With the iminent widespread availablility of digital video broadcasts and the subsequent increase in the demand for broadcast material, image sequence restoration is an increasing source of concern for both archivists and broadcasters. This paper presents a two stage technique for registering the lines in video data digitized from a noisy source. In such situations the horizontal synchronizatio...

A novel approach to the estimation of seafloor geoacoustic parameters from the measurement of the acoustic field in the water column is introduced. The approach is based on the idea of approximating the inverse function that links the geoacoustic parameters with the measured field through a series expansion of Radial Basis Functions. In particular, Gaussian basis functions are used in order to ...

For example, K. Künnemann [Ku] proved that if X is a projective space, then the conjecture is true. Here we fix a notation. We say a Hermitian line bundle (H, k) on X is arithmetically ample if (1) H is f -ample, (2) the Chern form c1(H∞, k∞) is positive definite on the infinite fiber X∞, and (3) there is a positive integer m0 such that, for any integer m ≥ m0, H(X, H) is generated by the set {...

SUMMARY Drone-towed scalar field gradiometry surveys conducted in windy conditions or under self-excited oscillations generate attitude-induced responses that can hinder the geological interpretation. Here, we present a gradiometric equivalent source method (GESM) to remove these by interpolating and continuing measured data new idealized pseudo-sensor positions free of any attitude deviations....

We continue our study of document marking to deter illicit dissemination. An experiment we performed reveals that the distortion on the photocopy of a document is very diierent in the vertical and horizontal directions. This leads to the strategy that marks a text line both vertically using line shifting and horizontally using word shifting. A line that is marked is always accompanied by two un...

Patients with left unilateral neglect bisect long horizontal lines to the right of the true centre. However, when given short lines, many of the same patients mark the midpoint to the left of the true centre, towards the otherwise neglected space. This paradoxical phenomenon has been termed 'cross-over' and is difficult to explain based on current accounts of the neglect syndrome. To explore th...

OBJECTIVE To localize the site of motor points within human biceps brachii muscles through surface mapping using electrophysiological method. METHOD We recorded the compound muscle action potentials of each lattice of the biceps brachii in 40 healthy subjects. Standardized reference lines were made as the following: 1) a horizontal reference line (elbow crease) and 2) a vertical reference lin...

We continue our study of document marking t o deter illicit dissemination. A n experiment we performed reveals that the distortion on the photocopy of a document is very different in the vertical and horizontal directions. This leads to the strategy that marks a text line both vertically using line shifting and horizontally using word shifting. A line that is marked is always accompanied by two...
