The results of 6 experiments indicate that emotional intensity reduces perceived psychological distance. People who described events emotionally rather than neutrally perceived those events as less psychologically distant, including embarrassing autobiographical events (Experiment 1), past and future dentist visits (Experiment 2), positive and negative events (Experiment 3), and a national trag...

We report on a self-adaptive waveform centroid algorithm that combines the selection of double-scale data and intensity-weighted (DSIW) method for accurate LiDAR distance–intensity imaging. A time window is set to adaptively select effective data. At same time, can reduce influence sharp noise calculation. The horizontal vertical coordinates point obtained by proposed are utilized record distan...

The aim of this study was to quantify the motion demands of match-play in elite U12 to U16 age-group soccer players. Altogether, 112 players from two professional soccer clubs at five age-group levels (U12-U16) were monitored during competitive matches (n = 14) using a 5 Hz non-differential global positioning system (NdGPS). Velocity thresholds were normalized for each age-group using the mean ...

We have developed a method for quantifying neural response changes in terms of the Kullback-Leibler distance between the intensity functions for each stimulus condition. We use empirical histogram estimates to characterize the intensity function of the neural response. A critical factor in determining the histogram estimates is selection of binwidth. In this work we analytically derive the Kull...

There is limited information regarding the validity and reliability of global positioning system (GPS) devices for measuring movement during team sports. The aim of this study was to assess the validity and intra-model reliability of different GPS devices for quantifying high-intensity, intermittent exercise performance. Two moderately trained males each completed eight bouts of a standard circ...

Text extraction is important step that strongly influences on the final recognition performance. This task is especially challenging in case of scene text which is characterized with wide set of degradations like complex backgrounds, uneven illumination, viewing angle, etc. In this paper we evaluated text extraction based on K-means clustering in HSI color space with chromatic distance and inte...
