A pinhole camera selects a two-dimensional set of rays from the four-dimensional light field. Pinhole cameras are a type of general linear camera, defined as planar 2D slices of the 4D light field. Cameras with finite apertures can be considered as the summation of a collection of pinhole cameras. In the limit they evaluate a two-dimensional integral of the four-dimensional light field. Hence a...

We developed a practical method to derive response functions that convert the amount of incident light to the counts of analog-to-digital conversion (A/D) of cameras for scientific imaging. In this method, we need a mechanism to accurately control the amount of incident light into cameras just within a limited dynamic range and at a limited number of steps. A variable brightness light source, w...

A meta-analysis has been conducted on the effects of red-light cameras (RLCs) on intersection crashes. The size and direction of results reported from studies included in the meta-analysis are strongly affected by study methodology. The studies that have controlled for most confounding factors yield the least favourable results. Based on these studies, installation of RLCs leads to an overall i...

Light field cameras presents new capabilities, such as post-capture refocusing and aperture control, through capturing directional and spatial distribution of light rays in space. Among different light field camera implementations, micro-lens array based light field cameras is a cost-effective and compact approach to capture light field. One drawback of the micro-lens array based light field ca...

This paper presents a novel approach to capture light field in camera arrays based on the compressive sensing framework. Light fields are captured by a linear array of cameras with overlapping field of view. In this work, we design a redundant dictionary to exploit cross-cameras correlated structures in order to sparsely represent cameras image. We show experimentally that the projection of com...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to determine the optimal reconstruction parameters for iterative reconstruction in different devices and collimators for dopamine transporter (dat) single-photon emission computed tomography (spect). the results were compared between filtered back projection (fbp) and different attenuation correction (ac) methods.methods: an anthropomorphic striatal phant...

Recently, projector camera systems have been used actively for image synthesis and for 3D reconstruction. For using the projector camera systems in these applications, it is very important to compute the geometry between projectors and cameras accurately. Recently, it has been shown that by using the mutual projection of cameras, multiple cameras are calibrated quite accurately. However, this p...

Intelligent surveillance systems have been studied by many researchers. These systems should be operated in both daytime and nighttime, but objects are invisible in images captured by visible light camera during the night. Therefore, near infrared (NIR) cameras, thermal cameras (based on medium-wavelength infrared (MWIR), and long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) light) have been considered for usage...
