AI Article Synopsis
- A new panoramic optical system has been developed that adds an extra field of view (FOV) without increasing the size of existing panoramic annular lenses (PAL).
- This system includes two independent channels within a single PAL, allowing for the combination of images on one image plane without interference.
- The prototype created offers a front FOV channel of 360° × (38-80°) and a back FOV channel of 360° × (102-140°).
Article Abstract
We propose a new panossramic optical system that provides an additional field of view (FOV) channel without expanding the physical size of a conventional panoramic annular lens (PAL). The two channels are contained within one PAL, their optical paths do not interfere with each other, and the two images are realized on a single image plane. A prototype panoramic lens was developed that provides a 360° × (38-80°) front FOV channel and a 360° × (102-140°) back FOV channel.

Fast scanning speed and low-power consumption are becoming progressively more and more important in realizing high-performance chiplet optical phased arrays (OPAs). Here, we successfully demonstrated integrated OPAs with multiple waveguides channels based on thin-film lithium niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) platform. Specifically, two lithium niobate (LN) OPA chips have been implemented with 32 and 48 channels LN waveguides, respectively, enabled by electro-optic modulations, which showcases the low power consumption (1.

In this study, we decouple the effects of receiver position and orientation, treating them as independent random variables. This decoupling enables a clearer understanding of how each factor independently influences the channel model.

November 2024
Article Synopsis
- This paper tackles the difficult issue of source-free unsupervised domain adaptation (SFUDA) specifically for semantic segmentation in pinhole and panoramic images, using a pre-trained model and unlabeled target images.
- The authors highlight three main challenges: differences in field-of-view (FoV) between domains, style discrepancies, and distortions in panoramic images.
- To address these, they propose 360SFUDA++, employing Tangent Projection for effective knowledge extraction, and introducing modules for reliable knowledge adaptation and feature alignment between the pinhole and panoramic domains, resulting in improved performance on various benchmarks.
