OpenHeritage3D.org is an open access repository for LiDAR and photogrammetry data related to cultural heritage. As the world changes these snapshots in time are of increasing importance, they must be preserved and maintained in a way which
Interdisciplinary partners at UC San Diego are using drones and 3D-modeling to save Puerto Rico’s indigenous history from the sea. In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in late 2018, Eric Lo, an [...] With help from technology developed by UC…
The Modular Testbed Building, or MTB2, will be the first specimen tested on the newly upgraded 6 degrees of freedom Large High Performance Outdoor Shake Table (LHPOST6). The MTB2 is designed to be reconfigurable and reusable community share…
The Robotics Cape brings the power of the BeagleBone Black to your robotics project with almost no setup time. Built by engineers for engineers, the Robotics Cape is loaded with innovative features and a library designed to effortlessly tak…
Computer vision algorithms are often burdened for embedded implementation due to integration time and system complexity. Many commercial systems prevent low-level image processing customization and hardware optimization due to the largely p…
Image demosaicing and rectification are key tasks that are frequently used in many computer vision systems. To date, however, their implementations have been plagued with large memory requirements and inconvenient dataflow, making it diffic…
ALERTCalifornia provides state-of-the-art technology that supports data-driven decisions to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters. Based at the University of California San Diego, ALERTCalifornia is a public safety pro…
Current multi-rotor designs typically arrange their propellers in the same plane, or with a small radially-symmetric inward tilt, in order to provide efficient vertical thrust. This results in an under-actuated system that must roll and pitc…
Over the past few years, it has become more and more common to find researchers and scientists looking into natural species for insights that lead to discoveries or new ways of doing things. We have seen numerous examples of men and women w…
The point-based visual analytics engine (Viscore) started as an expedition into the emerging challenges of BIG-DATA analytics over a decade ago when data from large-scale sensor networks, parallel and distributed simulations, and data synth…
The SunCAVE is a 360-degree, virtual reality space. The model for this will be a room at QI currently outfitted with 70 3D stereo ultra-high definition 4K panels (45 screens in front and another 25 behind) driven by 70 Nvidia 1080 GPUs. The…
University of California San Diego professor and world-renowned composer Lei Liang has won the 2020 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition for his orchestral work that both evokes the realities of climate change — rising oceans, flooded cit…
