We are actively recruiting PhD students, see details in the Join Us Tab.
This project fuses data from multiple sensors to improve the quality of the camera array system, leading to scalable, low-cost solution for pavement maintenance.
Using the principles from Structure from Motion (SfM), we can construct "camera arrays" in a series of camera positions. These camera arrays allow for instantaneous 3D reconstructions. This improvement in procedure allows us to capture dynamic events. This process also allows us to make the cameras mobile while scanning for 3D reconstructions.
To aid in the 3D Reconstructions, we provide GPS location data in images' metadata. We do this via sensor fusion between GPS & IMU data, using a Kalman Filter for location estimation.
By synchronizing high-frequency IMU data with the camera shutter, we record the exact rotational trajectory of the device during exposure. This motion data allows us to calculate a precise Point Spread Function (PSF)—a map of exactly how pixels smeared across the sensor. Unlike traditional "blind" deblurring that guesses motion, we use this known trajectory to mathematically reverse the smear (non-blind deconvolution), effectively restoring the sharp image hidden within the blur.
