Re-ranking for Improved Image Query-Based Search

In image search, an algorithm tries to identify images in a database that are similar to a query image. Image search has numerous applications. For example, image search can help historians find images of a historical building from a large image database of buildings worldwide. Feature extraction and nearest neighbors methods are standard steps...

Enhancing MIMO Array Imaging Quality

For radar imaging, resolution and dynamic range are two critical metrics to measure image quality. MIMO array exploits the spatial diversity of transmitters and receivers to achieve high cross-range resolution with fewer antennas than array-based imaging.<br/> Generally, to make full use of the sparsity, at least the transmit array or the...

Long-range 3D Range Detector Based on Time-correlated Single-photon Counting

Three-dimensional (3D) range detectors enabling 3D computer vision is now popular in automotive industry. With their participation, automobile safety has been further enhanced, autonomous driving has become realizable. Time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) technique utilizing complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) single photon...
