We propose a cost-effective and simple-to-implement mirror-assisted single-camera panoramic digital image correlation (DIC) method for panoramic/dual-surface profile and deformation measurement. Specifically, two planar mirrors and a single camera attached with a four-mirror adapter are used to capture stereo images of the front and rear surfaces of a test object. These stereo images can be processed by regular stereo-DIC to retrieve shape and kinematics fields of each surface. Further, with the speckle patterns prefabricated on the mirrors, reflection transformation matrices are obtained and applied to transform all reconstructed surfaces into a common world coordinate system. As such, panoramic/dual-surface shape and deformation measurements can be realized. For validation, a high-resolution smartphone camera and an industrial camera were, respectively, used to construct mirror-assisted single-camera panoramic DIC systems. Real experiments, including panoramic shape measurement of an aluminum cylinder, dual-surface shape measurement of an aluminum plate and uniaxial tensile tests of aluminum sheet specimens, were performed, confirming the feasibility and accuracy of the method. Since only a single camera and a few auxiliary reflective mirrors are required, the proposed method provides a cost-effective and convenient way for taking panoramic/dual-surface shape and deformation measurements of regular-sized cylindrical and bar samples.

Objectives: This work highlights the methods used to develop a multi-pulse 1726 nm laser system combined with bulk air-cooling for selective sebaceous gland (SG) photothermolysis using thermal imaging and software algorithms. This approach enables treating to a desired tissue temperature and depth to provide a safe, effective, reproducible, and durable treatment of acne.
Methods: We designed and built a 1726 nm laser system with a 40 W maximum power output, a highly controlled air-cooling device, and a thermal camera in the handpiece, which permits real-time temperature monitoring of the epidermis.
Optimising detector readout settings for the detection of spatial correlations between SPDC photon-pairs.

SPDC photon-pairs exhibit spatial correlations which can be measured using detector arrays sensitive to single photons. However, these detector arrays have multiple readout modes and in order to optimise detection it is important to select the optimum mode to detect the correlations against a background of optical and electronic noise. These quantum correlations enable applications in imaging, sensing, communication, and optical processing.

Purpose: To visualize the behavior of perfluorohexyloctane (PFHO), an eye drop to treat dry eye disease (DED), on the surface of saline in vitro and on the human ocular surface using infrared emissivity.
Methods: Emissivity videos were used to measure the spreading and disappearance rates of PFHO on saline (with and without mucin for spreading rate) and layered over a 125 nm film of meibum on the surface of saline using a TearView camera. Ocular surface emissivity was videoed in a volunteer without DED before and after instillation of 1 drop of PFHO.

Monitoring animal populations is crucial for assessing the health of ecosystems. Traditional methods, which require extensive fieldwork, are increasingly being supplemented by time-lapse camera-trap imagery combined with an automatic analysis of the image data. The latter usually involves some object detector aimed at detecting relevant targets (commonly animals) in each image, followed by some postprocessing to gather activity and population data.

Nuclear power plant decommissioning requires the rapid and accurate classification of radioactive waste in narrow spaces and under time constraints. Photon-counting detector technology offers an effective solution for the quick classification and detection of radioactive hotspots in a decommissioning environment. This paper characterizes a 5 mm CdTe Timepix3 detector and evaluates its feasibility as a single-layer Compton camera.
