Restoration in Virtual Nature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Restoration psychology has used virtual environments as a research tool in laboratory experiments for a long time; mostly as standins for physical environments, thus making research settings more controllable and enhancing internal validity. Just recently researchers focused on the virtual environments itself, its’ restorative quality and its’ ecological validity (e.g. Kort de, Meijnders, Sponselee & IJsselsteijn, 2006; Martens & Bauer, 2010; Ziesenitz, 2010). This shift in perspective raises questions like: • How do people experience, feel or act in virtual nature? • What is it that influences restoration in virtual nature? • How should a simulation of nature be composed to make it restorative?

Virtual restoration of Artworks using Entropy-Based Color Image Filtering Schemes
This paper presents a family of adaptive color image filters based on robust order-statistics and local contrast entropy control. The proposed filtering class is fully adaptive and free of any optimization procedure. Due to the adaptive nature of the algorithms and excellent balance between noise-removing and detailpreserving characteristics, it is desirable to use this technique as a pre-proce...

متن کاملVirtual Flux Based Direct Power Control on Vienna Rectifier
This paper proposes the virtual flux based direct power control for Vienna rectifier. No need for the input voltage sensors, the current regulation loop and PWM voltage modulation block along with the active and reactive power decoupling are some of the salient advantages of this method that make it suitable for controlling the conventional active rectifiers. However, due to the three-level nat...
