Polarized Light Field Imaging for Single-Shot Reflectance Separation
摘要： We present a novel computational photography technique for single-shot separation of diffuse/specular reflectance, as well as novel angular domain separation of layered reflectance. We present two imaging solutions for this purpose: two-way polarized light-field (TPLF) imaging and four-way polarized light-field (FPLF) imaging. TPLF imaging consists of a polarized light-field camera, which simultaneously captures two orthogonal states of polarization. A single photograph of a subject acquired with the TPLF camera under polarized illumination then enables standard separation of diffuse (depolarizing) and polarization preserving specular reflectance using light-field sampling. We further demonstrate that the acquired data also enable novel angular separation of layered reflectance including separation of specular reflectance and single scattering in the polarization preserving component, as well as separation of shallow scattering from deep scattering in the depolarizing component. FPLF imaging further generalized the functionality of TPLF imaging under uncontrolled unpolarized or partially polarized illumination such as outdoors. We apply our approach for efficient acquisition of facial reflectance including diffuse and specular normal maps and novel separation of photometric normals into layered reflectance normals for layered facial renderings. We validate our proposed single-shot layered reflectance separation under various imaging conditions and demonstrate it to be comparable to an existing multi-shot technique that relies on structured lighting while achieving separation results under a variety of illumination conditions.

In-Plane Optical Anisotropy of Low-Symmetry 2D GeSe
摘要： As a new member of 2D materials, GeSe has attracted considerable attention recently due to its fascinating in-plane anisotropic vibrational, electrical, and optical properties originating from the low-symmetry crystal structure. Among these anisotropic properties, the anisotropic optical property, as a new degree of freedom to manipulate optoelectronic properties in 2D materials, is of great importance for practical applications. However, the fundamental understanding of the optical anisotropy of GeSe is still under exploration, severely restricting its utility in polarization-sensitive optical systems. Here, a systematic study about the in-plane optical anisotropy of GeSe is reported, including its anisotropic optical absorption, reflection, extinction, and refraction. The anisotropic band structure of GeSe is experimentally observed for the first time through angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, explaining the origin of the optical anisotropy. The anisotropic reflection and refraction of GeSe are further directly visualized through the angle-dependent optical contrast of GeSe flakes by azimuth-dependent reflectance difference microscopy and polarization-resolved optical microscopy, respectively. Finally, GeSe-based photodetectors exhibit a polarization-sensitive photoresponsivity due to the intrinsic linear dichroism. This study provides fundamental information for the optical anisotropy of GeSe, forcefully stimulating the exploration of novel GeSe-based optical and optoelectronic applications.

11.1: <i>Invited Paper:</i> Electrofluidic displays: Fast switching, Colorful, low power
摘要： Electrofluidic and electrowetting displays have been demonstrated since 2004 [1]. They have been subject to extensive investigation, and many of the problems associated with the electrowetting phenomenon were solved. However, new challenges are emerging, in need of a solution. Electrofluidic displays could (and should) play an important role in a growing collection of display technologies, and will add significantly to our interaction with our environment, but is important to understand exactly how to implement and apply this technology. Maybe even more important: How not to apply it. This paper aims to provide an overview of historic achievements and elaborate on more recent progress, while making clear the exciting possibilities of the technology. It will provide a good insight in the current state of the art, and offer guidelines on the factors influencing contrast, brightness and speed.

Significant Delay in the Detection of Desaturation between Finger Transmittance and Earlobe Reflectance Oximetry Probes during Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy: Analysis of 104 Cases
摘要： Purpose There is clinical significance to a delay in response time for detecting desaturation by pulse oximetry. Our aim in this study was to compare the response time of the reflectance and transmittance saturation probes during fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) under monitored anesthesia care. Methods A prospective study included 104 patients scheduled for FOB. Patients were monitored with transmittance (finger) and reflectance (ear) oximetry probes. The response time was evaluated during desaturation and resaturation. We also acquired blood tests for arterial oxygen saturation to assess the agreement with the oximetry probes. Results Ninety patients had a desaturation episode during FOB and were included in the final analysis. Mean time difference between the reflectance ear probe (reference probe) and transmittance finger probe for the detection of desaturation (SpO2 = 90%) was + 36 s (CI 27.0–45.0, P < 0.001). The time difference between probes at end of desaturation episode (SpO2 = 95%) was + 31 s (CI 19.0–43.0; P < 0.001). A significant difference in response time was evident throughout the episode in all saturation values. The reflectance ear probe showed better agreement with arterial blood gases. The bias (and precision) for the earlobe and finger oximeters were of 0.24 (1.04) and 2.31 (3.37), respectively. Conclusion The data displayed by a centrally located reflectance probe are more accurate and allows for earlier identification, treatment, and resolution of desaturation events. In light of these data and the added value of the reflectance probe ability to measure transcutaneous PCO2, we recommend monitoring bronchoscopy by a reflectance oximetry probe.

