Abstract Creating suitable classrooms that can meet the educational needs of mentally-retarded students is vitally important. The present study explores the effect of three physical characteristics of classroom environment on the creativity of educable mentally-retarded children: window view, window size, and classroom size. The participants, one hundred 9-to-11-year-old girl students, took th...

Methods of window matching to estimate 3D points are the most serious factors affecting the accuracy, robustness, and computational cost of Multi-View Stereo (MVS) algorithms. Most existing MVS algorithms employ window matching based on Normalized CrossCorrelation (NCC) to estimate the depth of a 3D point. NCC-based window matching estimates the displacement between matching windows with sub-pi...

Aiming at the trade-off between accuracy and efficiency in current local stereo matching, a fast stereo matching method based on adaptive window is proposed. The census transform combined with absolute differences (AD) is used for matching cost initialization. Then an iterative cost aggregation based on exponential step adaptive weight (ESAW) is adopted to improve the parallelism and execution ...

introduction: the different factors that affect the camera uniformity of single photon emission computed tomography (spect) technique have been analyzed including peak shift (%) and window width of energy. the effect of peak shift and window width on spect image uniformity has been investigated using a point source to perform intrinsic flood images. methods:the relation between calculated integ...

Corrupted digital images are recovered by using median filters. The most frequently occur noise is salt and pepper type impulse noise. As the noise increases it becomes hard to recover the noisy digital image. Different median filters have been suggested to recover it. Size of the window taken in the filter is also the important factor at different level of noises. The performance of standard m...

Finding the accurate position of an eye is crucial for mobile iris recognition system in order to extract the iris region quickly and correctly. Unfortunately, this is very difficult to accomplish when a person is wearing eyeglasses because of the interference from the eyeglasses. This paper proposes an eye detection method that is robust to eyeglass interference in mobile environment. The prop...

Original scientific paper Accurate estimation of harmonic parameter is an important task in signal processing of power system. A new class of flat-top windows is proposed, which is generated by self-convolutions of the fast-decaying minimum-sidelobe flat-top (FDMS-FT) window in the time-domain. The mainlobe and sidelobe features of the new window are studied. In addition, to improve the flatnes...

Process parameter window selection in semiconductor manufacturing field is usually the problem to find out the ranges of input parameters that meet production requirements, which requires allocating optima of a multimodal function efficiently. To achieve good results under the conditions of multimodal model and process control requirement, a NichePSO algorithm based method for parameter window ...
