Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating three-dimensional models of objects from one or more images or frames. For example, at least one frame of an object in a scene can be obtained. A portion of the object is positioned on a plane in the at least one frame. The plane can be detected in the at least one frame and, based on the detected plane, the object can be segmented from the plane in the at least one frame. A three-dimensional (3D) model of the object can be generated based on segmenting the object from the plane. A refined mesh can be generated for a portion of the 3D model corresponding to the portion of the object positioned on the plane.

Abstract: Described herein are compounds containing palladium(II), as the central metal atom, and tetradentate [N{circumflex over (?)}C{circumflex over (?)}C{circumflex over (?)}N] ligands. The compounds are charge neutral, and feature a donor-acceptor structure where a pendant substituted amino group (such as unsubstituted diphenylamine or substituted diphenylamine) and a heteroaryl group (such as pyridine group) serve as donor and acceptor, respectively. This donor-acceptor structure introduces a set of low-energy singlet and triplet charge-transfer excited states with small energy separation allowing for efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence to take place.

Abstract: Described is a method of calibrating a camera. The method comprises obtaining geographical coordinates of a selected physical point location within an image view of the camera and measuring an angle between an x-axis of a real-world coordinate system passing through said selected point location with respect to true north. The method includes using said obtained geographical coordinates, said measured angle, and projection data derived from characteristics of the camera to derive modified projection data for transforming a two-dimensional pixel coordinate system of the camera image view into a three-dimensional geographical coordinate system for point locations within the image view of the camera.

Abstract: Described is a method of calibrating a camera. The method comprises defining an area observed in a field of view (FOV) of the camera as a region of interest (ROI). The method includes selecting a plurality of physical reference points in said ROI and obtaining for each reference point physical position coordinates. The method also includes obtaining from said camera FOV or camera image data pixel locations for each point of reference and pairing each pixel location with the physical position coordinates of its respective reference point. Then, a relationship is derived from the paired pixel locations and physical position coordinates to enable a selected or identified pixel location in the camera FOV or camera image data to be transformed to physical position coordinates for a corresponding physical location in said ROI.
