The analyzer-based phase-contrast x-ray imaging (ABI) method is emerging as a potential alternative to conventional radiography. Like many of the modern imaging techniques, ABI is a computed imaging method (meaning that images are calculated from raw data). ABI can simultaneously generate a number of planar parametric images containing information about absorption, refraction, and scattering pr...

This paper presents an automatic road sign detection and recognition system that is based on a computational model of human visual recognition processing. Road signs are typically placed either by the roadside or above roads. They provide important information for guiding, warning, or regulating the behaviors drivers in order to make driving safer and easier. The proposed recognition system is ...

The Stereoscopic Analyzer (STAN) is an assistance system for the production of stereoscopic 3D. Developed by the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, Berlin, in cooperation with KUK Film Production, Munich, STAN combines realtime image analysis with intelligent automated tools and intuitive graphical user interfaces to assist camera operators and production staff in shooting the right stereo co...