Lesions Mimicking Melanoma at Dermoscopy Confirmed Basal Cell Carcinoma: Evaluation with Reflectance Confocal Microscopy
摘要： Background: Atypical basal cell carcinoma (BCC), characterized by equivocal dermoscopic features typical of malignant melanoma (MM), can be difficult to diagnose. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) enables in vivo imaging at nearly histological resolution. Objectives: To evaluate with RCM atypical melanocytic lesions identified in dermoscopy, according to common RCM criteria for the differential diagnosis of BCC, and to identify representative RCM parameters for superficial (sBCCs) and nonsuperficial (nsBCCs) basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). Methods: A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients evaluated with RCM, selecting excised lesions classified at dermoscopy with ≥1 score from the revisited 7-point checklist, mimicking melanoma, registered between 2010 and 2016. Cluster analysis identified BCC subclassifications. Results: Of 178 atypical lesions, 34 lesions were diagnosed as BCCs with RCM. Lesions were confirmed BCCs with histopathology. Dermoscopic features included atypical network (55.9%) and regression structures (35.5%) associated with sBCCs, and an atypical vascular pattern (58.8%) and irregular blotches (58.8%) with nsBCCs. Hierarchical cluster analysis identified 2 clusters: cluster 1 (100% sBCCs) was characterized by the presence of cords connected to the epidermis (90%, p < 0.001), tumor islands located in the epidermis (100%, p < 0.001), smaller vascular diameter (100%, p < 0.001) and solar elastosis (90%, p = 0.017), and cluster 2 (nsBCCs 85%) was defined by the dermic location of tumor islands (87.5%, p < 0.001) with branch-like structures (70.8%, p = 0.007) and surrounding collagen (83.3%, p = 0.012), peripheral palisading (83.3%, p = 0.012) and coiled vascular morphology (79.2%, p < 0.001) with a larger vascular diameter (50%, p < 0.001). Conclusions: RCM is able to diagnose BCCs mimicking melanoma at dermoscopy and seems able to identify sBCCs and nsBCCs.

Redox Dynamics of Pd Supported on CeO <sub/>2</sub> -ZrO <sub/>2</sub> during Oxygen Storage/Release Cycles Analyzed by Time-Resolved <i>In Situ</i> Reflectance Spectroscopy
摘要： In situ time-resolved diffuse reflectance spectroscopy provided the redox dynamics of Pd nanoparticles supported on an oxygen storage material CeO2-ZrO2 (CZ) under lean/rich perturbation conditions. Because the reflectance at 450 nm is sensitive to the Pd oxidation state but is not affected by the redox of Ce3+/Ce4+ species of CZ, the real-time Pd redox can be monitored every second during oxygen storage/release in simulated engine combustion exhaust gas (CO–C3H6–NO–O2) corresponding to gasoline air-to-fuel ratios of 14.1 (rich) and 15.0 (lean). Although a large amount of O2 was stored by CZ upon the rich-to-lean switch, the rate of Pd oxidation during this event was found to be much more moderate compared to that with a reference catalyst, Pd/Al2O3. Because rapid oxygen uptake by CZ reduces the local O2 partial pressure near the surface, the oxidation of Pd should be retarded. This can preserve active metallic Pd and thus contribute to longer retention of high NO reduction efficiency even under the lean condition. However, the reduction of Pd oxide (PdO) upon reverse (lean-to-rich) switching occurred at a similar rate irrespective of the support material. The metallic Pd deposits near the interface with CZ promote the catalytic activation of reducing gases (CO and C3H6), resulting in significant oxygen release from CZ. The temperature dependence of the redox rate demonstrates that oxidation of metallic Pd to PdO is much slower than reduction over Pd/CZ, whereas oxidation is faster than reduction over Pd/Al2O3. The preservation of active metallic Pd under lean/rich perturbation conditions is another key role of the oxygen storage CZ co-catalyst.

Application of coatings on silver studied with punctual and imaging techniques: from specimens to real cases
摘要： The protection of silver artifacts with a coating of organic material isolating the surface from oxygen and S-bearing gases is still one of the most used techniques for the preservation of silver surfaces. A variety of materials suitable to this purpose are being used in the conservation practice. Among them there are acrylic polymers, nitrocellulose lacquer, microcrystalline wax and combination of them in superimposing layers. They are applied either by brush or, in some cases, by spraying. The first stage in a conservation project is often the cleaning of residuals of old protectives, aimed at making the silver surface free from remnants of yellowish materials and enabling the application of new coatings. Unfortunately, removing aged coatings and applying new ones are “blind” processes, since the techniques available for not invasively monitoring the surface of silver artifacts are punctual and do not allow an overall overview of the surface. This is the case of reflectance FTIR and thickness measurement with the Eddy Current technique, which, apart from being punctual, are tricky to apply to uneven surfaces. In this paper, we aim to show the benefits of using an imaging technique, UV induced VIS luminescence, for monitoring the presence and the distribution of protective coatings on silver surfaces and of combining it with reflectance FTIR and thickness gauge. At first, our study was focused on specimens treated with nitrocellulose, acrylic emulsion and microcrystalline wax. The application of the treatments was studied with UV-induced VIS luminescence as well as with the abovementioned punctual techniques to cross-validate the outcome of each method and to assess their suitability for application on organic protective layers on silver artifacts. In a further stage, UV induced VIS luminescence was applied to a real case, a silver chalice that was treated with nitrocellulose lacquer after cleaning.

