We present a model and a calibration procedure for a 360 × 360 mosaic camera. The camera is composed of an omnidirectional camera rotated on a circular path, therefore it can observe 360◦ in both the vertical and the horizontal direction. It has a simple model and a linear epipolar geometry, when carefully set up. We show how to recover defects in an assembly of the camera using only images of ...

BACKGROUND The evaluation of professional behaviors and concepts of postgraduate first-year (PGY1) residents has been identified as an area for development. This study examined the efficiency of the professionalism-assessing objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), 360° evaluation, and mini-Clinical Examination Exercise scores (mini-CEX; p-OSCE, p-360° evaluation, and p-mini-CEX scores...

Glioma is a brain tumor that arises from glial cells or glial progenitor cells, and represents 80% of malignant brain tumor incidence in the United States. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor malignancy with fewer than 8% of patients with GBM surviving for more than 3 years. Over the past 10 years, despite improvement in diagnosis and therapies for cancer, t...

protein with similarity to flavin-containing monooxygenases; 1w4x, phenylacetone monooxygenase. This article has not been copyedited and formatted. The final version may differ from this version. Abstract To characterize the contribution of amino acid 360 to the functional activity of the human flavin-containing monooxygenase form 3 (FMO3) and form 1 (FMO1) in the oxygenation of drugs and chemi...

Z-360, a novel cholecystokinin(2) (CCK(2)) receptor antagonist, has been developed as a therapeutic drug for pancreatic cancer and showed pain relief action in phase Ib/IIa clinical trial. This study was attempted to elucidate the analgesic efficacy of Z-360 in mice. Oral administration of Z-360 (30-300 mg/kg) showed a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the late phase of nociceptive responses ...

Here we formulate two field redefinitions for N=4 Super Yang-Mills in light cone superspace that generates only MHV vertices in the new Lagrangian. After careful consideration of the S-matrix equivalence theorem, we see that only the canonical transformation gives the MHV Lagrangian that would correspond to the CSW expansion. Being in superspace, it is easier to analyse the equivalence theorem ...

In contrast to traditional video, immersive video allows viewers to interactively control their field of view in a 360ı panoramic scene. However, established methods for the comparative evaluation of gaze data for video require that all participants observe the same viewing area. We therefore propose new specialized visualizations and a novel visual analytics framework for the combined analysis...

3-D cinematography is a new step towards full immersive video, allowing complete control of the viewpoint during playback both in space and time. One major challenge towards this goal is precise scene reconstruction, either implicit or explicit. While some approaches exist which are able to generate a convincing geometry proxy, they are bound to many constraints, e.g., accurate camera calibrati...

The creation of life-like believable characters is emerging as the central focus of next-generation game development and is viewed as critical to obtaining true mass-market appeal. Reactive crowd simulation is a critical component in creating believable character. The demo runs on a Xbox 360 and shows the following crowd behaviors. A typical downtown is populated with pedestrians and vehicles. ...

We presents a technique for 360 x 360 mosaicing with a very wide field of view fish eye lens. Standard camera calibration is extended for lenses with a field of view bigger than 180◦. We demonstrate the calibration on a Nikon FCE8 fish eye converter, which is an example of a low-cost lens with 183◦ field of view. We illustrate the use of this lens on one application, the 360 x 360 mosaic which ...
