The experiments demonstrate that the contrib...

Drawing on social identity theory, the present study investigated the utility of conceptualizing and measuring identification in terms of the congruency between different identification targets. Participants were 189 employees from a large metropolitan hospital (104 male and 82 female). The results of a series of hierarchical regression analyses showed that the measures of identification congru...

During laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon’s hand-eye coordination is often disrupted by the incongruent mapping between the orientation of the endoscopic view and the actual operative field. This can lead to higher mental load and deteriorated performance for the surgeon. This study investigated the effect of visual-motor misalignment on laparoscopic surgery performance. Twenty-four subjects par...

Nerves and vessels often run parallel to one another, a phenomenon that reflects their functional interdependency. Previous studies have suggested that neurovascular congruency in planar tissues such as skin is established through a "one-patterns-the-other" model, in which either the nervous system or the vascular system precedes developmentally and then instructs the other system to form using...

-Image quality assessment (IQA) aims to establish generic metrics consistently with subjective evaluations using computational models. Recent phase congruency, which is a dimensionless, normalized feature of a local structure, is used as the structure similarity feature. This paper proposes a novel feature similarity (RMFSIM) index for full reference IQA based on monogenic signal theory. A mono...

This paper presents a new feature matching algorithm for nonrigid multimodal image registration. The proposed algorithm first constructs phase congruency representations (PCR) of images to be registered. Then scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) method is applied to capture significant feature points from PCR. Subsequently, the putative matching is obtained by the nearest neighbour matching...

recently a method has been developed to decouple the equations of motion for multi-rigid body systems. in this paper, the method is first studied, then the equations of motion for a planar two degree-of-freedom robot with flexible joints are carried out using lagaranges equations and kanes equation with congruency transformations. finally, the results obtained from both methods are throroughly ...
