We propose a multiscale extension of a well-known line segment detector, LSD. We show that its multiscale nature makes it much less susceptible to over-segmentation and more robust to low contrast and less sensitive to noise, while keeping the parameter-less advantage of LSD and still being fast. We also present here a dense gradient filter that disregards regions in which lines are likely to b...

In thispapel; the reduction of inherent ambiguities in Structure from Motion (SW) using inertial data is addressed. First, we show that the translation-rotation ambiguity in S'from a noisy $ow field computed from two frames can be completely eliminated by using noise free inertial rate data. Secondly, we show that the admissible solution space for SfM from noisy feature correspondences can be r...

In this paper we present an algorithm for automatic extraction and tracking of multiple objects from a video sequence. Our approach is model-based in the sense that we first use a robust structure-from-motion algorithm to identify multiple objects and to recover initial 3-D shape models. Then, these models are used to identify and track the objects over multiple frames of the video sequence. Th...

In a recent, discussion of approach-avoidance conflict theory, Miller (1959) assumed that the strength or excitatory potential of the approach response should vary with factors which have been found to affect performance in nonconflict situations, namely: (1) the number of reinforced trials, (2) the strength of drive motivating the approach response, (3) the delay of reward, and (4) the amount ...

"The authors show how data from the 2% Sample of Anonymised Records (SAR) can be combined with data from the Small Area Statistics (SAS) database to investigate the causes of the ecological fallacy in an Enumeration District (ED) level analysis. A range of census variables are examined in three ¿SAR districts'...in England. Results of comparable analyses from the 1986 Australian census are also...

Compared to most states, coastal water quality in North Carolina is relatively high, ranking fourth in the nation according to the 2012 National Resource Defense Council’s Testing the Waters report (NRDC, 2012). But as population and tourism continue to increase near our beaches, new development and increased imperviousness generate more stormwater runoff. Houses, hotels, and parking lots are t...

Each of eight rats was located in the experimental chamber mounted with two levers. Lever-pressing to either of the two was maintained by a schedule of food. After that, a punishment schedule of electric shocks was added. Neither the reinforcement nor the punishment schedule was programmed on the other lever, i.e. the non-reinforced alternative. The effect of reinforcement, and the joint effect...
