Reconstructing arbitrarily focused images from two differently focused images using linear filters.

IEEE Trans Image Process

Published: November 2005

We present a novel filtering method for reconstructing an all-in-focus image or an arbitrarily focused image from two images that are focused differently. The method can arbitrarily manipulate the degree of blur of the objects using linear filters without segmentation. The filters are uniquely determined from a linear imaging model in the Fourier domain. An effective and accurate blur estimation method is developed. The simulation results show that the accuracy and computational time of the proposed method are improved compared with the previous iterative method and that the effects of blur estimation error on the quality of the reconstructed image are very small. The method performs well for real images acquired without visible artifacts.

Background: The relationship between adolescent alcohol use and emotional problems remains unclear and contradictory. These inconsistencies may in part be due to differences in the measurement and operationalization of alcohol use and emotional problems across studies, as well as confounder selection and missing data decisions. This study explores the associations between common specifications of adolescent alcohol use and emotional problems in a large sample of adolescents.

Fluids with power-law repulsion: Hyperuniformity and energy fluctuations.

J Phys Condens Matter

November 2024

Key Laboratory of Soft Matter Physics, Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, People's Republic of China.

We revisit the equilibrium statistical mechanics of a classical fluid of point-like particles with repulsive power-law pair interactions, focusing on density and energy fluctuations at finite temperature. Such long-range interactions, decaying with inter-particle distanceas1/rsindimensions, are known to fall into two qualitatively different categories. For < ('strongly' long-range interactions) there are screening of correlations and suppression of large-wavelength density fluctuations (hyperuniformity).

All-Aqueous Embedded 3D Printing for Freeform Fabrication of Biomimetic 3D Constructs.

Adv Mater

December 2024

Guangdong Key Laboratory for Biomedical Measurements and Ultrasound Imaging, National-Regional Key Technology Engineering Laboratory for Medical Ultrasound, School of Biomedical Engineering, Shenzhen University Medical School, Shenzhen, 518060, China.

All-aqueous embedded 3D printing, which involves extruding inks in an aqueous bath, has emerged as a transformative platform for the freeform fabrication of 3D constructs with precise control. The use of a supporting bath not only enables the printing of arbitrarily designed 3D constructs but also broadens ink selection for various soft matters, advancing the wide application of this technology. This review focuses on recent progress in the freeform preparation of 3D constructs using all-aqueous embedded 3D printing.

6DoF Object Pose and Focal Length Estimation from Single RGB Images in Uncontrolled Environments.

Sensors (Basel)

August 2024

Graduate School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41566, Republic of Korea.

Accurate 6DoF (degrees of freedom) pose and focal length estimation are important in extended reality (XR) applications, enabling precise object alignment and projection scaling, thereby enhancing user experiences. This study focuses on improving 6DoF pose estimation using single RGB images of unknown camera metadata. Estimating the 6DoF pose and focal length from an uncontrolled RGB image, obtained from the internet, is challenging because it often lacks crucial metadata.
