the proliferation of information and communications technology (ict) along with the incremental growth in the use of cloud services, enterprise network and data center technologies in recent years, have caused unprecedented expansion of computer networks. however, the existing network architecture was not well designed to meet the requirements of today's needs. one of the most important pr...

We present a novel approach for establishing multiple-view feature correspondences along an unordered set of images taken from substantially different viewpoints. While recently several wide-baseline stereo (WBS) algorithms have appeared, the N-view case is largely unexplored. In this paper, an established WBS algorithm is used to extract and match features in pairs of views. The pairwise match...

Parthenium hysterophorus L. (congress grass, congress weed, carrot weed, wild feverfew, the “Scourge of India”) is an exotic weed that was accidentally introduced in India in 1956 through imported food grains.[1] It has become a common weed causing dermatitis of epidemic proportions.[2] The epithet “congress weed” refers to the US congress (who allocated the shipment for Pune, India).[3] In Pun...

Wide field-of-view (FOV) optics are essential components in many optical systems, with applications spanning imaging, display, sensing, and beam steering. Conventional refractive wide FOV often involve multiple stacked lenses, resulting large size weight as well high cost. Metasurface lenses or metalenses promise a viable solution to realizing without complex lens assembly. We review the variou...
