A curvilinear robot constructed from a number of modular flexible sections of fixed length and diameter but independently controlled radius and direction of curvature has been equipped with an optical fibre image guide transmitting images from between the gripper jaws to the remote TV camera of Microvision-100, a microcomputer controlled real-time DMA-based vision system that is easily trained ...

the study of the principles and requirements of the leader's “heroic softened” is theaim of this study which is one of the key concepts and policies expressed leader inlast few years. initially, the intellectual foundation of the leader approach to foreignpolicy is three strategies: leadership, wisdom and interest in foreign policy.according to them, strategy negation relation domineering ...

Computer vision is one way of a computer interacting with the physical world. It is the process of taking images or video and destinguising if anything is useful to the computer in that frame. Some applications for computer vision is medical procedures, factory procedures, navigation, and digital libraries [5]. Computer vision takes an image and creates a data representation of the object which...

Fig. 2) Examples of disparity decoding from a natural stereo image pair using different model settings. Each model returns a map of model cell responses (binocular complex cells) tuned to a range of spatial frequencies and orientations. The disparity decoder then sums the responses over orientations and spatial frequencies and returns the value of disparity with maximal summed response. Left) O...

An autonomous outdoor vehicle has been developed at the Silsoe Research Institute as a testbed to investigate precise crop protection. The vehicle is able to navigate along rows of crop by using a Kalman lter to fuse information from proprioceptive sensing (odometry and in-ertial sensors) with data from an on-board computer vision system to generate estimates of its position and orientation. Th...

The Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine has developed an exercise to introduce professional ethics and behavior at the earliest stages of medical education. During orientation, each incoming class creates a class vision statement. After small group discussions on professional ethics, honesty, and responsibilities, representatives from each group collated student input and constructed a...

The effects of early monocular deprivation on visual acuity and visual cortical responses can be reversed quickly if vision is restored to the deprived eye and the other eye is deprived instead, a procedure known as reverse occlusion. However, recovery of vision through the originally deprived eye (ODE) is not stable. Following re-opening of the recently deprived (originally nondeprived) eye (O...

The effect of sensory input on the performance of a geographical orientation task of children at two different ages (kindergartners and fourth graders) and adults was determined. I investigated the ability of subjects to point accurately to the starting position after experiencing identical routes under three sensory conditions. In Condition 1, subjects were led walking through routes and could...

The present paper addresses whether topographical jitter or undersampling might limit pattern perception in foveal, peripheral and strabismic amblyopic vision. In the first experiment, we measured contrast thresholds for detecting and identifying the orientation (up, down, left, right) of E-like patterns comprised of Gabor samples. We found that detection and identification thresholds were both...
