We used psychophysical reverse correlation to determine how directional signals are integrated across a time window of 300 ms. Directional tuning was time independent within the resolution of our measurements, as demonstrated by the fact that the perceptual filter was almost perfectly separable in its temporal and directional dimensions. The amplitude of the filter peaked very early (30-60 ms) ...

* This work was supported in part by NATO under grant 0103/88. Dr. Kleihorst is currently with Philips Research Laboratories, Eindhoven, the Netherlands. ABSTRACT Even original video sequences are often corrupted by a certain amount of noise. As a result of the gammacorrection in camera's, the observation noise is signaldependent. In this paper we present a spatio-temporal order statistic (OS) ...

We numerically show the possibility of pulse shaping in a passively mode-locked fiber laser by inclusion of a spectral filter into the laser cavity. Depending on the amplitude transfer function of the filter, we are able to achieve various regimes of advanced temporal waveform generation, including ones featuring bright and dark parabolic-, flat-top-, triangular- and saw-tooth-profiled pulses. ...

Email spam filters are commonly trained on a sample of recent spam and ham (non-spam) messages. We investigate the effect on filter performance of using samples of spam and ham messages sent months before those to be filtered. Our results show that filter performance deteriorates with the overall age of spam and ham samples, but at different rates. Spam and ham samples of different ages may be ...

We present a collection of command-line tools designed to generate, filter, convert, simplify, lists of Linear-time Temporal Logic formulas. These tools were introduced in the release 1.0 of Spot, and we believe they should be of interest to anybody who has to manipulate LTL formulas. We focus on two tools in particular: ltlfilt, to filter and transform formulas, and ltlcross to cross-check LTL...

The robustness against geometrical attacks remains one of the most challenging issues in watermarking of images and video. This paper presents an improvement of the video watermarking approach presented in [1], namely by using an amplitude-limiting filter and a high-pass filter to improve its watermark detection and using synchronization to resist attacks along temporal axis. Experimental resul...

We present an approach for human body parts tracking in 3D with prelearned motion models using multiple cameras. Gaussian process annealing particle filter is proposed for tracking in order to reduce the dimensionality of the problem and to increase the tracker’s stability and robustness. Comparing with a regular annealed particle filter-based tracker, we show that our algorithm can track bette...

A thorough analysis of low convergence speed and ghosting artifacts in temporal high-pass filter correction has been undertaken in this paper and it has found out that the keys of these problems are the interference of a large sum of unrelated scene information in the nonuniformity correction (NUC) process. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a new scene-based NUC technique based on bilateral...

In phase sampling interferometry, existing temporal analysis methods are sensitive to border effects and cannot deal with missing data. In this work we propose a quadrature filter that allows a reliable dynamic phase measurement for every sample, even in the cases involving few samples or missing data. The method is based on the use of a regularized least squares cost function that enforces the...
