Indeed, jewel beetles can detect a burning tree 50 miles away, and dogs can sniff out substances at concentrations of one part per trillion – that means detecting one drop of liquid in 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools – which is 1000 […] |Research

Researchers have developed a new method to help artificial intelligence (AI) extract 3D information from 2D images, making cameras more useful tools for these emerging technologies. “Existing techniques for extracting 3D information from 2D images are good, but […] |Faculty, Research
