Demultiplexing Colored Images for Multispectral Photometric Stereo via Deep Neural Networks
Recovering fine-scale surface shapes is a challenging task in computer vision. Multispectral photometric stereo is one of the popular methods as it can handle non-rigid/moving objects and produces per-pixel dense results.

Recovering Surface Normal and Arbitrary Images: A Dual Regression Network for Photometric Stereo
Photometric stereo recovers three-dimensional (3D) object surface normal from multiple images under different illumination directions. Traditional photometric stereo methods suffer from the problem of non-Lambertian surfaces with general reflectance.

Direct Monocular Odometry Using Points and Lines
Most visual odometry algorithm for a monocular camera focuses on points, either by feature matching, or direct alignment of pixel intensity, while ignoring a common but important geometry entity: edges.

Phytoplankton Tune Local pH to Actively Modulate Circadian Gravitactic Behavior
Diel vertical migration hides an unexpected twist: Phytoplankton quietly engineer their local pH landscape, splitting into behaviorally distinct sub‐groups which stay separated even in identical conditions. Circadian pH changes, occuring over the course of a day, reshape their gravitactic behavior and physiological functions in ways scientists have ...

CONSERVATION MONITORING OF A HERITAGE CEILING BY PHOTOMETRIC STEREO [PDF]
Photographic survey techniques were employed to monitor the condition of the paintwork on the ceiling of the Queen's Staircase at Hampton Court Palace. Illumination was provided by a flash, mounted on an 8 metre telescopic mast, raised to approximately ...

UNO: Unified Self‐Supervised Monocular Odometry for Platform‐Agnostic Deployment
ABSTRACT This work presents UNO, a unified monocular visual odometry framework that enables robust and adaptable pose estimation across diverse environments, platforms and motion patterns. Unlike traditional methods that rely on deployment‐specific tuning or predefined motion priors, our approach generalises effectively across a wide range of real ...
