Motion blur is an important visual cue for the illusion of object motion. It has many applications in computer animation, virtual reality and augmented reality. In this work, we present a nonlinear imaging model for synthetic motion blur generation. It is shown that the intensity response of the image sensor is determined by the optical parameters of the camera and can be derived by a simple ph...

The problem of controlling the blood glucose value of a patient suffering from type 1 diabetes is considered. The proposed strategy consists in designing a robust nonlinear model predictive controller based on a minimal nonlinear model. The various uncertainties and disturbances are introduced through the use of a variational model. The control problem is then expressed as a constrained game ty...

We produce soliton and similarity solutions of supersymmetric extensions of Burgers, Korteweg–de Vries and modified KdV equations. We give new representations of the τ -functions in Hirota bilinear formalism. Chiral superfields are used to obtain such solutions. We also introduce new solitons called virtual solitons whose nonlinear interactions produce no phase shifts.

Physically based modeling of deformable objects such as cloth or human tissue has grown to be very important for virtual simulations. However, interactive simulation of these nonlinear deformable objects require high computational power in order to achieve the level of detail and realism required by typical applications. In this paper we introduce a high performance interactive simulation syste...

virtual technology can be a useful tool for designing models of healthy urban environments. the resilience and sustainability in any urban environment involves the establishment and maintenance of the health of its citizens. the well-being of youth, the future workforce of every society, is a highly important consideration in the design of cities. cities are only truly sustainable when the work...

A method is described for set-point tracking in nonlinear systems when pointwise-in-time input and/or state inequality constraints are to be enforced. It consists of adding to a primal compensated system a nonlinear device called command governor (CG) whose action is based on the current state, set-point and prescribed constraints. The CG selects at any time the system input via a receding-hori...

A three-dimensional (3D) integrated guidance and control (IGC) design approach is proposed by using small-gain theorem in this paper. The 3D IGC model is formulated by combining nonlinear pursuer dynamics with the nonlinear dynamics describing pursuitevasion motion. Small-gain theorem and ISS theory are iteratively utilized to design desired attack angle, sideslip angle and attitude angular rat...

This comment on the paper "A comprehensive modeling and vibration analysis of AFM microcantilevers subjected to nonlinear tip-sample interaction forces" by Sohrab Eslami and Jalili (2012) [1] aims to: (1) discuss and elucidate the concept of "virtual resonance" and thus (2) avert a misinterpretation of the experimental results and findings reported in the Tetard et al. Physical Review Letters 1...

Although we understand some systems well enough to make precise or statistical predictions, most interesting systems whether physical, mental, cultural, or virtual are complex, nonlinear, and have properties that emerge from feedback between many interactions. Exhaustive searches of all possibilities are impossible. Unfathomable and unintended consequences dominate. Problems cascade. Complex sy...

This paper will discuss the design and implementation of a tunable virtual bass enhancement Audio Unit (AU) plug-in. Background theory will also be given on the missing fundamental theory and harmonic generation using nonlinear devices, since they are crucial to the operation of this plug-in.
