This paper presents an approach to capture visual appearance of a real environment such as an interior of a room. We propose the method for generating arbitrary viewpoint images by building light eld with the omni-directional camera, which can capture the wide circumferences. Omni-directional camera used in this technique is a special camera with the hyperbolic mirror in the upper part of a cam...

Due to the rapid growth of e-commerce sales, many retailers have been shifting to omni-channel operations by integrating their network of brick-and-mortar stores with their nascent online channel. However, existing analytics infrastructure and models have not been able to keep pace with this development. We identify and address new omni-channel operational challenges: (i) in-store inventory is ...

BACKGROUND Omni® (B. Braun, Germany) is a new-generation, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) machine designed to improve user interface, minimize downtime and optimize renal dose delivery. It was never tested in humans. METHODS We used Omni® to provide CRRT in 10 critically ill patients. We collected therapy data, metabolic parameters and evaluated user's satisfaction with a survey. ...

The aims of this study were to: (1) compare the Heart Rate (HR) and Rating Perceived Exertion (RPE) in training with self-selected and imposed loads, and (2) associate the OMNI-Walk/Run and Borg scales with self-selected and imposed loads, both on a treadmill. Ten trained men (20.3 ± 2.0 years, 75.6 ± 9.8 kg, 175.1 ± 5.1 cm) participated in a training program with self-selected load (time and s...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of the OMNI Resistance Exercise scale (OMNI-RES) for monitoring the intensity of different modes of resistance training in children who are overweight or obese. Sixty-one children (mean age = 9.7 +/- 1.4 years) performed three resistance training sessions every week for 4 weeks. Each session consisted of three sets of 3-15 repetitions of eigh...

in this paper, an intelligent controller is applied to control omni-directional robots motion. first, the dynamics of the three wheel robots, as a nonlinear plant with considerable uncertainties, is identified using an efficient algorithm of training, named lolimot. then, an intelligent controller based on brain emotional learning algorithm is applied to the identified model. this emotional lea...

Convectional Omni directional sensors that always have an omni angle of sensing range, directional sensors may have a limited angle of sensing range due to the technical constraints or cost considerations. A directional sensor network consists of a number of directional sensors, which can switch to several directions to extend their sensing ability to cover all the targets in a given area. Impr...

A novel approach to location estimation by omni-directional vision for autonomous vehicle navigation in indoor environments using circular landmark information is proposed. A circular-shaped landmark is attached on a ceiling and an omni-directional camera is equipped on a vehicle to take upwardlooking omni-directional images of the landmark. This way of image taking reduces possible landmark sh...

We investigate omni-supervised learning, a special regime of semi-supervised learning in which the learner exploits all available labeled data plus internet-scale sources of unlabeled data. Omni-supervised learning is lowerbounded by performance on existing labeled datasets, offering the potential to surpass state-of-the-art fully supervised methods. To exploit the omni-supervised setting, we p...
