Cuttlefish aren't wearing 3D glasses to enjoy state-of-the-art movie theater technology, but rather to help scientists better understand how they see the world. It turns out that when it comes to ...

Improvements in three-dimensional (3D) scanning have enabled quick and accurate scanning of 3D objects, including cultural heritage objects, as 3D point cloud data. However, conventional ...

The trick of AI at the edge is reducing complexity while maintaining accuracy. And that takes a lot of primary research. When we explored the eight “AI Firsts” from Qualcomm AI Research earlier this ...

Add this to the list of things you never thought you needed to see until you actually saw it: a praying mantis rocking miniature, old-school 3D glasses. A research team from Newcastle University ...

The praying mantis is the only known invertebrate with 3D perception, however this fact was originally proven in the 1980s using prisms and occluders, which only support a limited number of images.

The proposed technique employs two novel approaches: dual 3D edge extraction and opacity–color gradation, to enhance the clarity of 3D scanned objects. Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) ...
