After adaptation by an observer to a patch of gradually increasing (or decreasing) luminance, a steady test patch appeared to be gradually dimming (or brightening). These aftereffects did not transfer interocularly. Adaptation to a checkerboard, in which the white squares gradually dimmed while the black squares gradually brightened, gave an aftereffect that was a pattern of intersecting diagon...

This paper presents a Schelling-type checkerboard model of residential segregation formulated as a spatial game. It shows that although every agent prefers to live in a mixed-race neighborhood, complete segregation is observed almost all of the time. A concept of tipping is rigorously defined, which is crucial for understanding the dynamics of segregation. Complete segregation emerges and persi...

In this paper, we derive an explicit formula for the bivariate Lagrange basis polynomials of a general set checkerboard nodes. This generalizes existing results at Padua nodes, Chebyshev Morrow-Patterson and Geronimus We also construct subspace spanned by linearly independent vanishing that vanish nodes prove uniqueness in quotient space defined as with certain degree over polynomials.

Visual evoked potentials (VEP's) recorded from the scalp are sensitive to retinal image sharpness and thus to changes in the refractive state of the eye. Initially the responses to checkerboard flash or reversal stimuli were computer-averaged in order to raise the signal above the noise, primarily the electroencephalogram (EEG). Recently analogue Fourier signal analysis has been proposed for us...

In this paper we present framework for hierarchical calibration of multi-camera based teleimmersion systems. First, we calibrate the internal camera parameters and geometry of each stereo cluster using a checkerboard. Next, we present a robust and efficient method to externally calibrate the location of the stereo clusters using virtual calibration object created by two LED markers. Our novel a...
