Automatic miscalibration detection and correction of LiDAR and camera using motion cues by Peng, Pai, Pi, Dawei, Yin, Guodong, Wang, Yan, Xu, Liwei, Feng, Jiwei

“…Then, as sensor drift occurs, the projection constraints between visual feature points and LiDAR 3-D points are used to compute the scaled camera motion, which is further utilized to align the drifted LiDAR scan with the camera image. Finally, the proposed method is sufficiently compared with two representative approaches in the online experiments with varying levels of random drift, then the method is further extended to the offline calibration experiment and is demonstrated by a comparison with two existing benchmark methods.…”

Imaging sodium dendrite growth in all‐solid‐state sodium batteries using 23Na T2‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging by Rees, GJ, Spencer Jolly, D, Ning, Z, Marrow, T, Pavlovskaya, GE, Bruce, P

“…A spalling dendritic morphology is observed and confirmed by more conventional post‐mortem analysis; X‐ray tomography and scanning electron microscopy. A significantly larger 23Na T2 for the dendritic growth, compared with the bulk metal electrode, is attributed to increased sodium ion mobility in the dendrite. 23Na T2‐contrast MRI of metallic sodium offers a clear, routine method for observing and isolating microstructural growths and can supplement the current suite of techniques utilised to analyse dendritic growth in all‐solid‐state cells.…”
