Depth-ambiguous point-light walkers are most frequently seen as facing-the-viewer (FTV). It has been argued that the FTV bias depends on recognising the stimulus as a person. Accordingly, reducing the social relevance of biological motion by presenting stimuli upside down has been shown to reduce FTV bias. Here, we replicated the experiment that reported this finding and added stick figure walk...

This paper will outline a steady flow control technique that augments the diffusion process within a stator passage via a continuous co-flowing secondary flow stream along the suction surface. The technique is similar to that used for flow vectoring in nozzles where a secondary flow stream is used to enhance the diffusion and vectoring of high speed jets. Diffusion factors in excess of 0.95 are...

—With the latest technology of vectoring, DSL data rates in the order of 100Mbps have become a reality that is under field deployment. The key is to cancel crosstalk from other lines, which is also known as multiuser MIMO cancellation for wireless communications. During the DSL system upgrade phase of field deployment, mix of legacy and vectoring-enabled VDSL lines is inevitable and a channel e...

We propose an implementation of a model-based free-viewpoint TV (FTV) system using only three uncalibrated cameras. FTV is next-generation media that enables us to see a scene from any viewpoint. A modelbased approach for realizing FTV requires real-time 3D object capture using multiple cameras. Here, we propose a system for reconstructing 3D object surfaces using the so-called 2D continuous dy...
