Abstract This article describes a novel approach for enhancing the three-dimensional (3D) point cloud reconstruction for light field microscopy (LFM) using U-net architecture-based fully convolutional neural network (CNN). Since the directional view of the LFM is limited, noise and artifacts make it difficult to reconstruct the exact shape of 3D point clouds. The existing methods suffer from these problems due to the self-occlusion of the model. This manuscript proposes a deep fusion learning (DL) method that combines a 3D CNN with a U-Net-based model as a feature extractor. The sub-aperture images obtained from the light field microscopy are aligned to form… More >

Abstract This article proposes a modeling method for C/C-ZrC composite materials. According to the superposition of Gaussian random field, the original gray model is obtained, and the threshold segmentation method is used to generate the C-ZrC inclusion model. Finally, the fiber structure is added to construct the microstructure of the three-phase plain weave composite. The reconstructed inclusions can meet the randomness of the shape and have a uniform distribution. Using an algorithm based on asymptotic homogenization and finite element method, the equivalent thermal conductivity prediction of the microstructure finite element model was carried out, and the influence of component volume fraction… More >

Abstract Reconstructing a three-dimensional (3D) environment is an indispensable technique to make augmented reality and augmented virtuality feasible. A Kinect device is an efficient tool for reconstructing 3D environments, and using multiple Kinect devices enables the enhancement of reconstruction density and expansion of virtual spaces. To employ multiple devices simultaneously, Kinect devices need to be calibrated with respect to each other. There are several schemes available that calibrate 3D images generated from multiple Kinect devices, including the marker detection method. In this study, we introduce a markerless calibration technique for Azure Kinect devices that avoids the drawbacks of marker detection, which… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technology based on structured light has been widely used in the field of industrial measurement due to its many advantages. Aiming at the problems of high mismatch rate and poor real-time performance caused by factors such as system jitter and noise, a lightweight stripe image feature extraction algorithm based on You Only Look Once v4 (YOLOv4) network is proposed. First, Mobilenetv3 is used as the backbone network to effectively extract features, and then the Mish activation function and Complete Intersection over Union (CIoU) loss function are used to calculate the improved target frame regression loss, which… More >

Abstract The binocular stereo vision system is often used to reconstruct 3D point clouds of an object. However, it is challenging to find effective matching points in two object images with similar color or less texture. This will lead to mismatching by using the stereo matching algorithm to calculate the disparity map. In this context, the object can’t be reconstructed precisely. As a countermeasure, this study proposes to combine the Gray code fringe projection with the binocular camera as well as to generate denser point clouds by projecting an active light source to increase the texture of the object, which greatly… More >

Abstract With increasingly more smart cameras deployed in infrastructure and commercial buildings, 3D reconstruction can quickly obtain cities’ information and improve the efficiency of government services. Images collected in outdoor hazy environments are prone to color distortion and low contrast; thus, the desired visual effect cannot be achieved and the difficulty of target detection is increased. Artificial intelligence (AI) solutions provide great help for dehazy images, which can automatically identify patterns or monitor the environment. Therefore, we propose a 3D reconstruction method of dehazed images for smart cities based on deep learning. First, we propose a fine transmission image deep convolutional… More >

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction using structured light projection has the characteristics of non-contact, high precision, easy operation, and strong real-time performance. However, for actual measurement, projection modulated images are disturbed by electronic noise or other interference, which reduces the precision of the measurement system. To solve this problem, a 3D measurement algorithm of structured light based on deep learning is proposed. The end-to-end multi-convolution neural network model is designed to separately extract the coarse- and fine-layer features of a 3D image. The point-cloud model is obtained by nonlinear regression. The weighting coefficient loss function is introduced to the multi-convolution neural network,… More >

Abstract The 3D reconstruction using deep learning-based intelligent systems can provide great help for measuring an individual’s height and shape quickly and accurately through 2D motion-blurred images. Generally, during the acquisition of images in real-time, motion blur, caused by camera shaking or human motion, appears. Deep learning-based intelligent control applied in vision can help us solve the problem. To this end, we propose a 3D reconstruction method for motion-blurred images using deep learning. First, we develop a BF-WGAN algorithm that combines the bilateral filtering (BF) denoising theory with a Wasserstein generative adversarial network (WGAN) to remove motion blur. The bilateral filter… More >

Abstract A fibrous filtering material is a kind of fiber assembly whose structure exhibits a three-dimensional (3D) network with dense microscopic open channels. The geometrical/morphological attributes, such as orientations, curvatures and compactness, of fibers in the network is the key to the filtration performance of the material. However, most of the previous studies were based on materials’ 2D micro-images, which were unable to accurately measure these important 3D features of a filter’s structure. In this paper, we present an imaging method to reconstruct the 3D structure of a fibrous filter from its optical microscopic images. Firstly, a series of images of… More >
