A Decision Support Software Tool for Reasoning about the Subjective Impressions of a Lighting Installation

The discipline of architecture is concerned with finding a balance between both the functional and the subjective aspects of a building environment. This involves managing contradictory requirements that are often difficult to resolve through purely numerical analysis; an example of this is an electrical lighting installation designed to evoke a desired subjective impression or ‘atmosphere’, wh...

server that hosts the hospital’s electronic medical records system, and for the internal memory of all client terminals. The hospital also decided to improve network performance for the accelerated storage platform. “By connecting backend servers, the existing 1 Gbps metal network could be upgraded to 10 Gbps optical fiber, which hugely boosts transmission speed,” explained Torikai. “We have ad...

Algorithms for Visual Tracking of Visitors Under Variable-Lighting Conditions for a Responsive Audio Art Installation

For a responsive audio art installation in a skylit atrium, we developed a single-camera statistical segmentation and tracking algorithm. The algorithm combines statistical background image estimation, per-pixel Bayesian classification, and an approximate solution to the multi-target tracking problem using a bank of Kalman filters and Gale-Shapley matching. A heuristic confidence model enables ...
