Learning Lens Blur Fields

Lens blur field shown in step 2 is from the dual pixels of a Pixel 4a. Abstract Optical blur is an inherent property of any lens system and is challenging to model in modern cameras because of their complex optical elements. To tackle this challenge, we introduce a high‑dimensional neural representation of blur—the lens blur field—and a practical method for acquisition. The lens blur field is a multilayer perceptron (MLP) designed to (1) accurately capture variations of the lens 2‑D point sprea

Grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that will decompose

A new study from South Dakota State University reveals how grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that is stronger than traditional plastic and will decompose in the environment in a relatively short amount of time. The need for biodegradable packaging material has never been higher. Currently, most packaging is "single use" and is made with plastic materials, derived from nonrenewable sources like crude oil that take hundreds of years to decompose in the environment. On t
