Humanoid robot David is perceiving a cup using his RGB-D camera; in the following, he will grasp it and fill the dishwasher. Tracking objects and kinematic structures in 3D space and determining their ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D method that can be used to track fast-moving objects at unprecedented high speeds. The real-time tracking approach, which is based on single-pixel imaging, could be ...

Today, the most successful methods for image-understanding tasks rely on feed-forward neural networks. Although this approach offers empirical accuracy, efficiency and task adaptation through ...

Recent years have seen the rapid growth of new approaches to optical imaging, with an emphasis on extracting three-dimensional (3D) information from what is normally a two-dimensional (2D) image ...

Researchers developed a new 3D method that can be used to track fast-moving objects at unprecedented high speeds. The optical setup for their experiments is shown. WASHINGTON — Researchers have ...

Region-based methods have become increasingly popular for model-based, monocular 3D tracking of texture-less objects in cluttered scenes. However, while they achieve state-of-the-art results, most ...

Imagine a world where you can track the precise location of an object or person in real time, even in the most complex environments. With the rise of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, this is no longer ...

Flies are fast-reacting creatures and can sense movement quickly. Researchers have now used flies as their inspiration by developing an artificial insect inspired compound eye that can sense a moving ...

A new real-time, 3D motion tracking system developed at the University of Michigan combines transparent light detectors with advanced neural network methods to create a system that could one day ...

WASHINGTON -- If you've ever tried to swat a fly, you know that insects react to movement extremely quickly. A newly created biologically inspired compound eye is helping scientists understand how ...

In the context of video editing, tracking flat areas can become a major plus if done properly, which is important when blurring out data or adding some breathtaking visualizations. However, when it ...

A newly created biologically inspired compound eye is helping scientists understand how insects use their compound eyes to sense an object and its trajectory with such speed. The compound eye could ...
