3D Reconstruction of Non-Lambertian Surfaces by Perspective Shape-From-Shading With Fast Viscosity Solution

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2022
Shape-from-shading (SFS) is an important method to reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) shape of a surface in photometry and computer vision. Lambertian surface reflectance and orthographic camera projection are two fundamental assumptions which generally ...

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

Local Spherical Harmonics for Facial Shape and Albedo Estimation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
In this paper, we present a novel facial albedo and 3D shape recovery method with a local spherical harmonic illumination model. From a face in an image, the proposed method can produce a high-quality 3D shape and albedo using a novel parameterization of

Shape, Illumination, and Reflectance from Shading [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2015
A fundamental problem in computer vision is that of inferring the intrinsic, 3D structure of the world from flat, 2D images of that world. Traditional methods for recovering scene properties such as shape, reflectance, or illumination rely on multiple observations of the same scene to overconstrain the problem.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Shape and Illumination from Shading Using the Generic Viewpoint Assumption [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Generic Viewpoint Assumption (GVA) states that the position of the viewer or the light in a scene is not special. Thus, any estimated parameters from an observation should be stable under small perturbations such as object, viewpoint or light ...

Three-Dimensional Reconstruction Method for Machined Surface Topography Based on Gray Gradient Constraints

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
In the modern engineering field, recovering the machined surface topography is important for studying mechanical product function and surface characteristics by using the shape from shading (SFS)-based reconstruction method.

IMPDH inhibition enhances cytarabine efficacy in SAMHD1‐expressing leukaemia cells via guanine nucleotide depletion

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytarabine is a key therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), but its efficacy is limited by the dNTPase SAMHD1, which hydrolyses its active metabolite. Screening nucleotide biosynthesis inhibitors revealed that IMPDH inhibitors selectively sensitise SAMHD1‐proficient AML cells to cytarabine.
