Recently, we showed that contrast sensitivity for color and high-spatial frequency luminance stimuli is enhanced during smooth pursuit eye movements (Schütz et al., 2008). In this study, we investigated the enhancement over a wide range of temporal and spatial frequencies. In Experiment 1, we measured the temporal impulse response function (TIRF) for colored stimuli. The TIRF for pursuit and fi...

The causal impulse response of the velocity potential for the Stokes wave equation is derived for calculations of transient velocity potential fields generated by circular pistons in viscous media. The causal Green's function is numerically verified using the material impulse response function approach. The causal, lossy impulse response for a baffled circular piston is then calculated within t...

Image processing is methodology to convert an image into digital form. The digital form of data is less complex and easy to interpolate and give an enhanced image or to extract some useful information from it. By this Images are often corrupted by impulse noise during acquisition and transmission. These noises affect the information which is present in the images. There are several algorithms t...

Impulse noise is corrupted in the field of DIP applications of transmission and reception due to unwanted disturbance. So, the original image will corrupted at the acquiring end. The various denoising filter algorithm of impulse noise reduction in this survey were studied. So the impulse noise detection and removal technique, they have several drawbacks also discussed for various image with var...

A novel approach to impulse noise reduction in color image is introduced in this paper. By applying the quaternion unit transform theory, the difference between two color pixels can be represented in the quaternion form. Based on the difference mentioned above, an efficient filter that can switch between the vector median filter (VMF) and the identity filter (no filtering operation) is proposed...

Dark-adapted rods suppress cone-mediated flicker detection. This study evaluates the effect that rod activity has on cone temporal processing by investigating whether rod mediated suppression changes the cone pathway impulse response function, regardless of the form of the temporal signal. Stimuli were generated with a 2-channel photostimulator that has four primaries for the central field and ...

The Sound Reduction Index of a partition can be measured according to the method described by ISO 140. This paper reports experimental results obtained with a new measurement method based on the determination of the impulse response in two rooms separated by the partition. In fact, it is possible to show that, by evaluating the Schroeder integral plot, we can calculate energy levels and reverbe...

The images are affected by random valued impulse noises during the image capturing and processing stages. In this study, an efficient, high performance and low hardware utilized impulse noise reduction algorithm is presented. This methodology determines the optimum direction pixels through the estimation of standard deviation. The edges in the images are preserved during the process of impulse ...
