We had an Engineering photo shoot today, so we decided to take one of our own (for those that could make it)!

Congrats to Matt for his award winning work! Our paper, “Variable Precision Depth Encoding for 3D Range Geometry Compression,” that details a more flexible 3D data / depth compression method won the Best Student Paper award from the 3D Measurement and Data Processing conference at IS&T’s International Symposium on Electronic Imaging, 2020.

Prof. Bell will be giving a talk, “Digitizing Our 3D World,” on November 12 at the Science Center of Iowa (SCI) in Des Moines, IA as part of their Café Scientifique series. There is a social reception from 5:30pm-6:00pm with the talk to take place between 6:00pm-7:30pm. The event is free and open to the public.

Our paper, “Variable precision depth encoding for 3D range geometry compression,” has been accepted to Electronic Imaging 2020 (3DMP)! Congrats to first author, Matthew G. Finley 👏

Looking forward to seeing everyone in January!

Our pilot project, “EchoSee: an assistive technology platform for simulating human echolocation to assist those who are blind or severely visually impaired with safe and independent navigation,” has been funded from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Visual Loss (CPTVL). We are very grateful for the CPTVL’s support!

Our journal paper was chosen for the cover of Applied Optics newest issue! Cheers!

Our paper, “Two-Channel Depth Encoding for 3D Range Geometry Compression,” has been published in Applied Optics. Congrats to Matt on his first publication!
