We address the problem of inferring homogeneous reflectance (BRDF) from a single image of a known shape in an unknown real-world lighting environment. With appropriate representations of lighting and reflectance, the image provides bilinear constraints on the two signals, and our task is to blindly isolate the latter. We achieve this by leveraging the statistics of real-world illumination and e...

abstract time domain reflectometry (tdr) is a widely used method for measuring the dielectric constant (ka) and bulk electrical conductivity (σa) in soils. the tdr-measured σa and ka can be used to calculate the soil solution electrical conductivity, (σp). a theoretical model describing a linear relationship between bulk electrical conductivity, σa, and dielectric constant, ka, in moist soil wa...

InP single crystals are used to the growth of three-component epitaxial layers and superlattices. Triple crystal X-ray diffractometry and reflectometry have been used to determine defects in InP epi-ready wafers caused by the mechanical treatment. Reciprocal space maps around 400 lattice points were separately made for mechanically polished wafers before and after etching treatment. The lattice...

In this paper, Finite Rate of Innovation (FRI) is applied to time domain reflectometry and it is aimed at significantly reducing the data acquisition requirements. The sensitivity of FRI to quantisation noise is addressed given the stringent practical constraints on the resolution of the deployed analogue to digital converters in miniature reflectometry sensors. Dithering with averaging is prop...

Despite the fact that density profile measurements using X-mode lower cut-off reflectometry are foreseen to be used on ITER, little or no experience is available within the reflectometry community and to our knowledge no results on this subject have been published so far. In ASDEX Upgrade the multichannel broadband reflectometer is equipped with b...

Grazing X-ray reflectometry is currently used for the characterization of thin layer

UNLABELLED Acoustic reflectometry, a noninvasive test that produces a length versus cross-sectional area map of the airway, has been used to identify difficult-to-tracheally intubate patients in a small retrospective case-control study. A critical airway volume of 40.2 mL separated those patients whose tracheas were impossible to intubate from those who were easily intubated. To determine if th...
