In the present paper, we define a new representation for Voigt function involving the product of generalized Bessel function and Whittaker function. We first obtain its explicit representation and then we derive partly bilateral and partly unilateral representations for this function. Further, we establish some new and interesting generating functions involving various hypergeometric functions ...

This study examined decision frame (“gain” vs. “loss”) and negotiator affect (positive vs. control) in a simulated bilateral negotiation where negotiators dealt with a programmed opponent and made offers and counteroffers on three issues that differed in value. Direct comparisons between the gain and loss frame conditions, in the control-affect condition, revealed a replication of the standard ...

This paper focuses on the mechanism design of a novel compact dexterous hand of 3 fingers, 9 joints and 7 DOF (degrees of freedom). The technology of single-motor actuation is used and a kind of compact bilateral clutch is designed to reduce the size of actuation and control part of the hand. Different from most dexterous hand designs, no lengthy tendons are needed in this design since the actu...

This paper presents a quantitative comparison framework for bilateral teleoperation systems which have different dynamic characteristics and sensory configurations for a given Task Dependant Performance Objective. μ-synthesis is used to develop the framework since it can efficiently treat systems containing uncertainties and disturbances. The framework consists of i) a feasibility test, and ii)...

This paper presents a novel approach for stability and transparency analysis for bilateral teleoperation in the presence of data loss in communication media. A new model for data loss is proposed based on a set of periodic continuous pulses and its finite series representation. The passivity of the overall system is shown using wave variable approach including the newly defined model for data l...

Bilateral filtering is widely used to enhance photographic images, but in most implementations is poorly suited to seismic images. A bilateral filter consists of two (domain and range) filter kernels. By replacing the domain kernel with a smoothing filter that conforms to image structures, we obtain a bilateral filter suitable for seismic image processing. Examples and comparison with conventio...

We describe a supervised learning procedure for estimating the relation between a set of local image features and the local optimal parameters of an adaptive bilateral filter. A set of two entropy-based features is used to represent the properties of the image at a local scale. Experimental results show that our entropy-based adaptive bilateral filter outperforms other extensions of the bilater...

The bilateral filter [1, 2] has an important place in image denoising. It smooths images while preserving edges using means of nonlinear combination of local pixels values. The method formulation and implementation are simple. However the set of the bilateral filter parameters has an important influence on its filtering behavior. They have to be chosen considering the user application. In the c...

This paper compares the standard Bilateral Filter and its variants such as Modified Bilateral Filter(MBF), Joint Bilateral Filter(JBF), Fuzzy Bilateral Filter(FBF) and Switching Bilateral Filter(SBF). For comparison purpose various performance matrices such as: Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR), Mean Square Error(MSE), Mean Absolute Error(MAE), Normalized Color Difference(NCD), Perceptual Qualit...
