In this paper we propose to use variable slant correction instead of an global correction, since the slant of handwritten text is not constant over a line of text. We present an algorithm that computes local slant, based on generalized projection and dynamic programming, and introduce a technique called slant map propagation. We apply it on a case study and report the results: local slant corre...

Handwritten words are usually slant or Italicized due to the mechanism of handwriting and the personality. In order to improve the accuracy of character segmentation and recognition, the authors proposed a chain code method for the slant estimation and correction[1]. However the method is very simple and usually gives good estimate of the word slant, there was a problem such that the slant tend...

Koffka's suggestions that perceived shape and perceived slant "will be coupled together so that if one changes, the other changes also" and that errors in perceived shape vary as some function of errors in perceived slant were examined. Ss described, by means of appropriate response mechanisms, the shapes and slants of trapezoids. Shape and slant responses were made both monocularly and binocul...

This paper uses an estimated Heterogeneous Agent New Keynesian (HANK) model to evaluate the quantitative importance of two channels in driving aggregate consumption fluctuations US: (i) precautionary savings against unemployment risk and (ii) MPC heterogeneity. I find that heterogeneity is dominant channel because a large fraction households are close borrowing limit. The empirical average targ...

The aim of the present paper is to study Chen inequalities for slant, bi-slant and semi-slant submanifolds in generalized complex space forms.

In this paper, an FPGA based UAV INSAR raw signal simulator is designed to address high computational complexity. It is based on a time domain raw signal generation algorithm and can compute in real time. This signal simulator is designed for Hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) UAV INSAR simulation which can be used for UAV operator training and system verification. MultiFPGAs are used in this simulato...

Eye movements introduce retinal motion to the image and so affect motion cues to depth. For instance, the slant of a plane moving at right-angles to the observer is specified by translation and a component of relative motion such as shear. To a close approximation, the translation disappears from the image when the eye tracks the surface accurately with a pursuit eye movement. However, both tra...

We measured stereoscopic slant detection thresholds for surfaces slanting about a horizontal or a vertical axis. For random-dot covered surfaces, 1.25 deg of slant was required to detect slant about a horizontal axis, whereas 2.1 deg of slant was required to detect slant about a vertical axis. This anisotropy could be due to the fact that orientation disparities, which contain information about...

We investigated temporal aspects of stereoscopically perceived slant produced by the following transformations: horizontal scale, horizontal shear, vertical scale, vertical shear, divergence and rotation, between the half-images of a stereogram. Six subjects viewed large field stimuli (70 degrees diameter) both in the presence and in the absence of a visual reference. The presentation duration ...
