Saccadic eye movements are an integral part of many visually guided behaviors. Recent research in humans has shown that processes which control saccades are also involved in establishing perceptual space: A shift in object localization during fixation occurred after saccade amplitudes had been shortened or lengthened by saccadic adaptation. We tested whether similar effects can be established i...

For realizing autonomous vehicle driving and advanced safety systems, it is necessary to achieve accurate vehicle localization in cities. This paper proposes a method of accurately estimating vehicle position by matching a map and line segment features detected from images captured by a camera. Features such as white road lines, yellow road lines, road signs, and curb stones, which could be use...

We recently identified a novel retinoid binding protein, Papilio RBP, in the soluble fraction of the eye homogenate of the butterfly Papilio xuthus, and demonstrated that the protein is involved in the visual cycle. We now have localized the protein in the Papilio eye by light and electron microscopic immunohistochemistry using a monospecific antiserum produced against artificially expressed Pa...

Locating known objects is an important task for robots. When a robot has a single camera located in its arm, the robot can use it to get pictures from multiple points of view. These pictures can be used for locating in 3D a desired object, when the object is found on the floor within a bounded distance from the robot. Here we propose a technique for planning a sequence of arm positions to be us...

The localization of spatially extended objects is thought to be based on the computation of a default reference position, such as the center of gravity. This position can serve as the goal point for a saccade, a locus for fixation, or the reference for perceptual localization. We compared perceptual and saccadic localization for non-convex shapes where the center of gravity (COG) was located ou...

PURPOSE High levels of metabolism and oxygen consumption in most adult murine ocular compartments, combined with exposure to light and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, are major sources of oxidative stress, causing DNA damage in ocular cells. Of all mammalian body cells, photoreceptor cells consume the largest amount of oxygen and generate the highest levels of oxidative damage. The accumulation of ...

The Security has become a main problem of concern among the people. Biometrics is robotic method of identifying a person based on physiological or behavioural uniqueness. Threat starts while an useless person tries to obtain access. A person verification system localize facial landmarks and extracts biometrical features for face authentication. This includes image acquirement, segmentation, nor...

Using an in vitro autoradiography, beta-adrenergic receptors were localized in the rabbit eye. Autoradiograms were generated by apposition of isotope-sensitive film to slide-mounted eye sections, labelled with [125I](-)Iodocyanopindolol. A high density of silver grains was obtained in conjunctival, corneal and ciliary process epithelium. Binding sites were also present in corneal endothelium, i...

PURPOSE To investigate the accuracy of spatial localization in children with a specific type of convergent strabismus, fully accommodative esotropia. METHODS Two groups of children, with right and left fully accommodative esotropia, respectively, pointed at targets located centrally and eccentrically on a computer touchscreen without being able to see their hands. The size and the direction o...
