When attempting to recover the surface color from an image, modelling the illumination contribution per-pixel is essential. In this work we present a novel approach for illumination compensation using multispectral image data. This is done by means of a low-rank decomposition of representative spectral bands with prior knowledge of the reflectance spectra of the imaged surface. Experimental results on synthetic data, as well as on images of real lesions acquired at the university clinic, show that the proposed method significantly improves the contrast between the lesion and the background.

Hearing impairment (HI) disrupts social interaction by hindering the ability to follow conversations in noisy environments. While hearing aids (HAs) with noise reduction (NR) partially address this, the "cocktailparty problem" persists, where individuals struggle to attend to specific voices amidst background noise. This study investigated how NR and an advanced signal processing method for compensating for nonlinearities in EEG signals can improve neural speech processing in HI listeners.

When designing DOEs based on algorithms, a diffraction model is required to trace the diffracted light propagation and to predict the performance. To have more precise diffraction field tracing and optical performance simulation, different diffraction models have been proposed and developed.

Highly magnified electron shadow images from SiN thin films are utilized to visualize the distortions induced by spherical aberrations. Our simulations of electron-light interactions indicate that spherical aberrations can be compensated resulting in an aberration-free angle of 8.

This approach significantly optimizes thermal compensation and facilitates rapid assessment of the light-emitting behavior trends of Tm: YAG lasers. Firstly, the thermal behavior of conventional and multi-segment bonded Tm: YAG crystals is analyzed.

However, there may be unintended effects of these manipulations on the phenotypes under investigation. There is also debate regarding the use of stable loss-of-function (LoF) alleles in zebrafish, due to genetic compensation (GC).
