High dynamic range 3-D shape measurement is a challenge. In this work, we propose a novel method to solve the 3-D shape reconstruction of high-reflection and colored surfaces. First, we propose a ...

Irish company Mcor's unique paper-based 3D printers make some very compelling arguments. For starters, instead of expensive plastics, they build objects out of cut-and-glued sheets of standard 80 GSM ...

Are you fond of drawing some random doodles? Have you ever imagined some magic tricks that would transform your boring 2D picture into a realistic 3D model? Well then, turning a 2D shape into a 3D ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) From the vivid blues and greens of peacock feathers to the shimmering reds of ruby crystals, structural color in nature provides some of the most dazzling displays that delight ...

Fluorescent materials have attracted widespread attention for information encryption owing to their stimuli-responsive color-shifting. However, the 2D encoding of fluorescent images poses a risk of ...
