe a spatially adaptive photographic flash system, in which the intensity of illumination varies depending on the depth and reflectivity of features in the scene. We adapt to changes in depth using a single-shot method, and to changes in reflectivity using a multi...

High-dynamic-range (HDR) imaging is one of the remaining frontiers for significant advancement in consumer and professional color imaging systems. Systems for the capture, processing, and display of HDR images are gradually moving from the research labs and specialized applications to more mainstream usage and impact on consumer photography. The HDR Photographic Survey is a research project and...

OBJECTIVE To validate a novel photographic portion guide as a tool to estimate consumption of fish and shrimp. Application of such a validated tool can facilitate accurate individual and community seafood intake assessments and provide meaningful data relative to health benefits and hazard assessment, particularly in response to environmental contamination and disasters. DESIGN A photographic...

Photographic plates used in electron microscopy must have a high resolving power. The resolving power of photographic plates is usually expressed by the maximum number of resolved lines in 1 mm. This method of expressing resolving power is not always adequate for electron microscopy, particularly when the resolution of small spots is treated. The present experiment was carried out to study the ...
