Building a system to actively visualize extremely large data sets on large tiled displays in a real time immersive environment involves a number of challenges. First, the system must be completely scalable to support the rendering of large data sets. Second, it must provide fast, constant frame rates regardless of user viewpoint or model orientation. Third, it must output the highest resolution...

This paper reports on the design of a lexical database for English which is currently under construction ("FrameNet-2" ), and describes the kinds of linguistic facts that the database is intended to make available, for both human and computer consumers. Building on a recently completed pilot study ("FrameNet-1" ), it is centered on the nature of the relation between lexical meanings and the con...

Finite affine groups are given by groups of translations and di- lations on finite cyclic groups. For cyclic groups of prime order we develop a time-scale (wavelet) analysis and show that for a large class of non-zero window signals/vectors, the generated full cyclic wavelet system constitutes a frame whose canonical dual is a cyclic wavelet frame.

To what extent do frame-building and frame-setting processes manifest themselves in the interplay between online public discourse and traditional (offline) media discourse? Employing a content analysis of 206 online posts and 114 news reports regarding a sociopolitical incident in China, we test the associations and causal relationships between the salience of opinion frames and media frames. O...

This study investigates the effect of different link beam lengths in the Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame retrofitted with the Linked Column Frame (LCF) system. It also investigates the ratio of the link beam length (e) to the span length of the RC frame (L) from 0 to 1.5 for the 9 models of the RC frame retrofitted by the LCF system has been investigated. In addition, it studies the formation of...

3D mosaicing consists in building a geometric representation, in the form of of an object or scene, given a set of different views. The representation consists of a surface mesh made of triangles or quadrilaterals. We consider a specific version of this problem, where: input consists of a sequence of range images; and output must be produced on-line, i.e., by building the mosaic frame by frame,...

in this paper the rehabilitation of concrete structures with a new system is considered. in this system pre- stressed cables with energy dissipating viscous spring dampers at the end of each cable, are used to increase structure lateral stiffness. cable system can be replaced with other system due to their high tensile resistance, their easy replacement, high speed performance, economical matte...

Wave-propagation effects can be useful in determining the system identification of buildings such as the densely instrumented University of California, Los Angeles, Factor building. Waveform data from the 72-channel array in the 17-story moment-resisting steel frame Factor building are used in comparison with finiteelement calculations for predictive behavior. The high dynamic range of the 24-b...

Aiming at the difficult for identifying the alterable length frames, a specific method of frame synchronization is proposed to solve the problem of frame synchronization for the adaptive frame length system. In the novel method, the core innovation about new frame format has been done. Based on the new frame format, the alterable length frames are demarcated by searching Frame Synchronization H...

This paper describes the continuing development of a system for tracking multiple man made objects, (typically vehicles) moving in a natural open world scene, where the detected motion is used to construct a structural representation of the scene. The system assumes no a priori knowledge of any structure within the image, but begins building a map of the scene on a frame by frame basis. The map...
