Collerton et al.’s Perception and Attention Deficit (PAD) model argues that all recurrent complex visual hallucinations (RCVH) result from maladaptive, deficient sensory and attentional processing. We outline a constructivist-based representation of perception using signal detection theory, in which hallucinations are modeled as false alarms when confirmational perceptual information is lacking...

This report accompanies the MaxD target detection algorithm implemented in the ENVI environment. The intent of the report is to describe the results obtained by using a provided AVIRIS test data set. Topics addressed include basic results on implementing the test data, how the test data set was processed and calibrated, and how the sensor response was applied. A brief analysis of results beyond...

Virtual reality (VR) represents a modern human-computer interface consisting of a three-dimensional (3D) environment generated by computer where the user can interact in different ways. VR can be applied in several applications domains such as medicine, education, entertainment, etc. In particular, interest is drawn to the application of VR in education since a student is able to interact and t...

In the contemporary urban planning, outdoor comfort is more and relevant. As a matter of fact, in some Nations microclimate design, so, among others, quantification already compulsory, while many others it recommended. Various methods to quantify can be adopted (e.g., PMV-Predicted Mean Vote, or PET-Physiological Equivalent Temperature), but every formulation wind velocity, otherwise referred a...

Courtyards are a passive strategy to improve the energy performance of buildings. However, accurate simulation courtyards’ thermodynamic in early design stage is still challenging, even though there has been an emergence new methods assess outdoor simulation. This paper tests novel workflow using Ladybug Tools that uses CFD for temperature and comfort courtyards suitable building design, compar...

Physiological equivalent temperature (PET) is one of most used indices for outdoor human well-being evaluation; its determination particularly helpful adaptation strategies in built-up areas affected by the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. In this work, we presented a methodology to compute spatially and temporally resolved PET values during heatwave at city level, based on combination satel...

This is the book that will make your day reading becomes completed. When you are looking for the printed book of this PDF in the book store, you may not find it. The problems can be the limited editions that are given in t...

Camera networks are widely used for tasks suchas surveillance, monitoring and tracking. In or-der to accomplish these tasks, knowledge of lo-calization information such as camera locationsand other geometric constraints about the envi-ronment (e.g. walls, rooms, and building layout)are typically considered to be essential. How-ever, this information is not always req...
