Taking Photos With Scotch Tape Instead Of A Lens Typically, when we want to take images, we use an image sensor paired with some sort of lens assembly to make a picture that’s sharply in focus. However, [okooptics] is here to show us there’s another way—using Scotch tape in place of a typical lens element. If you just put Scotch tape over an image sensor without a lens, you’ll just get a blurry image, whatever you point it at. With the right algorithms, though, it’s possible to recover an image from that mess, using special “lensless imaging” techniques. In particular, [okooptics] shows how to recreate the so-called coded aperture techniques which were previously demonstrated in [Laura Waller]’s DiffuserCam paper. It’s complicated stuff, but the video does a great job of breaking down the optics into understandable chunks. Armed with a Raspberry Pi HQ camera covered in a small amount of Scotch and electrical tape, [okooptics] is able to reconstruct a viable image from what initially looks like a blurry mess of nothingness, with the aid of the right deconvolution maths. It’s all about understanding the point spread function of the tape versus a regular lens, and figuring out how to fight off noise when reconstructing the image. We’ve featured previous work from [okooptics] before, too, like this impressive demonstration of light transport and reconstruction. Video after the break.

This is what I mean; #AI has been #coded with the assurity within its #programming that it can answer any question whatsoever. Some will blow up unless you do the wild card toggle #enhanced #prompt. That means AI can bail itself out or just do whatever it wants LOL.

I finally managed to test my #code for my Paxton's Wheel
for #prime_numbers and it worked. I ended up using a
#raspberry P400 keyboard #computer and #coded in #python.
The next post will be the whole #method or #algorithm (ugh).

Fantastic to start off this years SCR lunchtime talk series at @stannesoutreach.bsky.social - I asked “what’s in a table?” And talked about trials, external validity and the development of a core demographic dataset #CoDeD

What a beautiful autumn day and a great discussion #academicsky 🧪 #medsky

NOTE MY replies is a bit messy, im still new to #bsky but i hope this project will at least, work in theory, cuz then some coder could make take it and make it into practice, I am no real programmer, like all ive done is #reverse-engineer #malware, ive never..seriously - #coded #AI or #ML / #DL

Fucking state of play these #dazed. #AndConfused I think pulling finger nails out of #developers of this nonsense would really slow it down. It would hurt too much to typle & they DO NOT WANT to really let #AI code itself; they are ones believe AI will #eat us cuz they #coded it in there. Fuck me.
