Abstract

Holography is a promising approach to implement the three-dimensional (3D) projection beyond the present two-dimensional technology. True 3D holography requires abilities of arbitrary 3D volume projection with high-axial resolution and independent control of all 3D voxels. However, it has been challenging to implement the true 3D holography with high-reconstruction quality due to the speckle. Here, we propose the practical solution to realize speckle-free, high-contrast, true 3D holography by combining random-phase, temporal multiplexing, binary holography, and binary optimization. We adopt the random phase for the true 3D implementation to achieve the maximum axial resolution with fully independent control of the 3D voxels. We develop the high-performance binary hologram optimization framework to minimize the binary quantization noise, which provides accurate and high-contrast reconstructions for 2D as well as 3D cases. Utilizing the fast operation of binary modulation, the full-color high-framerate holographic video projection is realized while the speckle noise of random phase is overcome by temporal multiplexing. Our high-quality true 3D holography is experimentally verified by projecting multiple arbitrary dense images simultaneously. The proposed method can be adopted in various applications of holography, where we show additional demonstration that realistic true 3D hologram in VR and AR near-eye displays. The realization will open a new path towards the next generation of holography.

VideoPulse: Neonatal heart rate and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) estimation from contact free video

Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) enables contact free monitoring of vital signs and is especially valuable for neonates, since conventional methods often require sustained skin contact with adhesive probes that can irritate fragile skin and increase infection control burden. We present VideoPulse, a neonatal dataset and an end to end pipeline that estimates neonatal heart rate and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) from facial video. VideoPulse contains 157 recordings totaling 2.6 hours from 52 neonates with diverse face orientations. Our pipeline performs face alignment and artifact aware supervision using denoised pulse oximeter signals, then applies 3D CNN backbones for heart rate and SpO2 regression with label distribution smoothing and weighted regression for SpO2. Predictions are produced in 2 second windows. On the NBHR neonatal dataset, we obtain heart rate MAE 2.97 bpm using 2 second windows (2.80 bpm at 6 second windows) and SpO2 MAE 1.69 percent. Under cross dataset evaluation, the NBHR trained heart rate model attains 5.34 bpm MAE on VideoPulse, and fine tuning an NBHR pretrained SpO2 model on VideoPulse yields MAE 1.68 percent. These results indicate that short unaligned neonatal video segments can support accurate heart rate and SpO2 estimation, enabling low cost non invasive monitoring in neonatal intensive care.

Synthetic Fingerprints for Children Under Four: Generation and Biometric Evaluation

Fingerprint recognition in children under four is of interest for longitudinal identity applications, but research in this age range is constrained by the limited availability and sensitivity of real fingerprint data. Synthetic data may provide a useful complementary resource if generated samples are carefully evaluated for biometric quality, similarity to the real training data, and identity diversity. This paper presents an evaluation and selection protocol for synthetic fingerprints generated from a small pediatric dataset. The protocol was applied to 32,000 candidates produced by an age-conditioned generator fine-tuned with 205 fingerprints from nine children. Candidates were evaluated using NFIQ 2, NBIS minutiae extrac-tion and matching, fingerprint-pattern classification, similarity to the complete real reference set, and pairwise similarity among retained synthetic samples. After candidate filtering and a final symmetric pairwise verification, 1,985 synthetic fingerprints remained. The youngest age group continued to produce retained samples within the sampling budget, whereas the oldest original age group produced 24 retained prints. A data-derived two-group age representation improved pattern-distribution agreement for the younger group. Repeated renderings of fixed synthetic iden-tities produced minutiae-based mated scores comparable to the real mated scores, although a DINOv2 texture representation showed substantially greater within-generator similarity. The results indicate that synthetic pediatric fingerprints can support controlled research use, but their evaluation should include both real-to-synthetic similarity and synthetic-to-synthetic diversity, and conclusions should remain specific to the matchers and measurements used.

Adaptive Color Grading

Independent control of tonescale regions (e.g., shadows, highlights) is essential for painters, photographers and cinematographers to bring 2D images to life. In image manipulation software this is most directly addressed by color grading modules, which use intensity thresholds to segment distinct illumination regions for local manipulation. In this work we develop an open source color grading tool and use it to annotate a large dataset of video frames with tonescale region thresholds. Using these thresholds we conduct modeling experiments with strategies based on both practitioners' conventional wisdom and machine learning. Results show that K-nearest neighbors is an effective prediction strategy, outperforming state-of-the-art end-to-end methods for image enhancement. This outcome demonstrates the benefit of focusing on a compact set of core parameters when modeling creative stylization processes. Our adaptive color grading interface and data are available at https://github.com/SamsungLabs/adaptive-color-grading.
