DLP (Digital Light Processing) is about to invade stereo applications, one of the last bastions of CRT projection technology. This paper presents various methods for achieving stereo and their application to DLP projectors. The newly developed sequential stereo capable projectors are also introduced and their performance characteris tics discussed along with artifacts. Also presented are ways t...

Data hiding is an efficient technique that conceals secret data into a digital medium. In 2006, Zhang and Wang proposed a data hiding scheme called exploiting modification direction (EMD) which has become a milestone in the field of data hiding. In recent years, many EMD-type data hiding schemes have been developed, but their embedding capacity remains restricted. In this paper, a novel data hi...

Given a general critical or sub-critical branching mechanism, we define a pruning procedure of the associated Lévy continuum random tree. This pruning procedure is defined by adding some marks on the tree, using Lévy snake techniques. We then prove that the resulting sub-tree after pruning is still a Lévy continuum random tree. This last result is proved using the exploration process that codes...

Creative reasoning in ill-defined problem spaces operates differently from classical reasoning in well-defined spaces. To systematically compare the two in an identical knowledge domain, we applied a classical intelligence test: the Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM), in combination with two tests of creativity: the Test for Creative Thinking Drawing Production (TCT-DP) and the newly developed...

Generation and features of the radio frequency (RF) hollow cathode discharge (HCD) are compared for the atmospheric and moderate pressures. The atmospheric-pressure plasma systems, fused hollow cathode (FHC) and hybrid hollow electrode-activated discharge (H-HEAD), are described. Examples of applications where both FHC and H-HEAD have already been employed are given, and potentials for new proc...

There is debate over the mechanisms that govern the orienting of attention. Some argue that the enhanced performance observed at a cued location is the result of increased perceptual sensitivity or preferential access to decision-making processes. It has also been suggested that these effects may be the result of trades in speed for accuracy on the part of the observers. In the present study, o...

This paper compares microwave brightness temperature (TB) estimated by two radiobrightness models--a multi-layer coherent radiative transfer (CRT) model and a single-layer Fresnel reflectance model. Two dielectric mixing schemes were used along with the models to calculate permittivity (real part of the dielectric constant). Model TB and permittivity estimates were intercompared and validated a...

Current consumer-level priced and state-of-the-art scanrate converters enable a spatio-temporal decoupling of the received video and the displayed video. This paper presents the results of a subjective assessment indicating the preferred CRT-display format.

PURPOSE: Patient-specific heart and valve models have shown promise as training and planning tools for heart surgery, but physically realistic valve models remain elusive. Available proprietary, simulation-focused heart valve models are generic adult mitral valves and do not allow for patient-specific modeling as may be needed for rare diseases such as congenitally abnormal valves. We propose c...

We present a method for decoding image semantics using composite region templates (CRTs). The CRTs de ne prototypal spatial arrangements of regions and features in the images. The system classi es unknown images by matching the strings of regions extracted from the images to the templates in a CRT library. We describe the process for generating the CRTs from photographic images by automatically...
