Toshihiro Okamoto, DDS, PhD Tomohiro Ando, DDS, PhD Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Tokyo Women’s Medical University, School of Medicine Shinjuku-ku Tokyo, Japan Sir: C and surgical photographs are valuable for maxillofacial surgeons. Photographs can help surgeons to review novel procedures performed and can be used to teach students and residents and prepare manuscripts. Taking ph...

We used a graduated guidance procedure to teach 4 boys with autism to follow photographic activity schedules to increase on-task and on-schedule behavior. The multiple baseline across participants design included baseline, teaching, maintenance, resequencing of photographs, and generalization to novel photographs phases. The results indicated that photographic activity schedules (albums depicti...

Photographs have significant social roles. For example, they help families and friends to preserve an affective link and provide a support for communication. The increasing popularity of digital photography, combined with global networking, is likely to emphasize this function as sharing photographs will become cheaper, faster and easier. Based on this observation, we propose a framework allowi...

Photographs are records of projected images of the photographed scene. All the parameters of the projection are defined by the lens and the image sensor used. To efficiently merge multiple photographs, the projection parameters must be adjusted and the lens distortion has to be computed and eliminated. This paper describes a method for merging of multiple photographs and for elimination of the ...

Methods: Eligibility criteria for CAPT required 10 or more large ( 125 μm) drusen in each eye. Readers graded baseline photographs from all participants and all follow-up photographs from 402 untreated eyes. Drusen and pigment characteristics were used to assign the AREDS scale score. Choroidal neovascularization was identified from fluorescein angiograms. Geographic atrophy involving the macul...

OBJECTIVE To compare the use of the 5-year-olds' index on both dental study casts and intraoral photographs when measuring primary surgical outcome for children born with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING Models and photographs collected from cleft units across the UK as part of the CCUK (Cleft Care UK) study were scored by two clinicians at the...

We are concerned with texture-mapping recovered geometry with photographs. The photographs overlap, and typically a point in the geometry is covered by multiple photographs. The geometry is represented as a triangular mesh which may be recovered either from photographs or from laser range data. From photographs that have been aligned with the geometry, we wish to manufacture specialized texture...

This report focuses on the acquisition of shape and appearance of real objects under static illumination without the need for an elaborate calibration process or an expensive setup. Emphasis is placed on ease of use and obtaining visually pleasing results. Using recent advances in matting techniques, an opacity hull of the object is computed from an un-calibrated sequence of photographs. User i...

In this paper we address the problem of interacting with large streams of photographs. To achieve this, we studied patterns of photography, and found that photo streams exhibit a strong burst pattern along multiple levels of the time line. Using this fact we developed an algorithm to automatically organize the photographs hierarchically, where each node corresponds to a different event that the...

Building model reconstruction has been attracting a great attention from researchers in the geomatics society all over the world. Buildings provide essential information to urban planning, tourism, telecommunication, homeland security, and many others. Much building reconstruction research has been conducted on aerial photographs and LIDAR point data. Some studies are commenced by researchers i...
