Current mosaicing methods use narrow field of view cameras to acquire image data. This poses problems when computing a complete spherical mosaic. First, a large number of images are needed to capture a sphere. Second, errors in mosaicing make it difficult to complete the spherical mosaic without seams. Third, with a hand-held camera it is hard for the user to ensure complete coverage of the sph...

We are studying the geometry of a 360 x 360 mosaic image formation. A 360 x 360 mosaic camera model and a calibration procedure are proposed. It is shown that only one point correspondence is needed in order to acquire epipolarily rectified images. The 360 x 360 mosaic camera model is therefore determined by only one intrinsic parameter. It is shown that the relation between coordinates estimat...

Recently, Microsoft introduced a game interface called Kinect for the Xbox 360 video game platform. This interface enables users to control and interact with the game console without the need to touch a controller. It largely increases the users’ degree of freedom to express their emotion. In this paper, we first describe the system we developed to use this interface for sound generation and co...

This paper describes patterns of skill progression in Forza Motorsport 4, an Xbox 360 racing game. Using in-game telemetry data from more than 200,000 players and 24 million races, we characterize how players use and customize driving assists such as the trajectory line, automatic gear shifting, or assisted braking over time. We find that some of the assists are never disabled by significant pl...

A ambição deste ensaio então, consiste em, utilizando a recente história nacional desses quase 21 anos, e poucos presidentes, de origens perfis tão diametrais, entender como estes processos alteraram - ou não o curso da história, do Estado brasileiro neste milênio. Para além disso, em continuidade, depreender, nas políticas governo adotadas cada um dos períodos investigados, se estas, foram eiv...
