Kinetic PCR Analysis Using a CCD-camera

Stroboscope Based Synchronization of Full Frame CCD Sensors

The key obstacle to the use of consumer cameras in computer vision and computer graphics applications is the lack of synchronization hardware. We present a stroboscope based synchronization approach for the charge-coupled device (CCD) consumer cameras. The synchronization is realized by first aligning the frames from different video sequences based on the smear dots of the stroboscope, and then...

High resolution three-dimensional flash LIDAR system using a polarization modulating Pockels cell and a micro-polarizer CCD camera.

An innovative flash LIDAR (light detection and ranging) system with high spatial resolution and high range precision is proposed in this paper. The proposed system consists of a polarization modulating Pockels cell (PMPC) and a micro-polarizer CCD camera (MCCD). The Pockels cell changes its polarization state with respect to time after a laser pulse is emitted from the system. The polarization ...

True three-dimensional camera

An imager that can measure the distance from each pixel to the point on the object that is in focus at the pixel is described. This is accomplished by short photo-conducting lightguides at each pixel. In the eye the rods and cones are the fiber-like lightguides. The device uses ambient light that is only coherent in spherical shell-shaped light packets of thickness of one coherence length. Mode...

Holographic Method for Extracting Three - Dimensional Information with a CCD Camera

A method for extracting three dimensional information from holographic fringe patterns is studied. The holographic fringe patterns recording an object, which is treated as a collection of point light sources, are compared with standard patterns that are also holograms recording a point light source in the target space. We show theoretically that three-dimensional information can be extracted by...
