Published: December 2001

A relatively compact, lightweight, and programmable spectropolarimetric imager was used to collect spectral and polarization data from various objects and backgrounds, both in the laboratory and in field tests. This imager uses a tellurium dioxide (TeO2) acousto-optic tunable filter and a liquid-crystal retardation plate with a CCD camera. The spectral images were collected 450-1000 nm at 10- or 20-nm intervals at two or four polarization settings for each spectral interval. We analyzed a portion of these data to assess the effectiveness of this system for object detection. We present our measurements and discuss the analysis results.

The ability of microbial active motion, morphology, and optical properties to serve as biosignatures was investigated by in situ video microscopy in a wide range of extreme field sites where such imaging had not been performed previously. These sites allowed for sampling seawater, sea ice brines, cryopeg brines, hypersaline pools and seeps, hyperalkaline springs, and glaciovolcanic cave ice. In all samples except the cryopeg brine, active motion was observed without any sample treatment.

In Augmented Reality (AR), virtual content enhances user experience by providing additional information. However, improperly positioned or designed virtual content can be detrimental to task performance, as it can impair users' ability to accurately interpret real-world information. In this paper we examine two types of task-detrimental virtual content: obstruction attacks, in which virtual content prevents users from seeing real-world objects, and information manipulation attacks, in which virtual content interferes with users' ability to accurately interpret real-world information.

Rotor attitude detection (RAD) is one of the key technologies to control permanent magnet spherical motors (PMSpM). This paper proposes an improved you only look once v8n (YOLOv8n) based RAD method for a PMSpM. The visual image datasets collection and annotation method are described, and three different visual feature objects are set for the RAD.

Objective: To analyze the effects of multiplane reconstruction (MPR) technology with multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in the etiological diagnosis of acute intestinal obstruction (AIO). Obtaining clear images is of great help in determining the type and etiology of AIO, and doctors can quickly develop treatment plans to improve prognosis and efficacy.

Methods: The clinical data of patients with suspected AIO admitted to our hospital from May 2020 to May 2022 were retrospectively selected as the observation objects.
