THE MOVING PICTURE SHOW

The Great Moving Right Show

No one seriously concerned with political strategies in the current situation can now afford to ignore the "swing to the Right". We may not yet understand its extent and its limits, its specific character, its causes and effects. We have so far—with one or two notable exceptions—failed to find strategies capable of mobilizing social forces strong enough in depth to turn its flank. But the tende...

Diana Cell Picture Show - Biology

Images taken in Diana Bratu's lab by Dr. Irina Catrina are featured in Cell's Journal Picture Show that was recently released, called Reproduction. The image titled "The Short End of a Long Stick" shows sperm cells from Drosophila. Flies in the Drosophila genus produce the longest sperm cells on Earth. One species, Drosophila bifurca, has sperm that is 58 mm (2.3 inches) long. Our good friend D...

Moving Object Detection from MPEG Coded Picture

A proposed method extracts moving objects from MPEG bit stream directlv. i.e. without video de" , coding process. Along with rapid progress of multimedia technology, motion picture is increasingly handled on computer these days. Accordingly the MPEG format becomes a worldwide standard, and is accepted in many fields, namely broadcasting, communication, networking and archiving. At the same time...

A Study of Moving Object Detection from Unstable Motion Picture

A new method to detect and track an object having a unique movement out of general moving background comprised of a number of moving areas is reported here. After an overall picture movement is detected and normalized from local movements of an image, the moving object becomes detectable by applying a time sequential processing on the difference between frames. Thus, the detection of moving obj...
