Approche coopérative pour l'acquisition et l'observation de formes tridimensionnelles

2009

Technologic progres can reduce the barrier between real image and virtual image so far it is really difficult to recognize them. When virtual reality is well done, augmented reality, from virtual world to real world, is still developped. We want to project a virtual texture onto a 3D real object. By using cameras and projector, we estimate its real pose in the virtual reference by projecting a coded pattern to find points of correspondence between cameras and projector onto the textureless object, where common detector of points of correspondence are useless. We combine the calibration of the system and these points to estimate the 3D position of the object, and then register with a fine mo…

Geometric Properties of the 3D Spine Curve

2003

Through a 3D reconstruction of the human back surface using structured light techniques, we study the properties of spine curve by means of a set of parameters related to measures commonly applied in medicine. In this way, descriptors for measuring the abnormalities in the projections of the front and sagittal planes can be computed. We build the spine curve in 3D and analyse the behaviour of the Frenet frame when along the curve the deformation processes in idiophatic scoliosis appear.

Subphthalocyanines as narrow band red-light emitting materials

2007

A series of new light emitting subphthalocyanines, lower homologues of phthalocyanines, were synthesized having color points covering the red-orange region of the visible spectrum. Additionally, they were found to be of potential use as narrow band emitters for red-light emitting diodes.

2D virtual texture on 3D real object with coded structured light

2008

Augmented reality is used to improve color segmentation on human body or on precious no touch artifacts. We propose a technique to project a synthesized texture on real object without contact. Our technique can be used in medical or archaeological application. By projecting a suitable set of light patterns onto the surface of a 3D real object and by capturing images with a camera, a large number of correspondences can be found and the 3D points can be reconstructed. We aim to determine these points of correspondence between cameras and projector from a scene without explicit points and normals. We then project an adjusted texture onto the real object surface. We propose a global and automat…

Determination of the object surface function by structured light: application to the study of spinal deformities.

1999

The projection of structured light is a technique frequently used to determine the surface shape of an object. In this paper, a new procedure is described that efficiently resolves the correspondence between the knots of the projected grid and those obtained on the object when the projection is made. The method is based on the use of three images of the projected grid. In two of them the grid is projected over a flat surface placed, respectively, before and behind the object; both images are used for calibration. In the third image the grid is projected over the object. It is not reliant on accurate determination of the camera and projector pair relative to the grid and object. Once the met…

Crotofolane Diterpenoids and Other Constituents Isolated from Croton kilwae

2023

Six new crotofolane diterpenoids (1-6) and 13 known compounds (7-19) were isolated from the MeOH- CH2Cl2 (1:1, v/v) extracts of the leaves and stem bark of Croton kilwae. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive analysis of spectroscopic and mass spectrometric data. The structure of crotokilwaepoxide A (1) was confirmed by single -crystal X-ray diffraction, allowing for the determination of its absolute configuration. The crude extracts and the isolated compounds were investigated for antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human rhinovirus type-2 (HRV-2) in HEp-2 and HeLa cells, respectively, for antibacterial activity against the Gram-posit…

Wooden Surface Investigation: an Optical Approach Based on Shadow Moiré

2007

The interest in the mechanical behaviour of wood is a very important task due to the increasing role played by wood structures in modern architecture as well as its applicability in restoration of ancient buildings. The behaviour of wooden surfaces experiencing variable humidity conditions is of great importance both with concern to performances of wooden building’s structures and to ensure correct restoration and conservation of art works like wooden sculptures and panel paintings [1]. In literature there are only a few studies dealing with the influence of moisture on the physical properties of wood [1,2]. The characterization of wooden behaviour related to changes in the humidity level c…

Modulation of hippocampal neurogenesis by Nano-Pulsed Laser Therapy

Neurogenesis is a physiological process through which new neurons are generated and it occurs throughout life, subverting the old dogma stating to the inability of the adult brain to replace neurons. Specifically, neurogenesis take place thanks to the presence of neuronal stem cells (NSCs) located in the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricle and in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Data present in the literature demonstrate that neurogenesis in the hippocampus decreases during aging and it is impaired in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, and after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a chronic disease that oc…

Structured-light imaging through scattering

2016

We present a structured illumination technique to image objects hidden beneath scattering. The sample is computationally retrieved from a known ensemble of light patterns codified onto a digital micromirror device and photocurrent fluctuations provided by a detector with no spatial resolution. Results of laboratory experiments will be shown. Article not available.

3D RECONSTRUCTION-REVERSE ENGINEERING- DIGITAL FABRICATION OF THE EGYPTIAN PALERMO STONE USING BY SMARTPHONE AND LIGHT STRUCTURED SCANNER

2018

Abstract. This paper presents a pipeline that has been developed to acquire a shape with particular features both under the geometric and radiometric aspects. In fact, the challenge was to build a 3D model of the black Stone of Palermo, where the oldest Egyptian history was printed with the use of hieroglyphs. The dark colour of the material and the superficiality of the hieroglyphs' groove have made the acquisition process very complex to the point of having to experiment with a pipeline that allows the structured light scanner not to lose the homologous points in the 3D alignment phase. For the texture reconstruction we used a last generation smartphone.
