The idea of Fixation introduced a direct method for general recovery of shape and motion from images without using either feature correspondence or optical flow [1,2]. There are some parameters which have important effects on the performance of fixation method. However, the theory of fixation does not say anything about the autonomous and correct choice of those parameters. This paper presents ...

each organization forms its own culture in which the shared values,beliefs, and behaviours of the members of that organization come together and coalesce over period of time. in due course, the leadership style of the top management, and the norms, values and beliefs of the members combine to form the corporate culture. organizational effectiveness may be increased by creating a culture that ac...

In this paper, are presented the general architecture and implementation of a multi-task distributed vision system designed and embedded onboard a Hex-Rotorcraft UAV. The system uses multiple cheap heterogeneous cameras in order to perform various tasks such as: ground target pedestrian detection, tracking, creating panoramic images, video stabilization and streaming multiple data/video feeds o...

Effective vision for action and effective management of concurrent spatial relations underlie skillful manipulation of objects, including hand tools, in humans. Children's performance in object insertion tasks (fitting tasks) provides one index of the striking changes in the development of vision for action in early life. Fitting tasks also tap children's ability to work with more than one feat...

Managing a complex illness often requires different treatment regimens spread over a long time. The complexity of these potentially life-threatening diagnoses can be daunting to patients while they are most vulnerable. We present a vision for artificial intelligenceenabled tools for assisting patients in managing the complex information given to them over the course of their treatments through ...

PURPOSE A cross-sectional survey to evaluate the current management of wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) and to identify barriers to treatment from a patient and caregiver perspective. METHODS An ophthalmologist-devised questionnaire was given to a global cohort of patients who were receiving (or had previously received) antivascular endothelial growth factor injections and to careg...

In this paper, we discuss an intelligent bridge inspection system by using a Robot and IT technology which enables acquiring images of the bridge condition for managing the safety of its structure. The purpose of this study is composed of two parts: 1) the image acquisition of a bridge structure with the application of a vision-based robot, the name of the robot system is U-BIROS(Ubiquitous Bri...

w m a a i R i v g r a a R m m w i i a ( b S EARLY AS THE FOURTH CENTURY BC, THE IMPORtance of the concept of quality of life (QoL) has been debated by philosophers including Socrates, ristotle, and Royce. The interest in QoL has grown xponentially in the last century and a recent Medline earch using the term “quality of life” generated over 1 500 related articles. To date, “QoL” has become de i...
