The frame camera is used by users of digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs) as a shorthand for an image sensor format which is the same size as 35mm format (36 mm × 24 mm) film.
Panoramic imagery is created either by digitally stitching together multiple images from the same position (left/right, up/down) or by rotating a camera with conventional optics, and an area or line sensor.
Determination of System Geometrical Parameters and Consistency between Scans ...David Scaduto
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) requires precise knowledge of acquisition geometry for accurate image reconstruction. Further, image subtraction techniques employed in dual-energy contrast-enhanced tomosynthesis require that scans be performed under nearly identical geometrical conditions. A geometrical calibration algorithm is developed to investigate system geometry and geometrical consistency of image acquisition between consecutive digital breast tomosynthesis scans, according to requirements for dual-energy contrast-enhanced tomosynthesis. Investigation of geometrical accuracy and consistency on a prototype DBT unit reveals accurate angular measurement, but potentially clinically significant differences in acquisition angles between scans. Further, a slight gantry wobble is observed, suggesting the need for incorporation of gantry wobble into image reconstruction, or improvements to system hardware.

DETERMINING METAL SURFACE WAVINESS PARAMETERS AND HEIGHT LIQUID SURFACE WAVE ...IAEME Publication
The work is concentrated on an experimental approach to determine surface waviness of metal and height of liquid surface wave. It is based on illuminated those surfaces with a highly coherent light such as laser, and observed movement of center of speckle pattern which were gained from the movement surfaces by using tracking program. The movements of the speckle pattern work on carries important information about those surfaces. Two triangulation methods employed to evaluate metal waviness and liquid surface wave. The first method apply on a solid material (metal) and taking a video directly from the reflected surface, the second method apply on the liquid material (oil ) and taking a video after reflected from screen. The methods used here have a great potential for precise and non-contact optical measurements for surface wave measurements.

Reconstructing and Watermarking Stereo Vision Systems-PhD Presentation Osama Hosam
We have solved the correspondence problem by applying the matching process in two levels, the first level is Feature based matching, in which we have extracted the features of both images by creating multi-resolution images and applying histogram segmentation. The resulting features are region features; a comparison is done between the regions in the first image with the regions of the second image to get the disparity map.
The second level is Area-based matching in which we applied the Wavelet transform to get an expected window size as a search area for each pixel. We have joined the two levels to obtain more accurate pixel by pixel correspondence. We also obtained an adaptive search range and window size for each pixel to reduce the mismatches. Our procedure introduced high accuracy results and denser depth information.
The depth information is used to get the final 3D model – using only pair of images will create 2.5D model, using more than pair of images will create 3D model, we will refer to 3D model as a general output of stereo reconstruction– After reconstructing the model, in some applications it is needed to be published online. For example suppose the reconstructed model is a model for Sphinx – Famous statue in Egypt – The reconstruction for the model can be done in many days or months; then the model will be published online to let Internet users around the world watch the model. Therefore, techniques should be used to protect the copyright for that model. We have applied new fragile watermarking technique to secure the 3D reconstructed model and protect its copyright.

CAESAR II:The Combination of Direct Geometry Method and CAESAR Algorithm for ...BIOVIA
A new method called Direct Geometry, is proposed for 3D structure generation of molecules with various types of geometric constraints such as ring closures, chirality and cis-trans isomerism. This method is combined with the original CAESAR algorithm for super-fast conformation searches. The new method is based on a very simple iterative procedure which directly modifies atom coordinates according to the geometric constraints, such as bond lengths, bond angles, torsions, and various stereochemical constraints. As compared to the traditional Distance Geometry method, the new method is much simpler and more efficient for highly constrained molecules. The techniques for stabilizing and accelerating convergence are presented. The efficiency and the robustness of the Direct Geometry method are demonstrated by the successful 3D structure generation of C60 and other highly constraint structures from completely random coordinates. To further improve the overall performance, a new ring library technology is designed for better re-use and fast retrieval of ring conformations. Our test with nearly 6 million compounds shows that the new integrated method, called CAESAR II, the 2nd generation of the CAESAR algorithm, is significantly faster than the original one. The high performance suggests that the new algorithm can be used for on-the-fly conformation generation for many applications which involve conformational models. Validation studies, such as conformation diversity measurements, pharmacophore space coverage and the ability to reproduce of the bioactive conformation of ligands extracted from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) will be reported.

