Deformed cross-dissolves are methods for inconspicuous interpolation between images. We describe algorithms for deformation based on scattered data interpolation methods and an improved cross-dissolve algorithm ooering better performance than a normal bidirectional cross-dissolve. Results for interpolation in the eld of medical visualization are presented.

In the possible scaling region for lattice chiral fermions advocated in Nucl. Phys. B486 (1997) 282, no hard spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs and doublers are gauge-invariantly decoupled via mixing with composite three-fermion-states. However the strong coupling expansion breaks down due to no “static limit” for the low-energy limit (p ∼ 0). We further analyze relevant Green functions of th...

Automatic identification of special effects is a prerequisite for video indexing and intelligent video encoding. In this paper we present an algorithm for fade and dissolve scene change detection in video sequences. We use statistical features of the images to identify these special effects in uncompressed video. DC-estimation [4] is used to evaluate statistical features both in H.263 [lo] and ...
