In this work the application of neural networks (NNs) in tridimensional object depth recovery and structured light projection system calibration tasks is presented. In a first approach, a NN using radial basis functions (RBFNN) is proposed to carry out fringe projection system calibration. In this case the RBFNN is modeled to fit the phase information (obtained from fringe images) to the real p...

Current 3D video applications require the availability of high quality depth information. Depth information can be acquired real-time by stereo vision systems and ToF cameras. Both solutions present critical issues, that can be overcome by their combined use. In this paper, a heterogeneous acquisition system is considered, made of two high resolution standard cameras (stereo pair) and one ToF c...

The task of camera calibration is to estimate the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of a camera model. Though there are some restricted techniques to infer the 3-D information about the scene from uncalibrated cameras, effective camera calibration procedures will open up the possibility of using a wide range of existing algorithms for 3-D reconstruction and recognition. The applications of cam...

a r t i c l e i n f o The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of the soil moisture sampling depth in the parameterization of soil emission in microwave radiometry at L-band. The analysis is based on brightness temperature, soil moisture and temperature measurements acquired over a bare soil during the SMOSREX experiment. A more detailed profile of surface soil moisture was obtained wi...

Compound eyes are a highly successful natural solution to the issue of wide field of view and high update rate for vision systems. Applications for an electronic implementation of a compound eye sensor include high-speed object tracking and depth perception. In this paper we demonstrate the construction and operation of a prototype compound eye sensor which currently consists of up to 20 eyelet...

In this paper we approach the problem of insitu camera calibration using an auxiliary mobile color-depth camera. The calibration is based on image lines and the Direct Linear Transformation (DLT). Calibration includes intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, and radial distortion. Traditionally, camera calibration methods based on DLT combine 2D and 3D points. Using 2D image lines allows adding simp...

Dermatological and ophthalmic applicators are used in brachytherapy for the treatment of superficial lesions of skin and eyes. The calibration of these applicators should be realized periodically, according to quality control programs and international recommendations about dosimetry and calibration of brachytherapy sources. Thin thermoluminescent dosimeters of CaSO4:Dy were utilized in this wo...
