Autonomous vehicles clearly benefit from the expanded Field of View (FoV) 360° sensors, but modern semantic segmentation approaches rely heavily on annotated training data which is rarely available for panoramic images. We look at this problem perspective domain adaptation and bring to a settin...

Controlling the nucleation and crystal growth in solution-processed metal halide perovskite (MHP) thin films is pivotal point fabricating homogenous pinhole-free films.

The world’s first photograph was taken by Joseph Nicphore Niépce (1775–1833) in 1826 on his country estate near Chalon-sur-Sane, France. The photo shows parts of farm buildings and some sky. Exposure time was eight hours. Niépce used a pinhole camera, known as camera obscura, and utilized pewter plates as the support medium for the photographic process. The camera obscura, the basic projection ...

Tantalum-178 is a short-liver radionuclide (T 1/2 = 9.3 min.) and emits primarily 56- to 64-keV characteristic x-rays. We have determined the imaging characteristics with this radionuclide and a large-field-of-view Anger camera. With a pinhole collimator, good spatial resolution is possible with Ta-178, although the image quality is superior with Tc-99m under comparable conditions. Spatial reso...

that refraction by a lens is not indispensable to the formation of a photographic image. The effective range of fluorescent and actinic X-rays is limited to two or three feet, and for this distance from a camera a "pinhole" in a metal disc does quite as well in ordinary photography as any lens or combination of lenses, so far as pictorial effect and clearness are concerned, provided the exposur...

We present a quantitative experimental comparison of fiber-based, single- and few-mode dynamic light scattering with the classical pinhole-detection optics. The recently presented theory of mode-selective dynamic light scattering [Appl. Opt. 32, 2860 (1993)] predicts a collection efficiency and a signal-tobaseline ratio superior to that of a classical pinhole setup. These predictions are confir...

Quasi-percolated nanostructured silver thin films are used as the starting morphology for inducing simultaneously changes in shape and ordering effects by laser irradiation. The complex fingered nanostructures are transformed into nanospheres which in turn are arranged in micro-circular patterns when irradiated through a pinhole. These transformations are characterized by transmission electron ...
