In this Letter, we propose a live stacking algorithm based on star detection, description, and matching. A thresholding method based on Otsu and centralization is proposed to implement star detection. Then, a translation and rotation invariant descriptor is proposed to provide accurate feature matching. Extensive experiments illustrate that our proposed method is feasible in deep-sky image live stacking.展开更多

Three-dimensional（3D） human faces are becoming more and more important in consideration of the limits of two-dimensional face recognition. We propose an active binocular setup to obtain a 3D colorful human face using the band-limited binary patterns（BBLP） method. Two grayscale cameras capture the BBLP projected onto the target of human face by a digital light processing（DLP） projector synchronously. Then, a color camera captures a colorful image of the human face. The benefit of this system is that the 3D colorful human face can be obtained easily with an improved temporal correlation algorithm and the precalibration results between three cameras. The experimental results demonstrated the robustness, easy operation, and the high speed of this 3D imaging setup.展开更多
