For real-time disparity estimation from stereo images the coordinates of feature points are evaluated. This paper analyses the influence of camera noise on the accuracy of feature point coordinates of a feature point detector similar to the Harris Detector, modified for disparity estimation. As a result the error variance of the horizontal coordinate of each feature point and the variance of ea...

Introduction: Wedge filters are used in radiotherapy to modify photon beam and improve dose uniformity in the target volume. Determination of wedge dose distribution is important to improve treatment planning accuracy. The utilization of treatment planning software to obtain dose distribution is not always available. In this work an analytical model has been developed to calcu...

The contribution presents to analyses and comparison of the recursive (sliding window) Bayesian autoregressive normalized change-point detector (RBACDN) and the reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo method (RJMCMC) when they are used for the localization of signal changes (change-point detection). The choice of priors and parameter setting for the RJMCMC and the RBACDN are discussed. The eva...

The task of setting up correspondences between 3D shapes is a prerequisite for numerous computer graphics applications, which has been performed manually up to now. We present an automatic method for characterizing 3D shape subparts and establishing correspondences between them. The corner stones of our algorithm are: (i) finding stable salient points that are representative for certain parts o...

We introduce a model detector which registers the passage of a particle through the detector location, without substantially perturbing the particle wave function. (The exact time of passage is not determined in such measurements.) We then show that our detector can operate in a classically forbidden region and register particles passing through a certain point under a potential barrier. We sho...

The silicon pixel detector is the innermost component of the CMS tracking system. It provides precise measurements of space points to allow effective pattern recognition in multiple track environments near the LHC interaction point. The end disks of the pixel detector, known as the Forward Pixel detector, are constructed mainly by the US-CMS collaborators. The design techniques, readout electro...

We show that long standing debates on the collapse and the role of the observer in quantum mechanics can be resolved experimentally via a nondistruc-tive continuous monitoring of a single quantum system. An example of such a system, coupled with the point-contact detector is presented. The detailed quantum mechanical analysis of the entire system (including the detector) shows that under certai...

In this report we discuss the capabilities and limitations of the STAR detector to search for signatures of the QCD critical point in a low energy scan at RHIC. We find that a RHIC low energy scan will cover a broad region of interest in the nuclear matter phase diagram and that the STAR detector — a detector designed to measure the quantities that will be of interest in this search — will prov...

A highly practical and efficient preparation of 3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one derivatives was developed via an efficient and simple nanocatalyst and promoted multi-component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, aromatic aldehyde, and urea in the presence of a catalytic amount of (CTA)3[SiW12]-Li+-MMT under solvent-free conditions. In comparison to the conve...
