Animal gaits from video: Comparative studies
We present a method for animating 3D models of animals from existing live video sequences such as wild life documentaries. Videos are first segmented into binary images on which principal component analysis (PCA) is applied. The time-varying coordinates of the images in the PCA space are then used to generate 3D animation. This is done through interpolation with radial basis functions of 3D pos...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA Damage and Animal Longevity: Insights from Comparative Studies
Chemical reactions in living cells are under strict enzyme control and conform to a tightly regulated metabolic program. However, uncontrolled and potentially deleterious endogenous reactions occur, even under physiological conditions. Aging, in this chemical context, could be viewed as an entropic process, the result of chemical side reactions that chronically and cumulatively degrade the func...
متن کاملSymmetry in locomotor central pattern generators and animal gaits.
Animal locomotion is controlled, in part, by a central pattern generator (CPG), which is an intraspinal network of neurons capable of generating a rhythmic output. The spatio-temporal symmetries of the quadrupedal gaits walk, trot and pace lead to plausible assumptions about the symmetries of locomotor CPGs. These assumptions imply that the CPG of a quadruped should consist of eight nominally i...
متن کاملAutomated interactive video playback for studies of animal communication.
Video playback is a widely-used technique for the controlled manipulation and presentation of visual signals in animal communication. In particular, parameter-based computer animation offers the opportunity to independently manipulate any number of behavioral, morphological, or spectral characteristics in the context of realistic, moving images of animals on screen. A major limitation of conven...
متن کاملReporting of Results from Animal Studies
One of the key elements of the scientific process is reproducibility: Experimental results generated in one laboratory must be repro ducible by others working independently. Therefore, it is of concern to us as editors of a major scientific journal to learn that only 6 of 53 " landmark " preclinical cancer studies could be reproduced (Begley and Ellis 2012). In addition, Prinz et al. (2011) re...
