3D scanners rely on being able to identify physical features of an object, and line up what it saw a moment ago with what it sees now in order to build a 3D model. However, not every object is as ...

Engineers have developed a high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer that uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being deposited during the printing ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a versatile and non-destructive characterization tool that works by scanning a sharp probe across a sample’s surface to generate high-resolution images of its ...

3D printing technology is changing the way we manufacture everything from toys and clothes to human tissue. The process of printing a three-dimensional object is known as additive manufacturing. A ...

Fusing information from LiDAR and cameras can effectively enhance the overall perceptivity of autonomous vehicles in various scenarios. Despite the relatively good results achieved by point-wise ...

Through the looking glass: In a laboratory at Tsinghua University in China, researchers have successfully tackled one of the most persistent limitations in 3D printing. They have developed a system ...

A new method significantly advances 3D imaging of reflective surfaces. The approach integrates techniques known from high-precision optical 3D metrology and computer vision, and could benefit ...

The ability to create 2D to images using AI has already been mastered and dominated by AI tools such as Midjourney, OpenAI’s latest DallE 3, Leonardo AI and Stable Diffusion. Now Stability AI the ...

Researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a neural inverse rendering method that accurately reconstructs the three-dimensional (3D) shapes of moving objects using only three standard projection ...

MIT's DAAAM framework gives robots long-term spatial memory by attaching language descriptions to 3D maps. Ask "where's my wallet?" and it searches its memory.
