We present a novel geometric calibration technique for scalable multi-projector displays. Geometric calibration plays an important role in the alignment of multi-projector systems to present a seamless tiling of the multiple projector displays. Multi-frequency Phase Measuring Profilometry technique for the geometric calibration is proposed in this work. The required framework for implementing t...

Errors resulting from magnification variations of optical system are largely generated in threemensional shape measurements based on depth-from-focus. Focus measures are wrongly or ambiguously tracted, due to the variations. In this paper, a DFF-based methodology considering these magnification riations is proposed to make accurate measurements in surface morphology with high depth discontinuit...

This paper introduces a novel method to calibrate 3D shape measurement systems that use the binary defocusing technique. Specifically, this method calibrates the pixelwise z as low-order polynomial functions of absolute phase; (x, y) coordinates are calculated from camera calibration with known z value; and the camera is calibrated using the standard flat checkerboard method. Because this metho...

Reviewer #1: Synopsis: This paper provides a description of a rather innovative instrument to estimate aerosol optical depth. Readers are first reminded that this Optical Depth Sensor (ODS), was originally designed to fly on a mission to Mars. Thus, the instrument must be robust (preferably no moving parts), and must be able to account for changing calibration, such as when dust collects on win...

All lenses have optical aberrations which reduce image sharpness. These aberrations can be reduced by deconvolving an image using the lens point spread function (PSF). However, fully measuring a PSF is laborious and prohibitive. Alternatively, one can simulate the PSF if the lens model is known. However, due to manufacturing tolerances lenses differ subtly from their models, so often a simulate...

China is planning to launch more and more optical remote-sensing satellites with high spatial resolution and multistep gains. Field calibration, the current operational method of satellite in-flight radiometric calibration, still does not have enough capacity to meet these demands. Gaofen-1 (GF-1), as the first satellite of the Chinese High-resolution Earth Observation System, has been speciall...

A structured light vision system using pattern projection is useful for robust reconstruction of three-dimensional objects. One of the major tasks in using such a system is the calibration of the sensing system. This paper presents a new method by which a two-degree-of-freedom structured light system can be automatically recalibrated, if and when the relative pose between the camera and the pro...

Flattening filter-free radiation beams have higher dose rates that significantly increase the ion recombination rate in an ion chamber's volume and lower the signal read by the chamber-electrometer pair. The ion collection efficiency correction (P(ion)) accounts for the loss of signal and subsequently changes dosimetric quantities when applied. We seek to characterize the changes to the percent...

Perceptual adaptation often results in a repulsive aftereffect: stimuli are seen as biased away from the adaptation stimulus (). Here we report the absence of a repulsive aftereffect for a vertical gradient of vertical disparity (or vertical size ratio, VSR). We exposed observers to a binocular stimulus consisting of horizontal lines. This stimulus contains vertical, but not horizontal disparit...
