Holography, a revolutionary 3D imaging technique, has been developed for storing and recovering the amplitude and phase of light scattered by objects. Later, single-beam computer-generated phase holography was proposed for restoring the wavefront from a given incidence. However, because the phase modulation depends on the light propagation inside the material, the thickness of phase holograms u...

This paper presents a comparison between Radio Tomographic Imaging (RTI) and Device-free Passive (DfP) tracking in standard WiFi networks. We show that for typical WiFi deployments, tracking methods are able to extract location information from a limited number of streams while imaging methods fail to produce meaningful images. On the other hand, we show that when the number of streams increase...

Computer-generated holograms (CGHs) using multiview images (MVIs) are holograms generated with multiple ordinary cameras. This process typically requires a huge number of cameras arranged at high density. In this paper, we propose a method to improve CGH using MVIs that obtains the MVIs by using voxel models rather than cameras. In the proposed method the voxel model is generated using the shap...

Many microscopy studies require reconstruction from serial sections, a method of analysis that is sometimes difficult and time-consuming. When each section is cut, mounted and imaged separately, section images must be montaged and realigned to accurately analyse and visualize the threedimensional (3D) structure. Reconstruct is a free editor designed to facilitate montaging, alignment, analysis ...

Three-dimensional imaging provides profile information not available with conventional twodimensional imaging. Many three-dimensional objects of interest are opaque to the illuminating radiation, meaning that the object exhibits surface, as opposed to volume, scattering. We investigate the use of an opacity constraint to perform three-dimensional phase retrieval. The use of an opacity constrain...

Background/Introduction Recent advances in anatomic rendering software have improved our ability to convert image datasets into file formats that can be used to create highly detailed cardiothoracic models. Parallel improvements in 3D printer technology have decreased the time necessary to produce physical representations of these models. We will describe the use of these models to assist with ...

Detailed investigation on biomechanics of a complex structure such as the human lumbar spine requires the use of advanced computer-based technique for both the geometrical reconstruction and the stress analysis. In the present study, the computer-assisted tomography (CAT) and finite element method (FEM) are merged to perform detailed three dimensional nonlinear analysis of the human ligamentous...
