Camera synchronisation involves the temporal alignment of a set of video sequences, independently acquired by two or more cameras. Accurate synchronisation is crucial for a wide variety of applications requiring multi-camera setups, ranging from 3D modelling of dynamic scenes (e.g., featuring a performance, or a sports event) to video surveillance and superresolution. Conventional synchronisati...

In multihop ad hoc networks that use conventional IEEE 802.11, long transient resynchronisation states are often generated when multiple IBSSs merge. A simple modification of the conventional timing synchronisation method is proposed to reduce such synchronisation bottlenecks. When the proposed modification is applied, a self-adaptive synchronisation ability is observed in simulations, which ma...

Condensed Graphs provide a graph based programming model that unifies availability-driven, coerciondriven and control-driven computing. In this paper we explore the issues of concurrency and synchronisation between condensed graph applications. A paradigm for condensed graph synchronisation is proposed and an architectural pattern is developed that forms the basis of a novel synchronisation mec...

It is argued that binding needs to be task dependent, and cannot usefully be driven by properties of the stimulus alone. However, task dependent binding can only take place after the patterns in a stimulus have been identified. Thus pattern recognition needs to be done prior to binding. Synchronisation may be a consequence of pattern recognition and can be used to localise the pattern and tag i...

Many interesting issues are posed by synchronisation of cycles. In this paper we define synchronisation and show how the degree of synchronisation can be measured. We propose tests of the hypotheses that cycles are either unsynchronised or perfectly synchronized. Unlike previous tests of synchronization in the literature our procedures are robust to heteroscedasticity and serial correlation in ...

The conventional nature of synchronisation is discussed in inertial frames, where it is found that theories using diierent synchronisations are experimentally equivalent to special relativ-ity. In contrary, in accelerated systems only a theory maintaining an absolute simultaneity is consistent with the natural behaviour of clocks. The principle of equivalence is discussed, and it is found that ...

We have studied neuronal synchronisation in a random network of adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire neurons. We study how spiking or bursting synchronous behaviour appears as a function of the coupling strength and the probability of connections, by constructing parameter spaces that identify these synchronous behaviours from measurements of the inter-spike interval and the calculation of t...
