Unattended interferometric sensors

Abstract

We describe tomographic integration of visible and IR projections to form 3D models of object spaces. 3D modeling is a computationally efficient means of multiple sensor data reduction and a robust means of scene analysis. We consider how imaging system design might be revised to obtain 3D data and present experimental data from a compact interferometric coherence imaging system. We experimentally and theoretically analyze 3D reconstructions of macroscopic objects, focusing in particular on the reconstruction of an automobile using a conventional camera.

Modern approaches to marine antifouling coatings

“…The adhesion of a marine fouling organism to a wetted substrate creates two surfaces, the surface adhesive interface and the adhesive water interface [58]. As described earlier it is these interfacial tensions which control the organisms' ability to adhere.…”
