Auto-focusing is an indispensable function for imaging systems used in surveillance and object tracking. In this paper, we conduct a study of an image-based passive auto-focusing control for high magnification (>50×) systems using off-the-shelf telescopes and digital camcorders with applications to long range near-ground surveillance and face tracking. Considering both speed of convergence and ...

Templates are used in the preoperative planning of many orthopaedic procedures. The magnification of the bones on preoperative radiographs can vary despite using standardised radiological techniques. Templates will give misleading measurements unless this magnification is quantified. A coin may be used to calculate the magnification, with significant improvement in the accuracy of templating (p...

A microflap system to incline adherent cells in the desired orientation is described. Inclination angles of cell-laden microflaps are precisely controlled by the applied magnetic field, enabling us to observe cell-membrane boundaries from multiple angles. This system is equipped with conventional microscopes, allowing clear focused images of cell-membrane boundaries to be obtained with high mag...

This paper proposes a novel approach to generate stereo video in which the zoom magnification is not constant. Although this has been achieved mechanically in a conventional way, it is necessary for this approach to develop a mechanically complex system for each stereo camera system. Instead of a mechanical solution, we employ an approach from the software side: by using a pair of zoomed and no...

BACKGROUND Flexible video bronchoscopes, in particular the Olympus BF Type 3C160, are commonly used in pediatric respiratory medicine. There is no data on the magnification and distortion effects of these bronchoscopes yet important clinical decisions are made from the images. The aim of this study was to systematically describe the magnification and distortion of flexible bronchoscope images t...

It is well known, that online neural gas (NG) possesses a magnification exponent different from the information theoretically optimum one in adaptive map formation. The exponent can explicitely be controlled by a small change of the learning algorithm. Batch NG constitutes a fast alternative optimization scheme for NG vector quantizers which possesses the same magnification factor as standard o...

The magnification behaviour of a generalized family of self-organizing feature maps, the Winner Relaxing and Winner Enhancing Kohonen algorithms is analyzed by the magnification law in the one-dimensional case, which can be obtained analytically. The Winner-Enhancing case allows to acheive a magnification exponent of one and therefore provides optimal mapping in the sense of information theory....

We experimentally demonstrate a spectral magnifier using an imaging system with two time-lenses based on four-wave mixing in a Si nanowaveguide. We achieve a magnification factor of 105 with a frequency resolution of 1 GHz. The system offers potential as a tool for single-shot, high resolution spectral measurements.
