A New Approach to Visual-Based Sensory System for Navigation into Orange Groves

open access: yesSensors, 2011
One of the most important parts of an autonomous robot is to establish the path by which it should navigate in order to successfully achieve its goals. In the case of agricultural robotics, a procedure that determines this desired path can be useful.

Highly curved image sensors: a practical approach for improved optical performance [PDF]

open access: yesOptics Express, 2017
The significant optical and size benefits of using a curved focal surface for imaging systems have been well studied yet never brought to market for lack of a high-quality, mass-producible, curved image sensor. In this work we demonstrate that commercial

Non-Volatile ReRAM-Based Compact Event-Triggered Counters

open access: yesIEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits
With an increasing number of transistors per circuit, the fabrication cost and the energy consumption of each integrated circuits increase exponentially, which drives the need to reduce the number of transistors.

Novel readout circuit architecture for CMOS image sensors minimizing RTS noise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This letter presents a novel readout architecture and its associated readout sequence for complementary metal–oxide– semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors (CISs) based on switch biasing techniques in order to reduce noisy pixel numbers induced by in-pixel

Space optical instruments optimisation thanks to CMOS image sensor technology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Today, both CCD and CMOS sensors can be envisaged for nearly all visible sensors and instruments designed for space needs. Indeed, detectors built with both technologies allow excellent electro-optics performances to be reached, the selection of the most

Benchmarking Image Sensors Under Adverse Weather Conditions for Autonomous Driving [PDF]

open access: yes2018 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV), 2018
Adverse weather conditions are very challenging for autonomous driving because most of the state-of-the-art sensors stop working reliably under these conditions.

Stable stitching method for stereoscopic panoramic video

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, 2018
This paper proposes a stable method of generating a stereoscopic panoramic video with the omnidirectional stereo (ODS) format. Different from the traditional image stitching method which can only be applied to generate a monocular panorama, we adopt an ...

Oil spill detection using optical sensors: a multi-temporal approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Oil pollution is one of the most destructive consequences due to human activities in the marine environment. Oil wastes come from many sources and take decades to be disposed of.

A Method to Correct the Temporal Drift of Single-Photon Detectors Based on Asynchronous Quantum Ghost Imaging

open access: yesSensors
Single-photon detection and timing has attracted increasing interest in recent years due to their necessity in the field of quantum sensing and the advantages of single-quanta detection in the field of low-level light imaging.
