Starspot trek: The motion picture

Motion Picture Reconstruction

Gross and microscopic studies of the auriculoventricular conduction system were performed in 60 human hearts. A unique technic is introduced which will produce a photographic. record of undistorted serial sections through a block containing the auriculoventricular node, auriculoventricular bundle and branches. By projecting the completed film as a motion picture, the course and changing relatio...

Piracy In The Motion Picture Industry (review)

Asthma—snapshot or motion picture?

Asthma is a complex disease physiologically characterized by shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing (Holgate, 2011). In response to a variety of stimuli, the airways become more sensitive leading to bronchial hyperresponsiveness (Sterk and Bel, 1989; Scichilone et al., 2006; Kang et al., 2012). Consequently, in a process known as bronchoconstriction, airways become narrower, impeding the n...

Starspot Imaging with the CHARA Array

We present the first results of a starspot interferometric imaging program targeting the chromospherically active giant Lambda Andromedae. Our images are constructed using a new starspot model that incorporates a power limb darkening law and starspot foreshortening. The model solutions are determined through χ minimization of observed squared visibilities, triple amplitudes and closure phase. M...

Motion-Compensated Noise Reduction in B&W Motion Picture Films

Blotchy noise is one of the most common and visually annoying noises noticed in digitized black-and-white motion picture films. This work investigates presents a three-stage blotchy noise reduction scheme combining efforts of temporal median filtering and motioncompensated filtering after joint motion/noise detection. Implementation of each module of the scheme is discussed and finally performa...
