Imaging the internal structure of quasi-transparent three-dimensional (3D) objects is one of the most challenging tasks for optical systems. If the light propagates coherently through the volumetric object, then collection of phase projections from different angles and tomographic reconstruction are required. However, a single shot from a high space-bandwidth-product camera is often sufficient to yield 3D information if the object is sufficiently sparse. For incoherent 3D sources or scatterers, the mutual intensity of the propagated field has sufficient degrees of freedom to reconstruct the source but it is limited by the sensitivity (contrast) of the interferometric measurement. We describe two complementary methods of phase recovery. (1) For the coherent sparse case, which typically leads to rapid phase oscillations at the exit pupil, we have implemented several generations of digital holographic imaging systems which can be deployed underwater to image, e.g. aquatic organisms, seed particles, or bubbles in a flow. (2) For slowly varying optical density profiles, we have been investigating phase recovery via the Transport of Intensity Equation (TIE) and we have developed methods to improve contrast and eliminate the inherent scanning requirement by exploiting the (known) object dispersion. We will present experimental results and discuss these methods comparatively.

This paper deals with the uses of the Earth Mover's Distance for local evaluation of fusion system. Local evaluation is an interesting way to better characterize the system behavior and consequently to have information on which subpart needs to be adjusted. The definition of the subpart mission and its measurement are two key points in this problematic. This paper shows that the use of the Earth Mover's Distance for measuring the mission achievement is a more complete mathematical tool. The efficiency of the approach is illustrated on an information fusion system devoted to 3D image analysis.

Illumination compensation has proven to be crucial in face detection and face recognition. Several methods for illumination compensation have been developed and tested on the face recognition task using international available face databases. Among the methods with best results are the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Local Normalization (LN) and Self-Quotient Image (SQI). Most of these methods have been applied with great success in face recognition using a principal component classifier (PCA). In the past few years, Local Matching Gabor (LMG) classifiers have shown great success in face classification relative to other classifiers. In this work we optimize several illumination compensation methods using the LMG face classifier. We use ge netic algorithms as the optimization tool. We test our results on the FERET international face database. Results show that face recognition can be significantly improved by illumination compensation methods. The best results are obtained with the optimized LN method which yields a 31% reduction in the total number of errors in the FERET database.

Three dimensional (3D) shape-measurement systems combining fringe projection and stereo vision utilize phase for dense stereo matching. However, projection of orthogonal fringe patterns and computation of curved epipolar lines due to lens distortion has made traditional phase-based stereo matching time-consuming. This paper presents a phase-based stereo matching method that takes advantage of epipolar line rectification and transforms bi-stereo geometry into epipolar standard geometry. Using phase-shifting techniques to compute ph ase, stereo matching is simplified by searching for the closest phase along horizontal epipolar lines. Compared with the traditional method, this method shortened the stereo matching time by 20 percent. In 3D reconstruction of a plane with high flatness, the 3D shape measurement accuracy was demonstrated to be 0.0178mm. Thus, this method is suitable for applications that require fast speed and high accuracy.

An analytical technique based on the Mueller matrix method and the Stokes parameters is proposed for extracting all effective parameters on the principal axis angle, phase retardance, diattenuation axis angle, diattenuation, optical rotation angle and circular diattenuation value of anisotropic optical materials. The linear birefringence, circular birefringence, linear diattenuation, circular diattenuation properties are decoupled within the analytical model. The result demonstrates the feasibility of analytical model in characterizing all effective parameters of anisotropic optical material. Also, it confirms that the proposed fiber-based polarimeter provides a simple alternative to existing fiber-based probes for parameter measurement in the near field or the remote environment. A low birefringence fiber-based polarimeter based on effective parameters and genetic algorithm without using a fiber polarization controller is first proposed confirmatively. As authors' knowledge, this methodology is introduced in this paper cou ld be the most comprehensive algorithm in extracting all parameters in anisotropic optical materials.

Spectral imaging of a color document is realized by a modified flat-bed scanner in which its linear image sensor is replaced by a diffraction grating and a two-dimensional image sensor. This illuminant-independent color recording may be ad vantageous for desk-top applications.

In this paper, we design a zero-dispersion shifted fiber based on triangular core graded index single mode optical fiber and consider the transmission parameters fluctuations owing to environmental conditions variations such as temperature. The Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) developed in the cylindrical coordinate [1] is used to obtain the field distribution and guided modes. Meanwhile, design process consists of limited coordinate descent optimization method. In order to estimate the thermal coefficients, the model introduced in [2] is applied. It is found out that the propagation characteristics of the proposed graded index fiber have greater endurance against temperature fluctuations compared to the reported structures based on the multi-clad step index ones.

By switching the gradient fields of a clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, magnetic objects may be moved inside the cardiovascular system of the human body. The main field of application is seen in targeted drug therapy or embolization. A successful navigation of such devices requires continuous position determination. The occurrence of magnetic susceptibility artifacts can be exploited for this purpose. This article studies the effect of magnetic microscopic objects and nanoparticles on the process of MRI image formation in several imaging sequences. An MRI simulator based on evaluation of the Bloch equation is presented and applied for the simulation of artifact formation. Also, artifact properties are studied by experiments carried out on clinical MRI scanners, using magnetic objects placed into an agarose gel phantom. The transferability of the results from the gel phantom to a real tissue environment is proven. Based on the results, a two-stage procedure for visual servoing is proposed. It is initialized by object detection, carried out in a 3D scan. Object tracking is performed on fast 2D scans by template matching. The slice position is adjusted automatically in a feedback loop in order to follow object movements perpendicular to the image plane.

This article focuses on the design and implementation of smart wearable robot glasses for human visual augmentation, which take a role to provide the refined visual recognition result to users of wearing the proposed system. The proposed system consists of a glass-type wearable device with a front looking camera, an eye looking camera, and an earphone, and signal processing units. The scene-analyzing process on the input image acquired by the front view camera is supported by an eye view camera of monitoring the eye position of user for efficient in formation processing, which is used to catch the user's visual intention and attention in given situations. The recognized results are transformed into the audio information for the user friendly information service without obstructing the users' own visual information gathering and processing, and then the result is transferred into the user earphone finally. This device can be used for the augmentation of human visual capability in various areas, museum, conference, meetings, etc. For the proposed device's feasibility, a series of experiments are performed, and the evaluation results are discussed in detail.
