Edge Detection of Motion-Blurred Images Aided by Inertial Sensors.

Edge detection serves as the foundation for advanced image processing tasks. The accuracy of edge detection is significantly reduced when applied to motion-blurred images. In this paper, we propose an effective deblurring method adapted to the edge detection task, utilizing inertial sensors to aid in the deblurring process.

EIA metamaterials based on hybrid metal/dielectric structures with dark-mode-enhanced absorption.

Metamaterial analogue of electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) has promising applications in spectroscopy and sensing. Here we propose an EIA metamaterial based on hybrid metal/dielectric structures, which are composed of a metallic wire and a dielectric block, and investigate the EIA-like effect by simulations, experiments, and the two-oscillator model. An EIA-like effect emerges in virtue of the near-field coupling between metallic wire and dielectric block, and the dielectric block exhibiting magnetic dipolar resonance makes a major contribution to the resonance absorption.

Thermally controllable Mie resonances in a water-based metamaterial.

Active control of metamaterial properties is of great significance for designing miniaturized and versatile devices in practical engineering applications. Taking advantage of the highly temperature-dependent permittivity of water, we demonstrate a water-based metamaterial comprising water cubes with thermally tunable Mie resonances. The dynamic tunability of the water-based metamaterial was investigated via numerical simulations and experiments.

Electrically reconfigurable split ring resonator covered by nematic liquid crystal droplet.

In this paper, an electrically reconfigurable split ring resonator (SRR) covered by sessile droplet of nematic liquid crystal (LC) is demonstrated experimentally. The magnetic resonance of single SRR decreases gradually by 237 MHz as external bias voltage is applied, resulting from increasing fringing capacitance due to liquid crystal molecular reorientation along local electric field distribution. The transmission phase can be modulated by more than 100 degrees.

Electrically controllable fishnet metamaterial based on nematic liquid crystal.

A variable index metamaterial is demonstrated by embedding nematic liquid crystal inside fishnet layers' void at microwave frequencies. With an external electric field, the left handed passband can be reversibly shifted from 9.14 to 8.
