Mobile displays have been recognized as the major contributors to the energy consumption of contemporary mobile video services. Existing display energy reduction (DER) algorithms focus on local video/image processing by utilizing the computation resources on the mobile devices. As such, a per-device DER strategy is highly inefficient from the systematic perspective since the same computation is...

The paper deals with prospective 3D video transmission systems that are needed for future video services like free viewpoint television or stereovision with autostreoscopic displays. Such systems possible would use transmission of a limited set of viewpoint video sequences. In a receiver, other necessary views have to be synthesized. The paper presents a hybrid technique for viewpoint video syn...

Projection-based visual display systems are expected to be effective platforms for VR applications, in which the displayed images are generated by computer graphics using three-dimensional models of virtual worlds. However, these kinds of visual displays, as well as other kinds of fixed-screen-based displays such as various head-tracked displays (HTD) and conventional CRT displays, have not bee...

Video displays for behavioral research lend themselves particularly well to studies with chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), as their vision is comparable to humans', yet there has been no formal test of the efficacy of video displays as a form of social information for chimpanzees. To address this, we compared the learning success of chimpanzees shown video footage of a conspecific compared to chim...

Locked volar plating is the most common surgical procedure to address distal radius fractures. The extended flexor carpi radialis (FCR) approach continues to be an excellent method for visualizing distal radius fractures and applying a volar plate. (See Video 1, Supplemental Digital Content 1, which discusses distal radial fracture advancements and possible complications. This video is availabl...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of communicative breakdowns experienced by participants collaboratively performing a task in three communication environments: face-to-face, mediated by an audio connection, and mediated by both an audio and a video connection. A quantitative analysis showed significantly less breakdown in the copresent condition than in either of the two technological...

In this paper we propose AR-Navi, an in-vehicle navigation system that uses video-based augmented reality technology. AR-Navi includes an invehicle camera, which captures real-time video, and displays the guidance which overlays the video display. To solve several problems that arise when real-time video is used, we propose registration adjustment based on recognizing crosswalks and filtering i...

We describe FreeCam a system capable of generating live free-viewpoint video by simulating the output of a virtual camera moving through a dynamic scene. The FreeCam sensing hardware consists of a small number of static color video cameras and state-of-the-art Kinect depth sensors, and the FreeCam software uses a number of advanced GPU processing and rendering techniques to seamlessly merge the...

They are used in a wide range of applications, including computer monitors, television, instrument panels, aircraft cockpit displays, signage, etc. They are common in consumer devices such as video players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones. LCDs have displaced cathode ray tube (CRT) displays in most applications. They are usually more compact, lightweight, portable, ...
