Three dimensional (3D) imaging technology has been widely used for many applications, such as human–computer interactions, making industrial measurements, and dealing with cultural relics. However, existing active methods often require both large apertures of projector and camera to maximize light throughput, resulting in a shallow working volume in which projector and camera are simultaneously in focus. In this paper, we propose a novel method to extend the working range of the structured light 3D imaging system based on the focal stack. Specifically in the case of large depth variation scenes, we first adopted the gray code method for local, 3D shape measurement with multiple focal distance settings. Then we extracted the texture map of each focus position into a focal stack to generate a global coarse depth map. Under the guidance of the global coarse depth map, the high-quality 3D shape measurement of the overall scene was obtained by local, 3D shape-measurement fusion. To validate the method, we developed a prototype system that can perform high-quality measurements in the depth range of 400 mm with a measurement error of 0.08%.

Three-dimensional object detection based on the fusion of millimeter-wave radar and cameras is increasingly gaining attention due to characteristics of low cost, high accuracy, and strong robustness. Recently, the bird’s eye view (BEV) fusion paradigm has dominated radar–camera fusion-based 3D object detection methods. In the BEV fusion paradigm, the detection accuracy is jointly determined by the precision of both image BEV features and radar BEV features. The precision of image BEV features is significantly influenced by depth estimation accuracy, whereas estimating depth from a monocular image is naturally a challenging, ill-posed problem. In this article, we propose a novel approach to enhance depth estimation accuracy by fusing camera perspective view (PV) features and radar perspective view features, thereby improving the precision of image BEV features. The refined image BEV features are then fused with radar BEV features to achieve more accurate 3D object detection results. To realize PV fusion, we designed a radar image generation module based on radar cross-section (RCS) and depth information, accurately projecting radar data into the camera view to generate radar images. The radar images are used to extract radar PV features. We present a cross-modal feature fusion module using the attention mechanism to dynamically fuse radar PV features with camera PV features. Comprehensive evaluations on the nuScenes 3D object detection dataset demonstrate that the proposed dual-view fusion paradigm outperforms the BEV fusion paradigm, achieving state-of-the-art performance with 64.2 NDS and 56.3 mAP.

Medical image segmentation plays a crucial role in clinical workflows, but domain shift often leads to performance degradation when models are applied to unseen clinical domains. This challenge arises due to variations in imaging conditions, scanner types, and acquisition protocols, limiting the practical deployment of segmentation models. Unlike natural images, medical images typically exhibit consistent anatomical structures across patients, with domain-specific variations mainly caused by imaging conditions. This unique characteristic makes medical image segmentation particularly challenging. To address this challenge, we propose a domain generalization framework tailored for medical image segmentation. Our approach improves robustness to domain-specific variations by introducing implicit feature perturbations guided by domain statistics. Specifically, we employ a learnable semantic direction selector and a covariance-based semantic intensity sampler to modulate domain-variant features while preserving task-relevant anatomical consistency. Furthermore, we design an adaptive consistency constraint that is selectively applied only when feature adjustment leads to degraded segmentation performance. This constraint encourages the adjusted features to align with the original predictions, thereby stabilizing feature selection and improving the reliability of the segmentation. Extensive experiments on two public multi-center benchmarks show that our framework consistently outperforms existing domain generalization approaches, achieving robust and generalizable segmentation performance across diverse clinical domains.
