Beta or VHS

The Victory of VHS against Betamax

This paper wishes to contribute to the ongoing debate on standardization processes by addressing on the economic and social aspects that shape the creation and diffusion of standards. The aim of the paper is to deal with a clear gap in the literature, as evolution of standards over time has not been fully explored. Indeed, mainstream literature tends to treat creation and diffusion as two disti...

Outbreak of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) in seawater-farmed rainbow trout in Norway caused by VHS virus Genotype III.

We describe the finding of a novel viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) Genotype III strain that caused disease of both a neurological and septicaemic nature in seawater-farmed rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss in Storfjorden, Norway. In November 2007, an outbreak of VHS associated with slightly elevated mortality was confirmed at a seawater site rearing rainbow trout (90 to 440 g). With...

VHS to VRML: 3D Graphical Models from Video Sequences

We describe a method to completely automatically recover 3D scene structure together with a camera for each frame from a sequence of images acquired by an unknown camera undergoing unknown movement. Previous approaches have used calibration objects or landmarks to recover this information, and are therefore often limited to a particular scale. The approach of this paper is far more general, sin...

Application of a S-VHS Camcorder in Architectural Photogrammetry

Improvements and new developments in the fields of sensor and computer technology have had a major impact on photogrammetry. Nowadays a variety of cameras and photogrammetric systems is available. The application of a S-VHS camcorder together with a system for Digital Photogrammetry and Architectural Design in architectural photogrammetry is demonstrated on a practical object. The imaging syste...
