The objective of this study was to examine main and interactive effects of nutrient density (ND), feed form (FF; mash, pellet), and lighting program (12L:12D, 20L:4D) on production characteristics and meat yield of broilers raised to 35 d of age. Diets (starter, grower, and finisher) were formulated so that amino acid levels were in proportion to the dietary energy level. Lighting programs were...

We report on two generations of CMOS image sensors with digital output fabricated in a 0.6 μm CMOS process. The imagers embed an ALOHA MAC interface for unfettered self-timed pixel read-out targeted to energyaware sensor network applications. Collision on the output is monitored using contention detector circuits. The image sensors present very high dynamic range and ultra-low power operation. ...

The rendering software supports direct point lighting and also environment lighting. We approximate environment lighting based on captured lighting environments. We use an image-based environment illumination technique to light the face with a specified environment map. An example is shown in Figure 1.The environment map is prefiltered with several blur kernels, for diffuse integration, glossy ...

This article focuses on road lighting measurements and calculations. Road lighting measurements are made to study the definition of appropriate road surface luminance levels during different weather conditions. Measurements took place in five pilot locations where the effects of snow, rain and fog on road luminances were examined. Through the measurement results, the effects of weather on road ...

This paper presents a design for intelligent control system of scene adaptive semiconductor lighting. The new design contains the host computer and the terminal in a control network. The lighting effect patterns are edited by the software on the host computer, then the lighting scene data is transported to the terminal through network. The terminal is a sub-controller based on the embedded syst...

All images are highly ambiguous, and to perceive 3-D scenes, the human visual system relies on assumptions about what lighting conditions are most probable. Here we show that human observers' assumptions about lighting diffuseness are well matched to the diffuseness of lighting in real-world scenes. We use a novel multidirectional photometer to measure lighting in hundreds of environments, and ...

This work presents a probabilistic lighting model for rendering of thin fur of mammals under environmental influence, particularly water. We have extended the technique known as Fakefur by adding a method for capturing the key characteristics of fur influenced by water. The system described in this work has a lower computational cost than typical resolvable fur methods, due not only to its prob...
