Imagine if it were possible to create 3D objects in the palm of your hand within seconds using only a single photonic chip. Although 3D printing has revolutionized the way we create in nearly every aspect of modern society, current 3D printers rely on la
Accurate three-dimensional (3D) imaging is essential for machines to map and interact with the physical world1,2. Although numerous 3D imaging technologies exist, each addressing niche applications with varying degrees of success, none has achieved the breadth of applicability and impact that digital ...
Active mid-infrared (MIR) imagers capable of retrieving three-dimensional (3D) structure and reflectivity information are highly attractive in a wide range of biomedical and industrial applications. However, infrared 3D imaging at low-light levels is sti
We have demonstrated a hybrid LiDAR system combining multi-view 3D imaging with a simple LiDAR system, which produces composite images in which position, depth and velocity data are presented. A 5 camera multi-view system recovers a 3D point cloud of the scene using GPU accelerated feature findi...
between two modes: a real-time constant perception mode for static imaging and a spatiotemporal planar configuration mode with memory for dynamic imaging. To switch between the modes, the dominant carrier polarity is changed via a complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor-compatible multiterminal ...
Typically, active 3D imaging methods require specialized measuring devices such as LiDAR, MRI or PET scanners, which are costly to acquire and maintain but result in highly accurate data. Passive imaging methods, on the other hand, tend to be more cost-effective as they typically use commodity ...
KARLSRUHE, Germany, May 15, 2018 — EVT Eye Vision Technology GmbH has announced its EyeVision 3D software, offering precise 3D measurement with more than 40 specialized commands. The software also supports various 3D sensors of different technologies. For sheet metal components, it is possible to...
Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are used to shape the wavefront of incident light. This can be used to generate practically any pattern of interest, albeit with varying efficiency. A fundamental challenge associated with DOEs comes from the nanoscale
Advanced kirigami/origami provides an automated technique for modulating the mechanical, electrical, magnetic and optical properties of existing materials, with remarkable flexibility, diversity, functionality, generality, and reconfigurability. In this
