The A* algorithm is the de facto standard used for pathfinding search. IDA* is a space-efficient version of A*, but it suffers from cycles in the search space (the price for using no storage), repeated visits to states (the overhead of iterative deepening), and a simplistic leftto-right traversal of the search tree. In this paper, the Fringe Search algorithm is introduced, a new algorithm inspi...

Transverse chromatic aberration (TCA) smears retinal images of peripheral stimuli. In reading, text information is extracted from both foveal and near fovea, where TCA magnitude is relatively small and variable. The present study investigated whether TCA significantly affects near foveal letter identification. Subjects were briefly presented a string of five letters centered one degree of visua...

In optical phase shift profilometry (PSP), parallel fringe patterns are projected onto an object and the deformed fringes are captured using a digital camera. It is of particular interest in real time three-dimensional (3D) modeling applications because it enables 3D reconstruction using just a few image captures. When using this approach in a real life environment, however, the noise in the ca...

A VISAR (Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector) is a Doppler velocity interferometer which is an important optical diagnostic in shockwave experiments at the national laboratories, used to measure equation of state (EOS) of materials under extreme conditions. Unwanted reflection of laser light from target windows can produce an additional component to the VISAR fringe record that can...

Kerr electro-optic fringe patterns have long been used to study space charge injection and transport phenomena in highly birefringent materials such as nitrobenzene. Most past experimental work has been limited to 1 or 2-dimensional geometries where the electric field magnitude and direction have been constant along the light path such as two concentric or parallel cylinders or parallel plate e...

Subject terms: electro-holography, holographic computation, holographic bandwidth compression, diffractionspecific, fringelet, hogel vector Abstract. A novel electro-holographic bandwidth compression technique, fringelet bandwidth compression, is described and implemented. This technique uses spatial subsampling to reduce the bandwidth and complexity of holographic fringe computation for real-t...

Many studies have investigated the effects of transit-oriented development (TOD) on density, design, diversity development, and transit ridership. However, fewer address issue carrying capacity TOD. This paper aims to assess TOD areas' using four criteria (land capability, water availability, socio-economic, green infrastructure) 14 indicators Jakarta's two areas. These results show that even t...

Electronic heterodyne moire deflectometry and electronic heterodyne holographic interferometry are compared as methods for the accurate measurement of refractive index and density change distributions of phase object p . Experimental results are presented to show that the two methods have comparable accuracy for measuring the first derivative of the intE-ferometric fringe shift. The phase objec...

The regularized phase tracker (RPT) is one of the most powerful approaches for demodulation of a single fringe pattern. However, two disadvantages limit the applications of the RPT in practice. One is the necessity of a normalized fringe pattern as input and the other is the sensitivity to critical points. To overcome these two disadvantages, a generalized regularized phase tracker (GRPT) is pr...

The binary search tree or Quicksort is the most used of all sorting algorithm, since it is both fast and simple. The random recursive tree is another extensively studied random tree. We have examined fringe trees in these two types of random trees, since the study of such subtrees appears to be an effective approach towards defining characteristics also of the whole tree. By using a representat...
