Three-dimensional (3D) integration is a fast emerging technology that offers integration of high density, fast performance and heterogeneous circuits in a small footprint. Through-Silicon-Vias (TSVs) enable 3D integration by providing fast performance and short interconnects among tiers. However, they are also susceptible to defects that occur during manufacturing steps and cause crucial reliab...

In this work, we describe a new, general, and efficient method for unstructured point cloud labeling. As the question of efficiently using deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) on 3D data is still a pending issue, we propose a framework which applies CNNs on multiple 2D image views (or snapshots) of the point cloud. The approach consists in three core ideas. (i) We pick many suitable snapsh...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is typically thought of as a possible technology for quantum computation. Here we instead outline how commercially available NMR spectrometers could be used to perform non-quantum computation: from addressable 3D memory, to a programmable 3D reaction-diffusion computer.

We present a new method to reconstruct a temporally coherent 3D animation from single or multi-view RGB-D video data using unbiased feature point sampling. Given RGB-D video data, in form of a 3D point cloud sequence, our method first extracts feature points using both color and depth information. In the subsequent steps, these feature points are used to match two 3D point clouds in consecutive...

Background X-ray magnetic resonance fusion (XMRF) is used to enhance fluoroscopically guided catheterization procedures. We present a new method for biplane XMRF involving an augmented fluoroscopy prototype (Siemens, Forchheim, Germany). With this software it is possible to register 3D MRI data to biplane X-ray projections based on internal markers, without the need for a C-arm CT to perform 3D...

Being able to efficiently compare as-built against as-planned 3D states is critical for performing efficient building and infrastructure construction, maintenance, and management. Threedimensional (3D) laser scanners have the potential to be successfully applied to these tasks. Recent commercial products allow the comparison of 3D scanned and 3D CAD data based on CAD forms. Their current use is...

Recent improvement of high-end GPUs has made it possible to perform real-time 3D visualization such as volume rendering and 3D contour plot for scientific data locally. A web browser based remote 3D visualization by visualization servers is attractive, but data transfer overhead prevents from performing interactive operations. We propose an interactive remote 3D visualization model by live stre...

In this paper, Chi Lin Nunnery, the imitation of early Tang-Dynasty timber-structure building in Hong Kong, is used as an example to perform 3D model reconstruction and demonstrate the assembling process, as well as make a digital database of buildings. This paper gives an introduction to the features of ancient Chinese timber-structure buildings and also the workflow of 3D reconstruction of an...

The role of robots is increasing in our daily life. They can wash dishes, explore unknown terrain, perform security tasks, assist surgeons in patients’ operations, perform surveillance and many more. Human beings gather information about the terrain using eyes and motion of the body. In other words, they see the world in 3D and accumulate information about the structure of the world. In order t...

We introduce Bayesian Eigenobjects (BEOs), a novel object representation that is the first technique able to perform joint classification, pose estimation, and 3D geometric completion on previously unencountered and partially observed query objects. BEOs employ Variational Bayesian Principal Component Analysis (VBPCA) directly on 3D object representations to create generative and compact probab...
