This paper presents a new profile shape matching stereovision algorithm that is designed to extract 3D information in real time. This algorithm obtains 3D information by matching profile intensity shapes of each corresponding row of the stereo image pair. It detects the corresponding matching patterns of the intensity profile rather than the intensity values of individual pixels or pixels in a ...

A laser beam can be characterized by measuring its spatial intensity profile at points perpendicular to its direction of propagation. The spatial intensity profile is the variation of intensity as a function of distance from the center of the beam, in a plane perpendicular to its direction of propagation. It is often convenient to think of a light wave as being an infinite plane electromagnetic...

A novel edge operator is introduced based on steerable asymmetric linear filters consisting of radial wedge segments. An intensity profile is computed by averaging intensity values along a radial wedge segment as it "sweeps" about a small circular neighborhood. The "steerability" of the filters allows for interpolation of a continuous profile function for n discretely sampled postions of the ra...

BACKGROUND Exercise is a lifestyle change that has been recommended for lowering atherogenic index in adults. The intensity and duration of exercise to bring about a change in the lipid parameters are yet to be determined. Previous studies examining the effects of exercise intensity on lipid and lipoprotein levels have reported conflicting findings. Thus we aimed at determining the changes in l...

When measuring the width of the blood column and the superimposed central light reflex of retinal vessels from fundus photographs, we find that the measurements are affected by focusing error, unless certain steps are taken to reduce its effect. Thus, we recommend using a scanning microdensitometer to extract the density profile of the blood column from the negative, and convert the density pro...

Listener perceptions of changes in the arousal expressed by classical music have been found to correlate with changes in sound intensity/loudness over time. This study manipulated the intensity profiles of different pieces of music in order to test the causal nature of this relationship. Listeners (N = 38) continuously rated their perceptions of the arousal expressed by each piece. An extract f...

Enhancement of XRF intensity was investigated by using an Au coated glass-capillary. Au was electroplated on an inner wall of the glass-capillary with a thickness of 100 nm. The Au coated glass-capillary was attached to a micro focus x-ray tube. The XRF intensity from the pure metal samples was measured by a silicon drift x-ray detector. It was confirmed that the intensity of XRF was enhanced b...

Irisin in obesity was found to be lower than individuals with normal weight. Low irisin levels lead decreased metabolism. metabolism causes a decrease muscle mass, storage of triglyceride energy, and accumulation excess fatty acids the body which can risk obesity. This study aims prove effect moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on increasing obese women. research method is true experimental ran...
