The maintenance of large raster images, such as satellite pictures in geographic information systems, is still a major performance bottleneck. For reasons of storage space, images in a collection are maintained in compressed form. An operation on an image can be performed by rst decompressing the compressed version. This, however, can be a major source of ineeciency, because the entire image ne...

The Savannah River Site (SRS) made significant contributions to NASA space missions via the heat source programs that provide electrical power to satellites traveling outside of earth orbit. Electrical power was supplied by converting heat from the radioactive decay of plutonium-238. The Site produced the Pu-238 in its reactors, separated the plutonium in the canyon facilities, and, for the Mul...

Satellite images are more and more numerous and with increasing resolution. Hence it is urgent to develop tools able to (semi-) automatically process such images in order to efficiently exploit them. When searching satellite images by visual content, in most of the cases the query image resides in the mind of the user as a set of subjective visual patterns, psychological impressions or “mental ...

Spontaneous facial expressions were found to provide accurate information about more specific aspects of emotional experience than just the pleasant versus unpleasant distinction. Videotape records were gathered while subjects viewed motion picture films and then reported on their subjective experience. A new technique for measuring facial movement isolated a particular type of smile that was r...

The 1997 motion picture “Gattaca,” written and directed by Andrew Niccoll, is a futuristic film set in a time when society analyzes your DNA and determines where you belong in life. Ethan Hawke's character was born with a congenital heart condition, so, in turn, he assumes the identity of an athlete who has genes that would allow Hawke’s character to achieve his dream of space travel. Samples o...

Cinema viewed from a location other than a canonical viewing point (CVP) presents distortions to the viewer in both its static and its dynamic aspects. Past works have investigated mainly the static aspect of this problem and attempted to explain why viewers still seem to perceive the scene very well. The dynamic aspect of depth perception, which is known as structure from motion, and its possi...

To represent an approach in video and audio configuration. Two modalities were used i.e., visual and audio tracks. From audio track, rhythms of music were described by segmentation and detection of music beats. From visual track, dancer’s features and trajectories were extracted to estimate rhythm of motion. Then configuration of visual and audio extractions were performed with two more applica...
