AI Article Synopsis

  • Division of focal plane (DoFP) polarization sensors enable quick linear polarimetric imaging but can suffer from estimation errors due to rapid changes in the scene.
  • The study finds that fluctuations in intensity are the primary factor causing these errors, overshadowing variations in the actual polarization states.
  • By addressing intensity variations within a designated superpixel, the performance of these sensors can match that of advanced demosaicing techniques.

Article Abstract

Division of focal plane (DoFP) polarization sensors can perform linear polarimetric imaging in one shot. However, since they use several neighboring pixels to estimate the polarization state, fast spatial variations of the scene may lead to estimation errors. We investigate the influence of the spatial variations of the three polarimetric parameters of interest (intensity, degree of linear polarization, and angle of polarization) on these errors. Using theoretical derivations and imaging experiments, we demonstrate that the spatial variations of intensity are the main source of estimation errors, much more than variations in the polarization state. Building on this analysis, we show that compensating the intensity variations within a superpixel is sufficient to reach the estimation performance of state-of-the-art demosaicing methods.

Wildlife populations are not static. Intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect individuals, which lead to spatiotemporal variation in population density and range. Yet, dynamics in density and their drivers are rarely documented, due in part to the inherent difficulty of studying long-term population-level phenomena at ecologically meaningful scales.

Immigration and emigration are key demographic processes of animal population dynamics. However, we have limited knowledge on how fine-scale movement varies over space and time. We developed a Bayesian integrated population model using individual mark-recapture and count data to characterize fine-scale movement of stream fish at 20-m resolution in a 740-m study area every two months for 28 months.

Significance: Laparoscopic surgery presents challenges in localizing oncological margins due to poor contrast between healthy and malignant tissues. Optical properties can uniquely identify various tissue types and disease states with high sensitivity and specificity, making it a promising tool for surgical guidance. Although spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) effectively measures quantitative optical properties, its deployment in laparoscopy is challenging due to the constrained imaging environment.

Craniofacial development gives rise to the complex structures of the face and involves the interplay of diverse cell types. Despite its importance, our understanding of human-specific craniofacial developmental mechanisms and their genetic underpinnings remains limited. Here, we present a comprehensive single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) atlas of human craniofacial development from craniofacial tissues of 24 embryos that span six key time points during the embryonic period (4-8 post-conception weeks).

Spatially resolved transcriptomics has made it possible to study the subcellular organization of mRNA, a critical aspect of cellular function. However, there is a dearth of analytical tools to identify and interpret the functional significance of subcellular spatial distribution patterns. To address this, we present CellSP, a computational framework for identifying, visualizing, and characterizing consistent subcellular spatial patterns of mRNA.
