Published: February 2006

In this paper, we address stereo matching in the presence of a class of non-Lambertian effects, where image formation can be modeled as the additive superposition of layers at different depths. The presence of such effects makes it impossible for traditional stereo vision algorithms to recover depths using direct color matching-based methods. We develop several techniques to estimate both depths and colors of the component layers. Depth hypotheses are enumerated in pairs, one from each layer, in a nested plane sweep. For each pair of depth hypotheses, matching is accomplished using spatial-temporal differencing. We then use graph cut optimization to solve for the depths of both layers. This is followed by an iterative color update algorithm which we proved to be convergent. Our algorithm recovers depth and color estimates for both synthetic and real image sequences.

Emotion processing is an integral part of everyone's life. The basic neural circuits involved in emotion perception are becoming clear, though the emotion's cognitive processing remains under investigation. Utilizing the stereo-electroencephalograph with high temporal-spatial resolution, this study aims to decipher the neural pathway responsible for discriminating low-arousal and high-arousal emotions.

Article Synopsis
  • Accurate 3D information estimation from images is crucial for computer vision, and while binocular stereo vision is a common approach, it faces challenges with baseline distance affecting reliability.
  • This research proposes a new method that progressively increases the baseline in multiocular vision, introducing a rectification technique that significantly reduces distortion errors in the images.
  • The method enhances disparity estimation accuracy by 20% for multiocular images and demonstrates superior performance through extensive evaluations against existing methods.

Stereo-seq of the prefrontal cortex in aging and Alzheimer's disease.

Aging increases the risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), driving pathological changes like amyloid-β (Aβ) buildup, inflammation, and oxidative stress, especially in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). We present the first subcellular-resolution spatial transcriptome atlas of the human prefrontal cortex (PFC), generated with Stereo-seq from six male AD cases at varying neuropathological stages and six age-matched male controls. Our analyses revealed distinct transcriptional alterations across PFC layers, highlighted disruptions in laminar structure, and exposed AD-related shifts in layer-to-layer and cell-cell interactions.
