Computer imaging techniques are commonly used to preserve and share readable manuscripts, but capturing writing locked away in ancient, deteriorated documents poses an entirely different challenge. This software pipeline-referred to as "virtual unwrapping"-allows textual artifacts to be read completely and noninvasively. The systematic digital analysis of the extremely fragile En-Gedi scroll (t...

An integral imaging system is employed as part of a three dimensional imaging system, allowing display of full colour images with continuous parallax within a wide viewing zone. A novel approach to the problem of compressing the significant quantity of data required to represent integral 3D video is presented and it is shown that the reduction in bit cost achieved makes possible transmission vi...

Left atrial size and function are very important prognostic factors. Our aim was to evaluate left atrial size, function and mechanical synchrony using three-dimensional echocardiography in order to establish normal reference values. The study involved 63 healthy individuals enrolled at two hospitals. All underwent two-dimensional and three-dimensional echocardiography. Mechanical asynchrony was...

Structured-light illumination is a process of three-dimensional imaging where a series of time-multiplexed, striped patterns are projected onto a target scene with the corresponding captured images used to determine surface shape according to the warping of the projected patterns around the target. In a real-time system, a high-speed projector/camera pair is used such that any surface motion is...

We demonstrate three-dimensional imaging of antiprotons in a Penning trap, by reconstructing annihilation vertices from the trajectories of the charged annihilation products. The unique capability of antiparticle imaging has allowed, for the first time, the observation of the spatial distribution of the particle loss in a Penning trap. The radial loss of antiprotons on the trap wall is localize...

Figure 1. Recording an equine ECG with a smartphone. Speckle tracking is the most promising of the various advances in equine echocardiography, but, as technology continues to improve, three-dimensional echocardiography is already showing potential in horses. Novel ECG techniques Cardiology in the horse is focused on diagnosis and prognosis – and, as such, advances in the field tend to be drive...

Nondestructive three-dimensional imaging of femtosecond laser-written buried structures is demonstrated using optical coherence microscopy providing lateral and depth resolution on a micron scale. This high speed technique, which requires no sample preparation, enables the visualization of volumetric structural modification created deep in transparent dielectric medium with high signal/noise co...

We investigate the utility of 3D facial landmark localisation in addressing the varying pose problem in 3D face recognition. We do not focus on the 3D landmark localisation problem itself, rather, we ask: Given the set of salient landmarks visible at some specific pose, what 3D face recognition performance can we expect, given that statistical training was performed at some other (canonical) po...

Ultrasound segmentation is a challenging problem due to the inherent speckle and some artifacts like shadows, attenuation and signal dropout. Existing methods need to include strong priors like shape priors or analytical intensity models to succeed in the segmentation. However, such priors tend to limit these methods to a specific target or imaging settings, and they are not always applicable t...
