We describe the methodology, design considerations and practical implementation of an environment used in developing and testing video-based, multiview computer vision algorithms. The environment we have built is composed by a variety of heterogeneous hardware devices for acquisition and display, connected together into a coherent system by object-oriented software components. Much attention ha...

We propose a framework for developing online interactive experiments for training students to master the basic concepts of 3D Computer Graphics. As 3D Computer Graphics has applications in a large range of fields (visual arts, media, geography. etc.), we need to devote particular attention to students that are nonexperts in Computer Science and particularly in programming. We also have to take ...

Diagnostic imaging represents an important resource for computer-based education. A concept how a database for teaching may be integrated into a radiology information system is presented: Diagnosing radiologists identify images suitable for educational purposes and send them to a central database. The images are complemented with MeSH codes. An automated conversion from the standard DICOM forma...

In the present study, we propose a neurofeedback-based motor imagery training system for EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI). The proposed system can help individuals get the feel of motor imagery by presenting them with real-time brain activation maps on their cortex. Ten healthy participants took part in our experiment, half of whom were trained by the suggested training system and the o...

With high speed vessels getting ever more sophisticated, travelling at higher and higher speeds and operating in areas of high maritime traffic density, training becomes of the highest priority to ensure that safety levels are maintained, and risks are adequately mitigated. Training onboard the actual craft on the actual route still remains the most effective way for crews to gain experience. H...

Training humans in detecting deception is as much a difficult and important problem as detecting deception itself. A computer-based deception detection training system, Agent99 Trainer, was built with a goal to train humans to understand deception and detect deception more accurately. Based on the previous studies, a newer version of this system was designed and implemented not only to overcome...

Camera based tasks are commonly perfcrmed during orbital operations, and orbital lighting conditions, such as high contrast shadowing and glare, are a factor in performance. Computer based training using virtual environments is a common tool used to make and keep crew members proficient. If computer based training included some of these harsh lighting conditions, would the crew increase their p...

BACKGROUND Computer based methods are increasingly being used for training workers, although our understanding of how to structure this training has not kept pace with the changing abilities of computers. Information on a computer can be presented in many different ways and the style of presentation can greatly affect learning outcomes and the effectiveness of the learning intervention. Many qu...
