CMOS imagers are complex systems whose design requires quite different pieces of expertise, namely: pixels, analog signal processing, pixel readout and analog-to-digital conversion, digital signal processing, output drivers, etc. Confronting the design of new imagers require hence the concourse of multidisciplinary teams. However, because correct operation calls for the close interconnection among the different parts, global knowledge is mandatory for successful design. This is particularly pertinent for the newer generations of smart imagers required for high-end applications and/or requiring ultra-high image capture, on-chip image correction, scene interpretation, high dynamic range capture, etc. All these features demand architectural and circuital innovations and pose significant challenges to designers. Also, the increased interest on sensors capable of capturing 3-D scenes raise new challenges at circuit level related to the necessity to interface pixels different from those employed for 2-D capture, on the one hand, and to extract and convert to digital domain time information, on the other hand. This tutorial addresses the design of smart CMOS imagers by following a comprehensive and complete top-down approach where each subsystem is contemplated and described as a part of a whole. Starting the formulation of the performance metrics used to specify and characterize imagers, the tutorial explains how the subsystem behavior and non-idealities impact on the global imager metrics, thereby setting the basis to specify the subsystems for given global image sensor specs. Such methodology is illustrated in the tutorial via a dedicated, MATLAB-based modeling tool which will be employed to allow the attendees gaining insight on the impact of non-ideal sub-systems behaviors. The tutorial overviews the state-of-the-art regarding: pixels; analog signal processing and read-out circuitry; data conversion circuitry, covering both amplitude data converters (required for 2-D

One of the main concerns in a tokamak is the risk of disruptions with asymmetric halo currents flowing partially in the plasma and partially in the surrounding structures. A detailed 3D description of the full torus is therefore needed. This paper proposes a method for the 3D halo current analysis based on an integral formulation, exploiting compression techniques, parallel architectures, and suitable preconditioners. The procedure is shown to work in an ITER-like geometry.
We propose an efficient algorithm that computes the Morse-Smale complex for 3D gray-scale images. This complex allows for an efficient computation of persistent homology since it is, in general, much smaller than the ...

We have constructed numerically non-Abelian vortices in an SU(2) Chern-Simons-Higgs theory with a quartic Higgs potential. We have analyzed these solutions in detail by means of improved numerical codes and found some unexpected features we did not find when a sixth-order Higgs potential was used. The generic non-Abelian solutions have been generated by using their corresponding Abelian counterparts as initial guess. Typically, the energy of the non-Abelian solutions is lower than that of the corresponding Abelian one (except in certain regions of the parameter space). Regarding the angular momentum, the Abelian solutions possess the maximal value, although there exist non-Abelian solutions which reach that maximal value too. In order to classify the solutions it is useful to consider the non-Abelian solutions with asymptotically vanishing At component of the gauge potential, which may be labeled by an integer number m. For vortex number n=3 and above, we have found uniqueness violation: two different non-Abelian solutions with all the global charges equal. Finally, we have investigated the limit of infinite Higgs self-coupling parameter and found a piecewise Regge-like relation between the energy and the angular momentum.

This tutorial provides a detailed introduction to mobile Augmented Reality (AR). AR is a key user-interface technology for personalized, situated information delivery, navigation, on-demand instruction and games. The widespread availability and rapid evolution of smartphones enables software-only solutions for AR where it was previously necessary to assemble custom hardware solutions. However, ergonomic and technical limitations of smartphones as a platform make this a challenging endeavor. In particular, it is necessary to design novel efficient real-time computer vision and computergraphics algorithms, and create new lightweight forms of interaction with the environment through small form-factor devices. This tutorial will present selected technical achievements in this field and highlight some examples of successful application prototypes.
