Abstract

Digital holography has applications in bio-imaging because it can simultaneously obtain the amplitude and phase information of a microscopic sample in a single shot, thus facilitating non-contact, noninvasive observation of the 3D shape of transparent objects (phase objects, which can be mapped with the phase information,) and moving objects. The combination of digital holography and microscopy is called digital holographic microscopy (DHM). In this study, we propose a smartphone-based DHM system for 3D imaging that is compact, inexpensive, and capable of observing objects in real time; this system includes an optical system comprising a 3D printer using commercially available image sensors and semiconductor lasers; further, an Android-based application is used to reconstruct the holograms acquired by this optical system, thus outlining the amplitude and phase information of the observed object. Also, by utilizing scalable diffraction calculation methods and touchscreen interaction, we implemented zoom functionality through pinch-in gestures. The study results showed that the DHM system successfully obtained the amplitude and phase information of the observed object via the acquired holograms in an almost real time manner. Thus, this study showed that it is possible to construct a low cost and compact DHM system that includes a 3D printer to construct the optical system and a smartphone application to reconstruct the holograms. Furthermore, this smartphone-based DHM system's ability to capture, reconstruct, and display holograms in real time demonstrates its superiority and novelty over existing systems. This system is also expected to contribute to biology fieldwork and pathological diagnosis in remote areas.

Opacity Is Not Just Opacity

Web graphics travel with content across pages and themes, where changing backgrounds can require recoloring and maintenance. Opacity already makes a fixed object's appearance depend on its background, yet is usually understood only as how much the object obscures it. In fact, opacity controls the scaling of the object-background color difference; transparency is only one effect of this relationship. Zero places the output at the background and one at the source color, but difference scaling need not stop at either position. We retain the compositing expression and extend the coefficient domain from $[0,1]$ to the real numbers: negative values reverse the difference, whereas values above one expand it in the same direction. We focus on same-direction expansion for reusing Web graphics across backgrounds. Each object carries a fixed source color and coefficient, while the actual background determines the enhancement direction. Background-adaptive contrast enhancement thus becomes part of the object's compositing properties, reducing the design and maintenance of separate color variants. The implementation reuses the original equation without increasing the per-pixel arithmetic operation count within the same pipeline. Enumerating all 8-bit sRGB source colors on 16 predefined light and dark canvases, a fixed $α=1.1$ increases the contrast ratio in 99.8145% of combinations. Without changing source colors, 4.8346% of all combinations newly reach the $3:1$ contrast threshold. Output validation and timing across three browsers demonstrate implementation in the same WebGL pipeline, with no sustained additional runtime observed.

SsgCaps: A controlled dataset for the evaluation of sound scene generation algorithms

Sound Scene Generation is about the automatic synthesis of artificial sound scenes. We introduce SsgCaps, a publicly available dataset of human-engineered sound scenes wherein each scene matches a precisely structured prompt that guides the sampling process. The corresponding prompts are sampled from a predefined action-based typology that allows extensive sampling while retaining plausibility. SsgCaps is a sound scene dataset derived from the unpublished reference dataset for Task 7 of the 2024 DCASE Challenge edition, which contained private-and public-domain audio samples. In contrast, SsgCaps contains only public-domain audio samples, allowing us to open this dataset to the community. To make this dataset useful to the community, we first elaborate on the rationale for the prompt and dataset structure. We then perform a comparative quantitative analysis of the 2 versions of the dataset. To do so, we compare both versions to the audio synthesized by the SSG algorithms submitted to the challenge using Fr{é}chet Audio Distance (FAD) and Kernel Audio Distance (KAD) as well as perceptual ratings. This analysis shows only small differences, which enables us to recommend the open version for further benchmarking of SSG algorithms.

Constrained Program Generation for 3D Reaction Animation with a 0.8B Model

Visualizing a chemical reaction requires making its molecular changes visible while keeping the animation faithful to the stated chemistry. Equations, structural diagrams and molecular viewers provide complementary descriptions, but assembling an interactive three-dimensional explanation still requires specifying the changes and checking their consistency. We present ChemXRG, a domain-specific language (DSL) framework that addresses this gap by representing a reaction animation as an executable program. Persistent atom identifiers and explicit bond, charge and grouping operations connect the symbolic reaction to the displayed transformation. This shared representation lets generation, verification and rendering operate on the same account of what changes. Given known, atom-mapped reactant and product structures, reaction-grounded constraints fix input-determined facts and restrict action choices; execution checks validate the resulting transformation before geometry and frames are constructed. We implement this paradigm with a reaction-program corpus and ChemQwen, a trained 0.8B DSL generator. Paired and component evaluations show improved compiler acceptance and normalized full-program agreement under input-conditioned constraints, while identifying remaining failures that require execution checks. A public browser application demonstrates the connection from symbolic reaction descriptions to inspectable programs and interactive 3D animations.
