Before-and-after images of computer vision technology showing a city street in heavy snow — One of this year’s Metropolis Project grants is supporting work led by Felix Heide, an assistant professor of computer science, to improve the imaging and computer vision capabilities of sensors for autonomous vehicles. The left panel shows a street scene in heavy snow using a standard vehicle imaging system, while the right panel shows the output of ZeroScatter, a technique developed by Heide’s team that improves image quality and reveals objects at long distances, such as the house at the end of the road.

Photo of researchers — Princeton Senior Gabbie Acot (left) discusses her senior thesis exploring the reconstruction of traumatic head injuries with advisers Annegret Dettwiler-Danspeckgruber, principal investigator at the Neuroscience of Traumatic Brain Injury Research Laboratory at Princeton Neuroscience Institute (center), and Branko Glišić, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering (right). Acot combined her interests in medicine, engineering and neuroscience, offering a promising approach to understanding how the brain is injured during a concussive hit.

Coastal community with storm approaching and umbrella barrier tilted down — In a new approach to storm surge protection, a Princeton team created a preliminary design for dual-purpose kinetic umbrellas that would provide shade during fair weather and could be tilted in advance of a storm to form a flood barrier. This artistic rendering shows how a row of umbrellas could be deployed to protect a coastal community. Image courtesy of FotosFortheFuture/Shutterstock.com; modified by Mauricio Loyola
