It is commonly reported that the pupils of women are larger than those of men and the pupils of myopes larger than those of emmetropes. However, these reports are not supported by experimental procedures using objective measurements, controlled conditions, and adequate numbers of subjects. In this report the open-loop pupil size was measured objectively using dynamic infrared pupillometry in a ...

The pupillary light response has long been considered an elementary reflex. However, evidence now shows that it integrates information from such complex phenomena as attention, contextual processing, and imagery. These discoveries make pupillometry a promising tool for an entirely new application: the study of high-level vision.

There is an ongoing debate on whether binocular rivalry involves competition among monocular cells or binocular cells. We investigated this issue psychophysically with two specially designed test stimuli. One test stimulus contained monocular motion signals but greatly reduced binocular motion signals, while the other contained binocular motion signals but no monocular motion signals. For compa...

Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) are simply regular grids of elevation measurements over the land surface. DTMs are mainly extracted by applying the technique of stereo measurements on images available from photogrammetry and remote sensing. Enormous amounts of local and global DTM data with different specifications are now available. However, there are many geoscience and engineering applications...

Intensive monocular perceptual learning can improve visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and vernier acuity in the amblyopic eye in adults with amblyopia. It is however not clear how much monocular training can enhance binocular visual functions. In the current study, we aimed to evaluate effects of monocular training on a variety of binocular functions. Nineteen anisometropic amblyopes (18.5±1...

AIM To analyze changes of the optic nerve head (ONH) and peripapillary region during intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation in patients using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS Both an optic disc 200×200 cube scan and a high-definition 5-line raster scan were obtained from open angle glaucoma patients presented with monocular elevation of IOP (≥30 mm Hg) using SD-OCT...

Monocular 3D object detection aims to localize bounding boxes in an input single 2D image. It is a highly challenging problem and remains open, especially when no extra information (e.g., depth, lidar and/or multi-frames) can be leveraged training inference. This paper proposes simple yet effective formulation for monocular without exploiting any information. presents the MonoCon method which l...
