In this work, the motion parameters of the bi-directionally predicted pictures (B-pictures) of MPEG-1,2 are exploited for concealment of large portions of corrupted anchor pictures that might arise due to channel errors or packet losses. To further enhance the quality of the concealed anchor pictures, we propose two methods of constraining the motion vectors of the B-pictures that strengthen th...

IT is a frequent observation that persons who go through a great deal of trouble or pain to attain something tend to value it more highly than persons who attain the same thing with a minimum of effort. For example, one would expect persons who travel a great distance to see a motion picture to be more impressed with it than those who see the same picture at a neighborhood theater. By the same ...

a. The theater evacuation policy affects the number of beds required to support the TO. A patient requiring 59 days of hospitalization also requires a bed and a medical staff for 59 days. He requires this whether the entire period is spent in the theater, or divided between 29 days in the theater and 30 days in CONUS. The most intensive and demanding medical requirements are experienced during ...

When our demo team decided to implement a real-time version of the Animusic Pipe Dream Animation shown in the SIGGRAPH 2001 Electronic Theater, we realized that we needed to create a fast, reliable technique for rendering a convincing motion blur effect for the many balls moving around the complicated music machine shown in Figure 1. Although enough approaches existed for simulating motion-blur...

Due to its mechanical nature motion picture film has to cope with inaccuracies in positioning the single image in the moment of exposure, projection and scanning. This is the reason for steadiness errors that manifest in a jitter of the whole image. This jitter is not limited to translations but may also include rotational and shearing motion components. The amplitude of these erroneous movemen...

The effect of height in the picture plane on the remembered location of ascending or descending targets was examined. Consistent with previous research, memory was displaced forward in the direction of motion. The magnitude of forward displacement was larger for targets low in the picture plane than for targets high in the picture plane, and this was observed with ascending motion and with desc...

using theater in the treatment as well as education traced back to several thousand years ago. in fact, drama therapy has been used for a long time in clinics and rehabilitation/treatment centers. children theater experts intend to adopt this approach outside of the confined framework of clinics and make it as a general method in the society. in other words, let it face the theater’s large audi...
