  • a single lobe photometric stereo approach for Heterogeneous Material
    Siam Journal on Imaging Sciences, 2016
    Co-Authors: Roberto Mecca, Yvain Quéau, Fotios Logothetis, Roberto Cipolla
    Abstract:

    Shape from shading with multiple light sources is an active research area, and a diverse range of approaches have been proposed in recent decades. However, devising a robust reconstruction technique still remains a challenging goal, as the image acquisition process is highly nonlinear. Recent Photometric Stereo variants rely on simplifying assumptions in order to make the problem solvable: light propagation is still commonly assumed to be uniform, and the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function is assumed to be diffuse, with limited interest for specular Materials. In this work, we introduce a well-posed formulation based on partial differential equations (PDEs) for a unified reflectance function that can model both diffuse and specular reflections. We base our derivation on ratio of images, which makes the model independent from photometric invariants and yields a well-posed differential problem based on a system of quasi-linear PDEs with discontinuous coefficients. In addition, we directly solve...

In addition, we directly solve a differential problem for the unknown depth, thus avoiding the intermediate step of approximating the normal field. A variational approach is presented ensuring robustness to noise and outliers (such as black shadows), and this is confirmed with a wide range of experiments on both synthetic and real data, where we compare favorably to the state of the art.

  • all solution based Heterogeneous Material formation for p n junction diodes
    ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2019
    Co-Authors: Daisuke Yamamoto, Mao Shiomi, Takayuki Arie, Seiji Akita, Kuniharu Takei
    Abstract:

    All-solution-based devices have potential as the next class of macroscale and multifunctional electronics on versatile amorphous substrates. Different methods and Materials have been studied to control the formation of p-type and n-type semiconducting Materials because forming active Materials for transistors and sensors remains a challenge. This study proposes an approach for solution-based devices in which a p–n junction diode is fabricated using a solution-based InZnO thin film for the n-type semiconductor and a carbon nanotube network film for the p-type semiconductor. Additionally, the barrier height (∼160 meV) is extracted and a p–n junction diode on a plastic film is demonstrated. Although the performance requires further improvements by modifying the interfaces, this printing method may be an interesting approach for all-printed electronics, which can replace conventional Si electronics.
