Money Measure Measure Distances in Images Using a US Dollar Bill
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of this project is to make it easier to measure objects in day to day life. This is normally difficult to do because a ruler or tape measure is required, which is difficult to come by in many situations. Money Measure works by allowing you to use a smartphone camera to measure things. By taking a photo of an object next to a common US dollar bill, Money Measure can measure the distance between any two points in the scene. The dollar bill is automatically detected and utilized as a reference to real world distances. Additionally, the image is analyzed such that the image can be taken from a nonperpendicular angle the measurement will still be accurate.

Stimuli associated with monetary reward can become powerful cues that effectively capture visual attention. We examined whether such value-driven attentional capture can be induced with monetary feedback in the absence of an expected cash payout. To this end, we implemented images of U.S. dollar bills as reward feedback. Participants knew in advance that they would not receive any money based o...
متن کاملThe Money Pump as a Measure of Revealed Preference Violations
We introduce a measure of the severity of violations of the revealed preference axioms, which we call the money pump index (MPI). The measure is based on the idea that a consumer who violates the axioms is subject to being exploited as a money pump. The MPI has a simple interpretation as the certain dollar amount that can be extracted from a consumer who behaves irrationally. We carry out an em...
