A new technique of interpolating spatial and temporal data using methods of two-channel encoding is discussed. This work is based on the assumption that for many applications it is possible to obtain two channels of data: one with high temporal resolution but low spatial resolution, and the other with low temporal resolution but high spatial resolution. Techniques for combining these two channe...

This study used peripheral precueing to explore the effect of covert transient attention on performance in spatial resolution tasks. Experiments 1 (Landolt-square) and 2 ('broken-line') measured gap resolution and Experiment 3 measured vernier resolution. In all three tasks the target was presented alone in a large number of possible locations, ranging from 1.5-6 degrees of eccentricity in the ...

It has been shown that transient attention enhances spatial resolution, but is the effect of transient attention on spatial resolution modulated by the size of the attentional cue? Would a gradual increase in the size of the cue lead to a gradual decrement in spatial resolution? To test these hypotheses, we used a texture segmentation task in which performance depends on spatial resolution, and...

The paper presents an Adaptive Lattice Model (ALM) based on spatial constraints or resolution such as minimum object size and minimum spatial interval. An ALM represents GIS data by latticing adaptively the spatial space at a certain abstraction level or spatial resolution and omitting all details smaller or finer than the resolution. One implementation of ALM is called CELL, which considers ea...

We investigated two types of spatial resolution for perceiving motion-defined contours: grating acuity, the capacity to discriminate alternating stripes of opposed motion from transparent bi-directional motion; and alignment acuity, the capacity to localize the position of motion-defined edges with respect to stationary markers. For both tasks the stimuli were random noise patterns, low-pass fi...

As either the spatial resolution or the spatial scale for a geographic landscape increases, both latent spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity also will tend to increase. In addition, the amount of georeferenced data that results becomes massively large. These features of high spatial resolution hyperspectral data present several impediments to conducting a spatial statistical analysis of...

cardiovascular disease remains the principal cause of death in the modernized world.   several novel noninvasive imaging techniques have been recently developed to improve diagnosis of cardiac and coronary disease.   of these advances, multidetector computed tomographic (mdct) angiography has evolved most dramatically to transform computed tomography from a single-slice trans-axial modality to ...