[IEEE 2018 40th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) - Honolulu, HI, USA (2018.7.18-2018.7.21)] 2018 40th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) - Performance Assessment of a Dedicated Reflectance Pulse Oximeter in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
摘要： The measurement of peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) poses a significant challenge. Motion artifacts due to the patient’s limb motion induce many false alarms, which in turn cause an additional workload for the medical staff and anxiety for the parents. We developed a reflectance pulse oximeter dedicated to be placed at the patient’s forehead, which is less prone to such artifacts. We trained our algorithms for SpO2 estimation on 8 adult healthy volunteers participating in a controlled desaturation study. We then validated our SpO2 monitoring system on 25 newborn patients monitored in an NICU. We further evaluated the versatility and resilience to low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) of our solution by testing it on signals acquired in a low-perfusion region (upper right part of the chest) of our adult volunteers. We obtained an SpO2 estimation accuracy (Arms) of 1.9 % and 3.1 % at the forehead and the chest in our adult volunteers, respectively. These performances were obtained after automatic rejection of 0.1 % and 30.0 %, respectively, of low-SNR signals by our dedicated quality index. In the dataset recorded on newborn patients in the NICU, we obtained an accuracy of 3.9 % after automatic rejection of 11.7 % of low-SNR signals by our quality index. These analyses were carried out following the procedures suggested by the ISO 80601-2-61:2011 standard, which specifies a target Arms ≤ 4 % for SpO2 monitoring applications. These promising results suggest that reflectance pulse oximeters can achieve clinically acceptable accuracy, while being placed at locations less sensitive to limb motion artifacts – such as the forehead – thereby reducing the amount of SpO2–related false alarms in NICUs.

Luminance gradients and non-gradients as a cue for distinguishing reflectance and illumination in achromatic images: A computational approach
摘要： The brain analyses the visual world through the luminance patterns that reach the retina. Formally, luminance (as measured by the retina) is the product of illumination and reflectance. Whereas illumination is highly variable, reflectance is a physical property that characterizes each object surface. Due to memory constraints, it seems plausible that the visual system suppresses illumination patterns before object recognition takes place. Since many combinations of reflectance and illumination can give rise to identical luminance values, finding the correct reflectance value of a surface is an ill-posed problem, and it is still an open question how it is solved by the brain. Here we propose a computational approach that first learns filter kernels (‘‘receptive fields’’) for slow and fast variations in luminance, respectively, from achromatic real-world images. Distinguishing between luminance gradients (slow variations) and non-gradients (fast variations) could serve to constrain the mentioned ill-posed problem. The second stage of our approach successfully segregates luminance gradients and non-gradients from real-world images. Our approach furthermore predicts that visual illusions that contain luminance gradients (such as Adelson’s checker-shadow display or grating induction) may occur as a consequence of this segregation process.

Diffusion and inpainting of reflectance and height LiDAR orthoimages
摘要： This paper presents a fully automatic framework for the generation of so-called LiDAR orthoimages (i.e. 2D raster maps of the reflectance and height LiDAR samples) from ground-level LiDAR scans. Beyond the Digital Surface Model (DSM or heightmap) provided by the height orthoimage, the proposed method cost-effectively generates a reflectance channel that is easily interpretable by human operators without relying on any optical acquisition, calibration and registration. Moreover, it commonly achieves very high resolutions (1 cm2 per pixel), thanks to the typical sampling density of static or mobile LiDAR scans. Compared to orthoimages generated from aerial datasets, the proposed LiDAR orthoimages are acquired from the ground level and thus do not suffer occlusions from hovering objects (trees, tunnels and bridges), enabling their use in a number of urban applications such as road network monitoring and management, as well as precise mapping of the public space e.g. for accessibility applications or management of underground networks. Its generation and usability however faces two issues: (i) the inhomogeneous sampling density of LiDAR point clouds and (ii) the presence of masked areas (holes) behind occluders, which include, in a urban context, cars, tree trunks, poles or pedestrians (i) is addressed by first projecting the point cloud on a 2D-pixel grid so as to generate sparse and noisy reflectance and height images from which dense images estimated using a joint anisotropic diffusion of the height and reflectance channels. (ii) LiDAR shadow areas are detected by analysing the diffusion results so that they can be inpainted using an examplar-based method, guided by an alignment prior. Results on real mobile and static acquisition data demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed pipeline in generating a very high resolution LiDAR orthoimage of reflectance and height while filling holes of various sizes in a visually satisfying way.
