Google Drive is the cloud platform for storing and organizing your Google Workspace files: documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and even media (images, audio, and video). If your Workspace account includes Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, you can prompt it to work with your files, such as asking it to analyze or sum up information from your Drive files. Obviously, this is quite convenient: Instead of having to load one or more files and search or read through them to find specific information — for example, about your business’ budget — you can just ask Gemini to analyze your files and provide a budget summary. Gemini can even access your Gmail and content from other Workspace tools (such as Google

arXiv:2609.31108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High dynamic range (HDR) video reconstruction from al\-ter\-na\-ting-exposure sequences remains challenging, especially in regions with extreme luminance variation. We propose a novel HDR reconstruction framework based on dual-stream registration and accurate pyramid fusion. Given three consecutive frames, our method computes optical flow directly with the central frame, while introducing a complementary midpoint displacement strategy to handle cases with severe overexposition. A pyramid fusion stage then merges the resulting radiance and LDR images into a final HDR output. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

Bioimaging technologies, such as fluorescence imaging (FI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are powerful tools in basic research and clinical medicine. But they have drawbacks. FI allows researchers to visualize cells and other biological processes at high resolution, but it lacks imaging depth. MRI can capture images deep within the body, but it lacks the single-cell resolution provided by FI. Furthermore, MRI contrast agents contain paramagnetic metals, such as gadolinium, that can potentially cause adverse side effects.
