Proposal - Diploma Thesis ”Looking Through Time”
The initial idea of my diploma thesis was to realize certain parts of an AR application ”Looking Through Time” to support the following idea. A user captures a part of a building via his iPhone camera and views the captured scene augmented by a view on the scene centuries ago in the iPhone display. The system was intended to act in real-time thus adapting when the user changes perspective or po...
متن کاملReal-time and Automatic Close-up Retrieval from Compressed Videos
In this paper, we propose a thorough scheme, by virtue of camera zooming descriptor with two-level threshold, to automatically retrieve close-ups directly from MPEG compressed videos based on camera motion analysis. In the retrieval process, we build camera-motionbased semantic retrieval. To improve the coverage of the proposed scheme, we investigate close-up retrieval in all kinds of videos. E...
متن کاملEvolution and ClosE RElationships
Throughout history, humans have faced critical challenges that included finding a mate, keeping that mate, caring for kin, forming coalitions, and gaining some status. Solving each of these ancestral challenges involved forming a different type of social relationship. An evolutionary perspective suggests that there is a set of fundamentally different types of close relationships associated with...
متن کاملDeep water recycling through time
We investigate the dehydration processes in subduction zones and their implications for the water cycle throughout Earth's history. We use a numerical tool that combines thermo-mechanical models with a thermodynamic database to examine slab dehydration for present-day and early Earth settings and its consequences for the deep water recycling. We investigate the reactions responsible for releasi...
متن کاملEcology and evolution of extravagant feather ornaments
Despite only a fraction of all organisms having evolved extravagant secondary sexual characters, these have played an important conceptual, theoretical and empirical role in evolutionary biology (Darwin, 1871; Cronin, 1991; Andersson, 1994). Secondary sexual characters such as the antlers of deer and the train of the blue peacock Pavo cristatus are presumed to have arisen and be maintained as a...
