Abstract The impact of the electrode proximity on streamer breakdown and development pulsed-driven dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) in a single-filament arrangement has been investigated gas mixture 0.1 vol% O 2 N at 0.6 bar 1.0 bar. gap distance was varied from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, applied voltage adapted correspondingly create comparable conditions gap. DBDs recorded by an iCCD streak camera...

This paper describes a neural model developed for computing heading from optic flow caused by 3D translational egomotion. The model uses the distributed representation of optic flow directions in cortical areas MT and MSTd. Model MSTd cells are selective for specific directions of visual motion and have large receptive fields covering approximately a quarter of the visual field at different ret...

Reconstructing the scene from image sequences captured by moving cameras with varying intrinsic parameters is one of the major achievements of computer vision research in recent years. However, there remain gaps in the knowledge of what is reliably recoverable when the camera motion is constrained to move in particular ways. This paper considers the special case of multiple cameras whose optic ...

Insect wings demonstrate elaborate three-dimensional deformations and kinematics. These deformations are key to understanding many aspects of insect flight including aerodynamics, structural dynamics and control. In this paper, we propose a template-based subdivision surface reconstruction method that is capable of reconstructing the wing deformations and kinematics of free-flying insects based...

Movement analysis is the method which common in use recently to evaluate the motion object. In this study, laser light which was controlled by subject from the model pursued the chaotic motion target which was projected from the PC to the screen. Both data of two moving object velocity and distance of laser light were examined in spite of time response also taken into account. Six models of cam...

We propose a method for removing marked dynamic objects from videos captured with a free-moving camera, so long as the objects occlude parts of the scene with a static background. Our approach takes as input a video, a mask marking the object to be removed, and a mask marking the dynamic objects to remain in the scene. To inpaint a frame, we align other candidate frames in which parts of the mi...

A banking model is constructed where roles for government-provided deposit insurance and discount window lending arise when there are restrictions on branch banking. Banks arise endogenously as an efficient arrangement for sharing risk. Discount window lending permits better risk sharing by making bank assets more liquid, but is limited because of a moral hazard problem which arises from advers...

We explore a cost-effective approach to creating environment maps. Unlike other environment map generating systems that use specially designed mirrors or sensing devices, our system uses off-the-shelf digital cameras. This makes our system potentially acquirable by average consumers. In our design, the two digital cameras are displaced vertically with parallel optical axes, and the rotation axi...

We consider the problem of finding the localization of radioactive source by using data from a digital camera. In other words, the camera could help us to detect the direction of radioactive rays radiation. Therefore, the outcome could be used to command a robot to move toward the true direction to achieve the source. The process of camera data is performed by using image processing and computa...
