Test collections are a mainstay of information retrieval research. Since the 1990s, large reusable test collections have been developed in the context of...

Sensitivity scaling of dual frequency comb spectroscopy

Author(s)
Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
Coherent dual comb spectroscopy can harness many inherent strengths of frequency combs to provide high-resolution, high-accuracy measurements of a sample...

Tunable laser spectroscopy referenced with dual frequency combs

Author(s)
Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Ian R. Coddington, Esther Baumann, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
Frequency combs provide broadband spectroscopic measurements with high frequency accuracy and precision. However, because the comb power is distributed over a...

Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, David A. Yashar, Sunil Lee
This study demonstrates the performance improvements that can be achieved by accounting for the in-situ air flow distribution during the design phase of a heat...

Power Spectral Density: Is it right?

Author(s)
Ulf Griesmann, John Lehan, Jiyoung Chu
We concentrate on the instrumental issues surrounding power spectral density (PSD) determination, using as an example, the most common optical shop QA tool, the...

Quantifying How Lighting and Focus Affect Face Recognition Performance

Author(s)
J. R. Beveridge, David Bolme, Bruce A. Draper, Geof H. Givens, Yui M. Lui, P. Jonathon Phillips
Recent studies show that face recognition in uncontrolled images remains a challenging problem, although the reasons why are less clear. Changes in illumination...
