GPU-accelerated integral imaging and full-parallax 3D display using stereo-plenoptic camera system

2019

Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel approach to produce integral images ready to be displayed onto an integral-imaging monitor. Our main contribution is the use of commercial plenoptic camera, which is arranged in a stereo configuration. Our proposed set-up is able to record the radiance, spatial and angular, information simultaneously in each different stereo position. We illustrate our contribution by composing the point cloud from a pair of captured plenoptic images, and generate an integral image from the properly registered 3D information. We have exploited the graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration in order to enhance the integral-image computation speed and efficiency. We…

Digital holographic microscopy as a screening technology for diabetes

2019

Label-free quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is the hallmark of digital holographic microscopy (DHM). One of the most interesting medical applications of QPI-DHM is that it can be used to analyze illnesses in which the refractive index or/and the morphology of cells/tissues are distorted, from the acquisition of a single image. In this contribution, we obtain the phase maps of red blood cells (RBCs) samples of patients suffering from diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) by using a DHM. Our experimental results show that the measured phase values are significantly different between control non-diabetic and diabetic patients. The high correlation coefficient between the phase and the glycated hemogl…

Testimonio y visualidad. De la visión del ciego a las imágenes del vacío

2017

¿Cuál es la relación entre testimonio y visualidad? ¿De qué forma se ha dado testimonio visual de la violencia de Estado? ¿De qué modo las imágenes pueden capturar o representar la experiencia del derrumbe, de la desestructuración y del vacío que caracteriza a la vivencia histórica de la represión militar? Este trabajo trata de abordar esas preguntas a partir de dos ejemplos concretos de diferente naturaleza, pero que permiten plantear algunas cuestiones mayores sobre la relación entre testimonio y visualidad. Se trata de ejemplos lejanos en el tiempo, pero vinculados por su rechazo a pensar la testimonialidad visual desde el paradigma de la referencialidad. La vastísima obra pictórica de G…

Non-accumulation of critical points of the Poincaré time on hyperbolic polycycles

2007

We call Poincare time the time associated to the Poincar6 (or first return) map of a vector field. In this paper we prove the non-accumulation of isolated critical points of the Poincare time T on hyperbolic polycycles of polynomial vector fields. The result is obtained by proving that the Poincare time of a hyperbolic polycycle either has an unbounded principal part or is an almost regular function. The result relies heavily on the proof of Il'yashenko's theorem on non-accumulation of limit cycles on hyperbolic polycycles.

Large retroperitoneal abscess extended to the inferior right limb secondary to a perforated ileal Crohn’s disease: the importance of the multidiscipl…

2016

The typical complications of Crohn's disease concerns small and large bowel. The full thickness inflammation of the intestinal wall develops in strictures, fistulas and abdominal abscesses. Nowadays the most accepted therapeutic for intra-abdominal abscess option is antibiotic therapy and, in case of need, percutaneous drainage of the abscess. If the abscess passes through the pelvic foramen the abscess can involve the inferior limbs. We report a case a perforation of terminal ileum in Crohn's disease complicated by a large abscess of the right iliac fossa reaching the spaces between the anterior lateral muscles of the right thigh as far as the anterior lateral pre-tibial region. We discuss…

Figuras de la ausencia. Narrativas y estéticas de la desaparición forzada en Chile

2022

En este trabajo se describen algunas de las operaciones de representación a través de las cuales se han generado, a lo largo del tiempo, narrativas y estéticas en torno al impacto de la desaparición forzada en Chile. A partir del análisis de textos poéticos, el artículo describe un paisaje social caracterizado por la presencia de nombres sin cuerpo y de cuerpos sin nombre. Analiza en relación con ello tres tendencias mayores en los intentos de dar forma al impacto de la desaparición, a través de la puesta en relación de imágenes fotográficas, textos literarios, propuestas artísticas y narraciones audiovisuales. En primer lugar, se acerca a aquellas estéticas que hacen de la ausencia del cue…

Fiction or death: Novels of the Children of the Detained-disappeared as Vehicles for Mourning

2014

Resumen: El presente articulo propone una lectura de las novelas escritas por los hijos de detenidos-desaparecidos argentinos como instrumentos de duelo. A traves de la ficcion como testimonio, el lector deviene testigo de la vivencia de la catastrofe del narrador, lo que resulta en un acto de rememoracion central en el duelo hecho a traves de la literatura. Las novelas que analizamos aqui,  Los topos de Felix Bruzzone y  Diario de una princesa montonera de Mariana Eva Perez, constituyen un cruce de caminos de testimonios: el testimonio heredado de los padres desaparecidos, el testimonio de crecer como hijos de desaparecidos, y el testimonio creado en el lector a traves del acto de la lectu…
