Decoding Invisible 3D Printed Tags with Convolutional Neural Networks
… utility in applications such as augmented and virtual reality interactions, tracking logistics, and robotics. The InfraredTag is a newly developed tag that is imperceptible to the eye and can be 3D-printed as part of an object. The InfraredTag can be detected by an infrared (IR) camera. A common …

Feasibility of using cloud top altimetry for estimating tropical cyclone intensity estimation
… the hurricanes. These points were compared with IR images to confirm the intersection of the ICESat track and the hurricane tracks. Out of 18 hurricanes examined, four provided feasible points to test this new technique. Two of these points were from hurricanes that were at the end stage of their …
