Three-dimensional (3D) localization plays an important role in visual sensor networks. However, the frame rate and flexibility of the existing vision-based localization systems are limited by using synchronized multiple cameras. For such a purpose, this paper focuses on developing an indoor 3D localization system based on unsynchronized multiple cameras. First of all, we propose a calibration method for unsynchronized perspective/fish-eye cameras based on timestamp matching and pixel fitting by using a wand under general motions. With the multi-camera calibration result, we then designed a localization method for the unsynchronized multi-camera system based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF). Finally, extensive experiments were conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the established 3D localization system. The obtained results provided valuable insights into the camera calibration and 3D localization of unsynchronized multiple cameras in visual sensor networks.

Background: Dementia rarely travels alone. People with dementia (PwD) often have multiple other physical diagnoses (multimorbidity) and experience poor quality, fragmented care. Over two thirds of carers of PwD are spouses, over half of which are 85 years old or above.

The deep-sea demersal fish fauna is characterized by a prevalence of elongated-body forms with long tapering tails. Using baited camera landers at depths of 4500-6300 m in the Pacific Ocean, we observed multiple instances of backward swimming using reverse undulation of the slender body in four species: the cutthroat eel Ilyophis robinsae, abyssal grenadier Coryphaenoides yaquinae, and cusk-eels Bassozetus sp. and Barathrites iris.

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.

Background: Although evening screen time is thought to impair subsequent sleep, current measures are limited to questionnaires which seem unlikely to accurately assess screen time in youth. Given the ubiquitous nature of digital devices, improving measurement of screen time is required before related health effects can be appropriately determined. The aim of this study was to objectively quantify screen time before sleep using video camera footage.

The fusion of multiple sensors' data in real-time is a crucial process for autonomous and assisted driving, where high-level controllers need classification of objects in the surroundings and estimation of relative positions. This paper presents an open-source framework to estimate the distance between a vehicle equipped with sensors and different road objects on its path using the fusion of data from cameras, radars, and LiDARs. The target application is an Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) that benefits from the integration of the sensors' attributes to plan the vehicle's speed according to real-time road occupation and distance from obstacles.
