LEYBA, JASON. Higher Order Primitives for the Reconstruction of Coarsely Sampled Imagery. (Under the direction of Dr. Benjamin Watson). While computer-processing power continues to grow at rates predicted by Moore’s Law, display technologies have lingered and grown at a much slower pace. The ability to display interactive printer-resolution images will not be achievable for several years at the...

A real-time markerless subject tracking system for projecting 2D imagery into an augmented reality space is proposed using shape and color features to accomplish high computational efficiency and robust detection. The system is implemented on Android devices and is able to run consistently at a speed of around 30FPS. Results suggest that the algorithm is reasonably robust to variation in viewin...

My colleagues and I are developing and evaluating a new technique for the extraction of environmental information including water-column inherent optical properties (IOPs) and shallowwater bathymetry and bottom classification from remotely-sensed hyperspectral ocean-color spectra. We address the need for rapid, automated interpretation of hyperspectral imagery. The research issues center on dev...

The imagery within the reproduced mythographic WingMakers' Chamber 17 Painting is interpreted. The picture illustrates, in articulate detail and vivid color, the WingMakers' philosophy and mythology of the metaphysical and/or biogenetic transformation of the individual. Standard mythology publications, and the latest findings in brain neurology are cited and discussed along with comparisons to ...

Software has been developed to help engineers visualize the gamuts of color hardcopy devices. Software modules have been written so that color gamuts and color space transformations can be explored using a scientific visualization program. Tools have been created that allow the user to accentuate the differences between gamuts and to interact with the displayed data. The data flow architecture ...

In this paper, we describe our concepts to visualize very large amounts of data. Our visualization techniques which have been developed to support querying large scientific databases are designed to visualize as many data items as possible on current display devices. Even if we are able to use each pixel of the display device to visualize one data value, the number of data items that can be vis...

In traditional image production workflows, imagery is processed in multiple steps, with the imagery being sampled multiple times, and being read and written to disk multiple times. This reduces image quality and production efficiency. The linear workflows also are susceptible to bottlenecks when a single parameter in the workflow is not available or needs to be changed. ArcGIS Image server enab...

Human perception of an image's conspicuity depends on the stimulus itself and the observer's semantic interpretation. We investigated the relative contribution of the former, sensory-driven, component. Participants viewed sequences of images from five different classes-fractals, overhead satellite imagery, grayscale and colored natural scenes, and magazine covers-and graded each numerically acc...
