Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for gesture-based editing of three-dimensional (3D) models of real targets, for example, for use in planning hair transplantation procedures. According to some embodiments of the methodology disclosed, a 3D control points on an initial default model are matched automatically with the drawing of an outline of a target feature that a user wishes to define and deformed appropriately to quickly and accurately modify and update the initial default model into a resulting fitting model of the real target.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program for a resolution enhanced pseudo-noise coding technique for 3D imaging is provided. In one embodiment, a pattern generator may generate a plurality of unique patterns for a return to zero signal. A plurality of laser diodes may be configured such that each laser diode transmits the return to zero signal to an object. Each of the return to zero signal includes one unique pattern from the plurality of unique patterns to distinguish each of the transmitted return to zero signals from one another.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for generating a side-pumped passively Q-switched non-planar ring oscillator. The method introduces a laser into a cavity of a crystal, the cavity having a round-trip path formed by a reflection at a dielectrically coated front surface, a first internal reflection at a first side surface of the crystal at a non-orthogonal angle with the front, a second internal reflection at a top surface of the crystal, and a third internal reflection at a second side surface of the crystal at a non-orthogonal angle with the front. The method side pumps the laser at the top or bottom surface with a side pump diode array beam and generates an output laser emanating at a location on the front surface. The design can include additional internal reflections to increase interaction with the side pump. Waste heat may be removed by mounting the crystal to a heatsink.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some implementations mode selection and wavelength tuning of optical parametric generation is achieved through intrinsic nonlinear crystal dispersion.
