We have recently proposed a dual-route model of the effect of head orientation on perceived gaze direction (Otsuka, Mareschal, Calder, & Clifford, 2014; Otsuka, Mareschal, & Clifford, 2015), which computes perceived gaze direction as a linear combination of eye orientation and head orientation. By parametrically manipulating eye orientation and head orientation, we tested the adequacy of a line...

We evaluated orientation discrimination in color and luminance vision using an external noise paradigm. Stimuli were spatiotemporal patches of 2D orientation noise isolating the achromatic, red-green and blue-yellow mechanisms, and matched in multiples of contrast detection threshold. We found a monotonic increase of orientation discrimination thresholds with the stimuli orientation bandwidths ...

This paper discusses the accuracies of two methods for automatic image orientation, 3D reconstruction, and extraction of textures of building facades from thermal IR image sequences. The first method uses the image sequence and camera calibration information only to reconstruct the scene in model coordinates and coregisters this model to a given 3D building model to derive optimized orientation...

Abstract The purpose of this research is to understand the transient fiber orientation and the associated rheology of long glass fiber (> 1mm) reinforced polypropylene, in a well-defined simple shear flow, to extend the results and knowledge gained from these fundamental experiments to the use of simulating (more complex) molding processes. Specifically, we are interested in associating the rhe...

School buildings forming a large part of public buildings are among the most important consumers of energy in Iran. Given the existing construction conditions, these buildings seem to have considerable potential for energy efficiency if the construction and design methods are reformed. Therefore, numerous researchers have analyzed geometrical factors influencing energy consumption in buildings,...
