In this report we investigate the application of texture synthesis and image inpainting techniques for video compression. Working in the non-parametric framework, we use 3D patches for matching and copying. This ensures temporal continuity to some extent which is not possible to obtain by working with individual frames. Since, in present application, patches might contain arbitrary shaped and m...

Three-dimensional objects distributed over a surface occlude each other in a manner dependent upon the angle (sigma) between the surface normal and the viewer. Leung and Malik note that occlusion allows the top of the objects to be seen, but not the bottom. For the case where the objects are differently colored as a function of height, the color content of the scene will thus depend upon sigma....

We present a method to analyze binary-lens microlensing light curves with one well-sampled fold caustic crossing. In general, the surface of χ shows extremely complicated behavior over the 9-parameter space that characterizes binary lenses. This makes it difficult to systematically search the space and verify that a given local minimum is a global minimum. We show that for events with well-moni...

We analyze PLANET collaboration data for MACHO 97-BLG-41, the only microlensing event observed to date in which the source transits two disjoint caustics. The PLANET data, consisting of 46 V-band and 325 I-band observations from five southern observatories, span a period from the initial alert until the end of the event. Our data are incompatible with a static binary lens, but are well fit by a...

We present photometric and spectroscopic data for the second microlensing event seen toward the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), MACHO-98-SMC-001. The lens is a binary. We resolve the caustic crossing and find that the source took 2∆t = 8.5 hours to transit the caustic. We measure the source temperature Teff = 8000 K both spectroscopically and from the color (V − I)0 ∼ 0.22. We find two acceptable...

The water maser lines in the Seyfert nucleus of the Circinus galaxy vary on time scales as short as a few minutes. The amplitude of one line more than doubled in ≈ 10 minutes, reaching ≈ 37 Jy, which corresponded to an increase of ≈ 6 L⊙, assuming isotropic emission, in a single maser feature on a size scale of about 1 AU, based on light-travel time. Other lines vary by up to about 30% on simil...