Matching algorithm performance analysis for autocalibration method of stereo ...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Stereo vision is one of the interesting research topics in the computer vision field. Two cameras are used to generate a disparity map, resulting in the depth estimation. Camera calibration is the most important step in stereo vision. The calibration step is used to generate an intrinsic parameter of each camera to get a better disparity map. In general, the calibration process is done manually by using a chessboard pattern, but this process is an exhausting task. Self-calibration is an important ability required to overcome this problem. Self-calibration required a robust and good matching algorithm to find the key feature between images as reference. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the performance of three matching algorithms for the autocalibration process. The matching algorithms used in this research are SIFT, SURF, and ORB. The result shows that SIFT performs better than other methods.
LVTS - Image Resolution Monitor for Litho-MetrologyVladislav Kaplan
Significant challenges for various Critical Dimension (CD) measurement matching procedures are reaching a comparable complexity as result of negative effects of roughness on the features. Due to the constant trend of integrated circuit in features reduction, impact of roughness start to be more destructive for various sets of measurement algorithms. Commonly used attempts to increase magnification for pattern recognition in measurement mode could in turn detect higher deviation from predefined patterns and thus initiate shift in placement of measurement gate. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how to reduce measurement gate (MG) placement variation impact and filter acquired data using edge correlation approach. The essence of listed above approach is to create set of width correlation function represents particular feature under test and compare it to “golden” one as a mean of detection of uncorrelated scans, which in turn should be excluded from overall computation of matching results. We describe general approach for algorithm stepping and various techniques for judgment of measurement comparison validity. Presented approach also has particular interest in determination of specified tool performance for predefined pattern recognition feature as well as for pattern recognition algorithm robustness study - direct interest for manufacturer. Precise matching estimation as part of Round Robin (RR) routines creating possibility to work with restricted amount of data and perform quick reliable qualification procedures. This paper concentrated on practical approach and used both simulation and actual data measurements data before and after proposed optimization taken by various generation tools by Hitachi (S-8840, S-9300, S-9380) in production environment
it is highly useful for geography students in the field of remote sensing and it is in very simple and explanatory for the purpose of simplification with relevant images in this ppt.
Digital Image Processing is the manipulation of the digital data with the help of the computer hardware and software to produce digital maps in which specific information has been extracted and highlighted. Visual image interpretation techniques have certain disadvantages and may require extensive training and are labor intensive.
In this technique, the spectral characteristics are not always fully evaluated because of the limited ability of the eye to discern tonal value and analyze the spectral changes.
If the data are in digital mode, the remote sensing data can be analyzed using digital image processing techniques and such a data base can be used in Raster GIS.
In applications where spectral patterns are more informative, it is preferable to analyze digital data rather than pictorial data.
Satellite remote sensing data in general and digital data in particular have been used as basic inputs for the inventory and mapping of natural resources of the earth surface like forestry, soils, geology and agriculture.
Space borne remote sensing data suffer from a variety of radiometric, atmospheric and geometric errors, earth‟s rotation and so on.
These distortions would diminish the accuracy of the information extracted and reduce the utility of the data. So these errors required to be corrected.
Efficient 3D stereo vision stabilization for multi-camera viewpointsjournalBEEI
In this paper, an algorithm is developed in 3D Stereo vision to improve image stabilization process for multi-camera viewpoints. Finding accurate unique matching key-points using Harris Laplace corner detection method for different photometric changes and geometric transformation in images. Then improved the connectivity of correct matching pairs by minimizing
the global error using spanning tree algorithm. Tree algorithm helps to stabilize randomly positioned camera viewpoints in linear order. The unique matching key-points will be calculated only once with our method.
Then calculated planar transformation will be applied for real time video rendering. The proposed algorithm can process more than 200 camera viewpoints within two seconds.
The aim of this paper is to present the essential elements of the electro-optical imaging system EOIS for space applications and how these elements can affect its function. After designing a spacecraft for low orbiting missions during day time, the design of an electro-imaging system becomes an important part in the satellite because the satellite will be able to take images of the regions of interest. An example of an electro-optical satellite imaging system will be presented through this paper where some restrictions have to be considered during the design process. Based on the optics principals and ray tracing techniques the dimensions of lenses and CCD (Charge Coupled Device) detector are changed matching the physical satellite requirements. However, many experiments were done in the physics lab to prove that the resizing of the electro optical elements of the imaging system does not affect the imaging mission configuration. The procedures used to measure the field of view and ground resolution will be discussed through this work. Examples of satellite images will be illustrated to show the ground resolution effects.

2-Dimensional Wavelet pre-processing to extract IC-Pin information for disarr...IOSR Journals
Abstract: Due to higher processing power to cost ratio, it is now possible to replace the manual detection methods used in the IC (Integrated Circuit) industry by Image-processing based automated methods, to detect a broken pin of an IC connected on a PCB during manufacturing, which will make the process faster, easier and cheaper. In this paper an accurate and fast automatic detection method is used where the top view camera shots of PCBs are processed using advanced methods of 2-dimensional discrete wavelet pre-processing before applying edge-detection. Comparison with conventional edge detection methods such as Sobel, Prewitt and Canny edge detection without 2-D DWT is also performed. Keywords :2-dimensional wavelets, Edge detection, Machine vision, Image processing, Canny.
Using Generic Image Processing Operations to Detect a Calibration GridJan Wedekind
Camera calibration is an important problem in 3D computer vision. The problem of determining the camera parameters has been studied extensively. However the algorithms for determining the required correspondences are either semi-automatic (i.e. they require user interaction) or they involve difficult to implement custom algorithms.
We present a robust algorithm for detecting the corners of a calibration grid and assigning the correct correspondences for calibration . The solution is based on generic image processing operations so that it can be implemented quickly. The algorithm is limited to distortion-free cameras but it could potentially be extended to deal with camera distortion as well. We also present a corner detector based on steerable filters. The corner detector is particularly suited for the problem of detecting the corners of a calibration grid.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
