In this study we investigated whether synaesthesia is associated with a particular cognitive style. Cognitive style refers to preferred modes of information processing, such as a verbal style or a visual style. We reasoned that related to the enriched world of experiences created by synaesthesia, its association with enhanced verbal and visual memory, higher imagery and creativity, synaesthetes...

The fusion and enhancement of multiband nighttime imagery for surveillance and navigation has been the subject of extensive research for over two decades. Despite the ongoing efforts in this area there is still only a small number of static multiband test images available for the development and evaluation of new image fusion and enhancement methods. Moreover, dynamic multiband imagery is also ...

We present a method to give (fused) multiband night-time imagery a natural day-time color appearance. For input, the method requires a false color RGB image that is produced by mapping 3 individual bands (or the first 3 principal components) of a multiband nightvision system to the respective channels of an RGB image. The false color RGB nightvision image is transformed into a perceptually deco...

Synaesthesia is a condition in which one property of a stimulus triggers a secondary experience not typically associated with the first (e.g., seeing achromatic graphemes can evoke the perception of color). Recent work has explored a variety of cognitive and perceptual traits associated with synaesthesia. One example is in the domain of personality, where higher rates of positive schizotypy and...

The detection of boundaries in the field of digital photogrammetry and image analysis is still a challenging area of research. Contour models recently gained a lot of attention for recovering and localizing edge structures and thus are useful for facilitating the image segmentation problem. Their use has been extended for describing man-made structures such as roads and buildings from gray-leve...

Color casts occur in all forms of digital color imagery. Although they usually arise from a mismatch between the chromaticity of the scene illumination and the illumination for which the imaging system was color balanced, some situations provide more of a challenge for color constancy methods than others. In the case of digital cameras, for example, the spectral sensitivity of the camera can be...

Scene classification plays an important role in understanding high-resolution satellite (HRS) remotely sensed imagery. For remotely sensed scenes, both color information and texture information provide the discriminative ability in classification tasks. In recent years, substantial performance gains in HRS image classification have been reported in the literature. One branch of research combine...

(ABSTRACT) Many different types of features can appear on the surface of wooden boards, lineals or parts. Some of these features should not appear on the surfaces of wood products. These features then become undesirable or removable defects for those products. To manufacture these products boards are cutup in such a way that these undesirable defects will not appear in the final product. Studie...

Digital cinema (d-cinema) is the highest quality electronic motion imagery for entertainment. The cinema is presented in a theatrical environment, with high brightness projectors, high rate data transfer, and high resolution color imagery. The entertainment industry uses formats that are specific to film-based electronic imagery. This report describes software tools for viewing digital cinema s...

In this work we detail a method that leverages the two color heads of recent low-end fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printers to produce continuous tone imagery. The challenge behind producing such two-tone imagery is how to finely interleave the two colors while minimizing the switching between print heads, making each color printed span as long and continuous as possible to avoid artifacts...
