While the CPI may have overstated inflation in the mid-1990s by about one percent per year, as concluded by the Boskin Commission, it does not make sense to extrapolate that rate of bias backwards over long periods of time. The "Hulten-Bruegel paradox" shows that any such exercise in backward extrapolation yields levels of real consumption two or four centuries ago that are implausibly low, bar...

Digital painting is becoming increasingly popular. While the interaction design of most digital painting software or device is confined to square screens, which limit the experience of painting. Colode is a digital painting system that reallocates the interactions of painting in a tangible approach. User can pick color from nature and use the color to draw on mobile devices anywhere. By integra...

-The development of an autonomous mobile robotic system for on-the-road marks painting is presented in this paper. The whole system involves two main parts, namely, the autonomous mobile robot navigation system and automated road mark painting system. The focus is on the painting system which is incorporated into the mobile robot platform and executed within the same computing environment. The ...

1 I N T R O D U C T I O N In order to produce Expert System for Chinese flower and bird paintings, one needs a data base of the painting composition techniques of the painters. The authors are currently studying the recognition of painters' composition as the first step to making this data base. At this stage, the authors were able to determine the similar painting elements and the composition ...

We present a way of rendering painting-like images and sequences by our Stochastic Painting-based SBR technique. We avoid disturbing artifacts by coding the images in a painting-like way. If we code the resulting stroke sequence, than the level of error comes not from the artifacts but from the painting process. For this reason, if we generate high quality paintings, we can transfer the image w...

The automation of painting process in shipbuilding is arisen as vital issue because of the insufficiency of painting workers and frequent quality claims. The increase of the painting quality is the main achievement made by the automation of the painting process. In order to maintain the good painting quality, even though the spray depth, angle and velocity are considered principally, measuring ...
