Image sequences are used in various fields, including medical imaging and satellite/airborne imaging. The comparison between images taken at different conditions (e.g. equipment or configuration, angles, weather and wavelength) can be a highly non-trivial problem, as subtraction artifacts can outnumber real changes betwe ...

Pulses are applied in various fields such as oil & gas exploration, detection (e.g. sonar, lidar and radar) and communication. When pulses pass through dispersive media, the arrival times at the detector of different frequency components may differ, and as a result the pulse may become degraded (e.g. transformed to a ...

Optical and dimensional limitations of images can be partially overcome today using signal enhancement technologies which typically rely on supervised, deep-learning methods. However, as existing methods are restricted to specific training images and distortion types, they provide poor results for any practical case, unl ... Read more

A method for aligning video images according to sequence. The problem of image alignment has been extensively studied, and successful approaches have been developed for solving this problem. However, these approaches turn out as problematic when there is insufficient overlap between the two images to allow extraction of ... Read more

Molecular photoswitches are light-responsive molecules with potential applications in a broad range of systems with on-demand functionalities. While molecular photoswitches have been extensively studied in solution, their immobilization to dry, planar surfaces generally renders them photochemically unresponsive. This inv ... Read more

A robust method of identifying moving or changing objects in a video sequence groups each pixel with other adjacent pixels according to either motion or intensity values. Pixels are then repeatedly regrouped into clusters in a hierarchical manner. As these clusters are regrouped, the motion pattern is refined, until the ... Read more

The alarmingly sharp increase in type 1 diabetes mellitus incidence in recent years has been coupled with a marked rise in the development of closed-loop systems aimed at continuously monitoring blood glucose levels, predicting glucose behavior and delivering adjusted insulin doses. However, to date, these systems still ... Read more

Many currently marketed animation tools enable users to define objects and provide them with motion, yet none enable the fast and automatic, animation of a full body captured in a single still photo. A new technology developed by a group of researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science, enables automatic transformat ... Read more
