Colours are three dimensional data. However, all commercial colour pickers project three-dimensional (3-D) colour spaces into two dimensional (2-D) palettes. The projection often results in a set of colours perceptually inappropriate to describe the data they present. This paper initially compares several popular 2-D colour pickers and then describes some novel colour pickers which allow colour...

The binary merging algorithm is the best general purpose merging algorithm known to date. Binary merge consists of two components: a rst component in which an array index is incremented by a number nearly equal to the ratio of the sizes of the two arrays being merged followed by a second component which is binary search. In this paper we formulate a simple algorithm called interpolation merge, ...

New phenomena and results are reported that implicate a common contour interpolation mechanism in illusory and occluded (modal and amodal) object completion. In 3 experiments, a speeded classification task was used to study novel quasimodal displays in which occluded and illusory contours join. Results showed the same advantages in speed and accuracy over control displays for quasimodal, illuso...

A stochastic perception-control coupling is introduced for anticipative road following on satellite-roadwayvehicle network. Based on the prediction of roadway pattern in the satellite image, maneuverable area is coded in terms of a fractal attractor confined in the image of observed scene by boundary probability. Random shift of the boundary probability is detected via the perception process an...

The interpolation step of Wu list decoding algorithm for Reed-Solomon codes is considered. The problem is reformulated as construction of a partially homogenized interpolation polynomial. A generalization of the binary interpolation algorithm, which is based on the novel formulation of the interpolation step, is provided. It enables complexity reducion both with respect to the Wu method based o...

The aim of this article is to introduce a generalization of the interpolation remainder in multivariate interpolation and to study it, in least interpolation schemes and in minimal interpolation ones. This generalization, we named λ-remainder, allows us a deeper analysis of the error in the interpolation process. Connected to the λ remainder, we introduced the notion of λ error order of interpo...

the date of receipt and acceptance should be inserted later] Summary. In this paper we combine an earlier method developed with K. Jetter on general cardinal interpolation with constructions of compactly supported solutions for cardinal interpolation to gain compactly supported fundamental solutions for the general interpolation problem. The general interpolation problem admits the interpolatio...

A new low order facet type triangular shell finite element is presented. The element is combined from the Arnold-Falk plate bending element and the membrane element based on the noncorming element of Crouzeix-Raviart with conforming drilling rotation. Formulation of the membrane element is based on the variational principle of Hughes and Brezzi employing independent rotation field. Interpolatio...

Based on the principle of blackbody radiation, sapphire optic fiber temperature sensor has been more widely used in recent years, and its temperature range is between 800 ~ 2000 oC, and the response time is in 10-2 magnitude, and transient temperature measurement can be high precision in harsh environments. Nonlinear constraints on sapphire fiber temperature sensor affect the accuracy and stabi...

properties of the hybrid of block-pulse functions and lagrange polynomials based on the legendre-gauss-type points are investigated and utilized to define the composite interpolation operator as an extension of the well-known legendre interpolation operator. the uniqueness and interpolating properties are discussed and the corresponding differentiation matrix is also introduced. the appli...
