Abstract: We introduce FocalPose++, a neural render-and-compare method for jointly estimating the camera-object 6D pose and camera focal length given a single RGB input image depicting a known object.

Abstract: To achieve high spatial resolution of X-ray imaging, the focal spot size of high-energy nondestructive testing electron accelerators has been progressively reduced from 2 to below 1 mm, and, ...

Our own planet represents a tiny fraction of the peculiar phenomena that can be found lurking throughout the cosmos, and every day astronomers turn up new surprises. In this gallery, we take a look at ...

SAN DIEGO—At a party atop a waterfront hotel, researchers kicked back with cocktails like the Burning TPU, made of honey, bourbon and Sardinian myrtle liqueur, and named after Google’s custom AI chip.
