An experiment examined the impact of indirect social monitoring on memory distortions found in ‘egoistic self-enhancers’, that is, individuals prone to self-reporting enhanced traits related to social status and dominance (Paulhus & John, 1998). One-hundred-and-sixty-six students from a large urban university (117 women and 49 men, mean age = 23.0 years) were randomly assigned to two conditions...

Although considerable work has been done in management of “structured” video such as movies, sports, and television programs that has known scene structures, “unstructured” video analysis is still a challenging problem due to its unrestricted nature. The purpose of this paper is to address issues in the analysis of unstructured video and in particular video shot by a typical unprofessional user...

Communication and collaboration using stored digital media has garnered more interest by many areas of business, government and education in recent years. This is due primarily to improvements in the quality of cameras and speed of computers. An advantage of digital media is that it can serve as an effective alternative when physical interaction is not possible. Video recordings that allow for ...

As a surveillance camera for the security of urban area, a single pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera has been used. For effective application of the video sequence of the single PTZ camera, accurate orientation or calibration of the video sequence is needed. This paper proposes a mathematical model based on the collinearity condition equation for relative orientation estimation between frames from vide...

Multicamera vehicle tracking is a necessary part of any video-based intelligent transportation system for extracting different traffic parameters such as link travel times and origin/destination counts. In many applications, it is needed to locate traffic cameras disjoint from each other to cover a wide area. This paper presents a method for tracking moving vehicles in such camera networks. The...

The system in this paper generates a ceiling map from video obtained by an upward camera of a moving indoor robot. The map is shared by robots for auto-localization. When the floor is not flat, automatically estimated location contains error. We compensate the error by utilizing video from a forward camera of the robot. In the system, a remote server estimates the location based on data transmi...

Within a project whose objective is to develop a small-size 3D sensor combining a video camera with a 3D laser-based \camera", this paper describes the current status of the laser camera. The prototype of the laser camera is operational and is able to produce 3D \images" with good deenition at high speed. Because of size constraints, some of the control electronics are implemented in an FPGA. T...
