One of the important image and video registration goals is the accurate motion and structure estimation. On the other hand, a good motion estimation is also an important requirement for most mosaicing and novel view generation techniques. While it has been well known for a while that narrow field-of-view cameras have a hard time distinguishing between certain kinds of rotations and translations...

Multiple cameras are needed to completely cover an environment for monitoring activity. To track people successfully in multiple perspective imagery, one needs to establish correspondence between objects captured in multiple cameras. We present a system for tracking people in multiple uncalibrated cameras. The system is able to discover spatial relationships between the camera field of views an...

In this paper, we address the issue of tracking moving objects in an environment covered by multiple uncalibrated cameras with overlapping fields of view, typical of most surveillance setups. In such a scenario, it is essential to establish correspondence between tracks of the same object, seen in different cameras, to recover complete information about the object. We call this the problem of c...

User focused pedestrian facility planning requires an understanding of pedestrian behavior and needs. Analysis presented here has considered user attributes primarily from the point of view of stage of life of the person. User needs have been measured through responses to ten opinion statements. The primary field survey was conducted in Japan, in five cities of different sizes. A secondary surv...

The difficulties people frequently have navigating in virtual environments (VEs) are well known. Usually these difficulties are quantified in terms of performance (e.g., time taken or number of errors made in following a path), with these data used to compare navigation in VEs to equivalent real-world settings. However, an important cause of any performance differences is changes in people’s na...

A new configuration of non-abelian D1-branes growing into D5-branes is found. This time the effect is triggered by a non-trivial electric field on the world-volume of the D1-branes, and a constant RR 4-form potential. Based on the these configurations and other observations regarding non-abilean effective actions, a new action for matrix string theory in non-trivial backgrounds is conjectured. ...

Multiple cameras are needed to cover large environments for monitoring activity. To track people successfully in multiple perspective imagery, one needs to establish correspondence between objects captured in multiple cameras. We present a system for tracking people in multiple uncalibrated cameras. The system is able to discover spatial relationships between the camera fields of view and use t...

Literature on project success mainly focused on identifying and analyzing success criteria and critical success factors. Success criteria are used for evaluating the success of a project and critical success factors are those factors which in‐ crease the potential for achieving project success. However, the interrelationships among them were rarely analyzed, although researchers highlighted the...
