Often implicit in visual display design and development is a gold standard of photorealism. By approximating direct perception, photorealism appeals to users and designers by being both attractive and apparently effortless. The vexing result from numerous performance evaluations, though, is that increasing realism often impairs performance. Smallman and St. John (2005) labeled misplaced faith i...

November 20 07 T he next time you buy a cell phone, take a close look at the display panel. If things go the way Qualcomm hopes, that colorful little rectangle could give a whole new meaning to the expression “butterfly effect.” True, the interferometric modulator (IMOD) displays recently introduced by the San Diego– based firm have nothing to do with the unexpectedly strong effect a wing beat ...

Modern video displays provide improved performance compared to, now obsolete, cathode ray tube (CRT) displays. In particular they are now starting to provide brighter images and deeper blacks. In other words they are starting to provide significantly higher dynamic range than CRT displays. A television system that can take advantage of this would be able to offer improved pictures that are more...

The quality video open course displays the advanced teaching idea, unique method and rich achievements of outstanding expert teachers in our country. research uses Flanders interactive analysis system Nvivo software, takes classroom pre-service as object, analyzes studies teacher-student interaction behavior, question design, emotions, to explore gap Classroom Teaching between teacher preservic...

In this paper, we propose a new full-fuzzy video ratecontrol algorithm (RCA) for variable bit rate (VBR) videoapplications. The proposed RCA provides high qualitycompressed video with a low degree computational complexity.By controlling the quantization parameter (QP) on a picturebasis, it produces VBR video bit streams. The proposed RCAhas been implemented on the JM H.264/AVC video codec andth...

Voters evaluate politicians not just by what they say, but also how say it, via facial displays of emotions and vocal pitch. Candidate characteristics can shape leaders use—and voters react to—nonverbal cues. Drawing on role congruity expectations, we study the use reactions to facial, vocal, textual communication in political debates varies candidate gender. Relying full-length videos four Ger...

The January 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas allowed users to try out the Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses, available for Android 4.0 beginning this summer for less than $500 (iOS fall 2013 availability pending platform approval). This is a wearable Bluetooth/Wi-Fi headpiece that can be worn with regular eyeglasses. It features a built-in high-definition (HD) camera and 428 · 240 pixel Wide ...

This chapter describes tools for browsing and searching through video to enable users to quickly locate video passages of interest. Digital video databases containing large numbers of video programs ranging from several minutes to several hours in length are becoming increasingly common. In many cases, it is not sufficient to search for relevant videos, but rather to identify relevant clips, ty...

Because of its parasitic habits, reproduction costs the common cuckoo ( Cuculus canorus ) are mostly spent in pre-laying activities. Female limited to searching host nests and laying eggs, whereas, males spend time performing intense vocal displays, possibly with territorial purpose. This last aspect, together a sexual plumage dimorphism, points both intra- inter-sexual selections operating wit...

High-speed serialized data connection has been widely used in video displays, digital camera sensing, and backplane data transmission in networks, servers, and 3G base stations. Maxim developed products for serial link transmitters and receivers. This application note demonstrates the performance of a typical serializer and deserializer (SerDes) pair (the MAX9247 and MAX9218) under various cabl...
