of ERTS-1 Image Sensor Spatial Resolution in Photographic Form

Enhancing the quality of object inspections by combining photogrammetry and Gaussian Splatting

Inspection activities on industrial assets, for instance in the aerospace or automotive industry, frequently pertain to the examination of the surface conditions of objects. Among the established techniques for surface assessment, photogrammetry has gained increasing relevance in manufacturing quality monitoring, d...

Use of Laser-Scanned Point Clouds for the Virtual Reconstruction of Medieval Hungarian Castles

In heritage conservation research, the use of spatial scanning is becoming increasingly common; however, there are still untapped possibilities in its application. The topic of this article is an overview of terrestrial and aerial scanning, as well as the introduction of methods that have not yet been applied.At the be...

Building Rome from a Single Image

Single-image scene generation aims to produce a complete 3D scene mesh from a single image, including surfaces the camera did not observe. While pretrained 3D object generators encode a strong shape prior, they are mainly designed for isolated objects in a fixed canonical volume and focus mostly on indoor scenes, since...

An Eternal Irradiance Camera

A conventional camera uses millions of pixels to measure radiance from all directions within its field of view. We present an omnidirectional irradiance camera that measures the irradiance function---the illumination incident upon every point on a sphere. The irradiance function varies smoothly over the sphere and henc...

Underwater imaging without colour distortions requires RAW capture

Consumer cameras are not designed to be scientific instruments, yet they are increasingly used in science not just to see, but to measure. This is possible because camera sensors respond approximately linearly to the light they receive, a property that can, in principle, support quantitative measurements of col...
