A Performance Study of Dielectric Metalens with Process-Induced Defects by Yanyan Zhou, Ting Hu, Yu Li, Nanxi Li, Yuan Dong, Dongdong Li, Yuan Hsing Fu, Qize Zhong, Zhengji Xu, Shiyang Zhu, Qunying Lin, Navab Singh

“…Yet, no fabrication is without defects or errors. By using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculation method, we study, in simulation, a set of common fabrication-induced errors such as inclined sidewall, critical dimension (CD) bias and process defects, and analyze their influences on the optical performances of two types of metalenses – one made of amorphous silicon and the other of silicon nitride. …”

Impact of eye fundus image preprocessing on key objects segmentation for glaucoma identification by Sandra Virbukaitė, Jolita Bernatavičienė

“…Therefore, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the mage preprocessing impact on OD and OC segmentation in different eye fundus images aligned by size. We adopted a mixed training data strategy by combining images of DRISHTI-GS, REFUGE, and RIM-ONE datasets, and applied image resizing incorporating various interpolation methods, namely bilinear, nearest neighbor, and bicubic for image resolution alignment. …”

Validation of a Multi-Segment Kinematic Foot Model and Optical Motion Capture Using Bi-Planar X-Ray Fluoroscopy and a Markerless RSA Approach by Aida Valevicius, Kristen Bushey, Thomas Jenkyn

“…The results indicated that the height-to-length ratio of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) and the transverse plane motion of the hindfoot were the most reliable kinematic measures, showing the best agreement between the optical motion capture and RSA methods. In contrast, the frontal plane motions of the hindfoot and forefoot showed the greatest differences, though these were not statistically significant at <i>p</i> < 0.05. …”
