DDL-MVS: Depth Discontinuity Learning for Multi-View Stereo Networks

We propose an enhancement module called depth discontinuity learning (DDL) for learning-based multi-view stereo (MVS) methods. Traditional methods are known for their accuracy but struggle with completeness. While recent learning-based methods have improved completeness at the cost of accuracy, our DDL approach aims to improve accuracy while...

Microstructure Analysis Based on 3D reconstruction Model and Transient Thermal Impedance Measurement of Resin-reinforced Sintered Ag layer for High power RF device

Resin-reinforced silver (Ag) sintering material is an effective and highly reliable solution for power electronics packaging. The hybrid material’s process parameters strongly influence its microstructure and pose a significant challenge in estimating its effective properties as a thin interconnect layer. This research demonstrates a novel 3D...

Reconstructing compact building models from point clouds using deep implicit fields

While three-dimensional (3D) building models play an increasingly pivotal role in many real-world applications, obtaining a compact representation of buildings remains an open problem. In this paper, we present a novel framework for reconstructing compact, watertight, polygonal building models from point clouds. Our framework comprises three...

HRBF-Fusion: Accurate 3D Reconstruction from RGB-D Data Using On-the-fly Implicits

Reconstruction of high-fidelity 3D objects or scenes is a fundamental research problem. Recent advances in RGB-D fusion have demonstrated the potential of producing 3D models from consumer-level RGB-D cameras. However, due to the discrete nature and limited resolution of their surface representations (e.g., point or voxel based), existing...

Next-generation prognosis framework for pediatric spinal deformities using bio-informed deep learning networks

Predicting pediatric spinal deformity (PSD) from X-ray images collected on the patient’s initial visit is a challenging task. This work builds on our previous method and provides a novel bio-informed framework based on a mechanistic machine learning technique with dynamic patient-specific parameters to predict PSD. We provide a geometry-based...

A remote and immersive setup for pandemic-safe surgical education

Existing challenges in surgical education (See one, do one, teach one) as well as the Covid-19 pandemic make it necessary to develop new ways for surgical training. This is also crucial for the dissemination of new technological developments. As today's live transmissions of surgeries to remote locations always come with high information loss...

Fracture patterns in midshaft clavicle fractures

Current classifications of midshaft clavicle fractures are based on radiography. The aim of the study was to evaluate the fracture pattern of clavicle fractures using 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT). A retrospective analysis was performed on CT scans of 65 acute clavicle fractures. Using quantitative 3D CT reconstruction techniques,...

Monocular 3D reconstruction of sail flying shape using passive markers

We present a method to recover the 3D flying shape of a sail using passive markers. In the navigation and naval architecture domain, retrieving the sail shape may be of immense value to confirm or contest simulation results, and to aid the design of new optimal sails. Our acquisition setup is very simple and low-cost, as it is only necessary...

Point clouds to indoor/outdoor accessibility diagnosis

This work presents an approach to automatically detect structural floor elements such as steps or ramps in the immediate environment of buildings, elements that may affect the accessibility to buildings. The methodology is based on Mobile Laser Scanner (MLS) point cloud and trajectory information. First, the street is segmented in stretches...

Robust Augmented Reality

The field of Computer Vision is concerned with problems that involve interfacing computers with their surrounding environment through cameras. Consequently artificial vision systems can replace human perception in many tasks. Recent advances in technology, such as increase in computational power, good quality low cost CMOS cameras, improvement...
