Video-based human body tracking using color segmentation often causes problems due to movements of the object or changes in the global illumination parameters. In this paper the innuence of varying lighting conditions and large object movements in space is measured and analysed. For color segmentation an eecient technique for histogram-classiication is used. Based on the measurement results we ...

Interest in view interpolation and novel view synthesis is growing. In this paper we show how dense correspondence can be found between needle-maps generated using shape-from-shading, which in turn can be used to generate new needle-maps. From these we can produce novel intermediate views, and also estimates of how each intermediate view would look under different lighting conditions. The appro...

Solid-state lighting (SSL) offers a new technology platform for lighting designers and end-users to illuminate spaces with low energy demand. Two types of SSL sources include organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). OLED is an area light source, and its primary competing technology is the edge-lit LED panel. Generally, both of these technologies are considered sim...

<span lang="EN-US">Technological development is an inherent feature of this time, that reliance on electronic applications in all daily transactions (business management, banking, financial transfers, health, and other important aspects life). Identifying confirming identity one the complex challenges. Therefore, relying biological properties gives reliable results. People can be identifi...

Dynamic envelope/lighting systems have the potential to optimize the perimeter zone energy balance between daylight admission and solar heat gain rejection on a real-time basis, and to increase occupant comfort. Two side-by-side full-scale offices in Oakland, California were built to further develop and test this concept. An automated venetian blind was operated in synchronization with a dimmab...
