ECE Seminar Speaker: Roarke Horstmeyer

Description

Roarke Horstmeyer, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Duke University, will give a talk titled "Computational 3D Video Microscopy with Multi-camera Arrays" for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.

Abstract:

We have developed a new type of computational microscope that uses a compact array of "micro-cameras" to jointly record high-resolution video across large areas. We refer to these novel systems as "multi-camera array microscopes" (MCAMs), which contain up to 96 individual synchronized image sensors and associated lenses to produce gigapixel-scale snapshot measurements. Co-designed software for image stitching, 3D image formation, and object tracking opens up a variety of new applications at the mesoscopic scale. Here, we detail a number of MCAM use cases, including for 3D video of dynamic specimens across large areas at near-cellular resolution, for rapid 3D screening of large collections of organoids, and for high-speed tomographic video capture of freely moving organisms.
