Various vision tasks are usually confronted by appearance variations due to changes of illumination. For instance, in a recognition system, it has been shown that the variability in human face appearance is owed to changes to lighting conditions...
Traffic sign (TS) detection and tracking is one of the main tasks of an autonomous vehicle which is addressed in the field of computer vision. An autonomous vehicle must have vision based recognition of the road to follow the rules like every other...
This thesis and exhibition examine the connection between neurobiology and Op Art. Neurobiological explanations of Op Art's effects are explored as a means to offer insight into the processes of the human mind and eye, and to provide explanations...
The secondary visual pathway, from the retina through the superior colliculus and pulvinar nucleus has been linked to spatial attention (Snow et aI., 2009; Arend et aI., 2008) movement planning and motor response to visual stimuli (Wilke et aI....
Computer vision; Pattern recognition systems; Human face recognition (Computer science)
Humans have the uncanny ability to perceive the world in three dimensions (3D), otherwise known as depth perception. The amazing thing about this ability to determine distances is that it depends only on a simple two-dimensional (2D) image in the...
Image processing; Computer vision; Pattern recognition systems
Image segmentation is one of the most important problems in image processing, object recognition, computer vision, medical imaging, etc. In general, the objective of the segmentation is to partition the image into the meaningful areas using the...
Congenital stationary night blindness 1 (CSNBl) is a genetic disorder characterized in humans by night blindness, low visual acuity and myopia. CSNB 1 is caused by defects in genes that are involved in signaling between photoreceptors and...
Human-computer interaction; Computer vision; Human-machine systems; Nonverbal communication
Hand gesture recognition (HGR) is an important research topic because some
situations require silent communication with sign languages. Computational HGR
systems assist silent communication, and help people learn a sign language.
In this thesis. a...
Night vision--Genetic aspects; Vision disorders--Genetic aspects
Mutations in the NYX gene, encoding the novel protein nyctalopin, cause human congenital stationary night blindness type 1 (CSNB1). CSNB1 is an X-linked recessive condition and is identified by a loss of the electroretinogram (ERG) b-wave while the...
The pulvinar is the largest nucleus of the human dorsal thalamus and is affected in a variety of brain disorders, such as schizophrenia. The experiments described in this dissertation elucidate key features of tecto-pulvino-cortical pathways as a...
High dynamic range imaging involves imaging at a bit depth higher than the typical 8-12 bits offered by standard video equipment. We propose a method of imaging a scene at high dynamic range, 14+ bits, to detect motion correlated with changes in...
This dissertation addresses two different problems: 1) coronal loop detection from solar images: and 2) salient contour group extraction from cluttered images. In the first part, we propose two different solutions to the coronal loop detection...
Many conflicting reports have been given in the literature concerning the effect of various factors on the rate of reversal of figure and ground in reversible perspective.
Flugel (7, 8) suggested that changes in eye movement increased the number of...
Aluminum fiber metal laminates (AFMLs) are a promising new type of fiber metal laminate that consists of aluminum foils interleaved with layers of a graphite fiber-polymer matrix composite (PMC) material. AFMLs combine the attractive features of...
Dr. C. Adeline McConville and Dr. Joseph Addison Stucky examine a patient at the Anderson Hall clinic. Dr. Stucky's medical practice was in Lexington, Kentucky, and Dr. McConville practiced in New York, but they held joint clinics at Oneida Baptist...
A portrait of an unidentified woman with cataracts. She appears to be standing outside the Anderson Hall Medical Clinic at Oneida Baptist Institute. The clinic was primarily focused on identifying and treating patients with trachoma, a contagious...
A close-up of a woman with cataracts, apparently outside the Anderson Hall Medical Clinic at Oneida Baptist Institute. The clinic was primarily focused on identifying and treating patients with trachoma, a contagious eye disease. A bungalow...
A woman examines a little girl at the Anderson Hall clinic. The clinic was primarily focused on identifying and treating patients with trachoma, a contagious eye disease. A bungalow hospital was opened on the grounds of the institute in 1913....
