Geometric differences between the images seen by each eye enable the perception of depth. Additionally, depth is produced in the absence of geometric disparities with binocular disparities in either the average luminance or contrast, which is known a...
Video eye trackers rely on the position of the pupil centre. However, the pupil centre can shift when the pupil size changes. This pupillary artefact is investigated for binocular vergence accuracy (i.e., fixation disparity) in near vision where the...
Vergence eye movement recordings in response to disparity step stimuli require to present different stimuli to the two eyes. The traditional method is a mirror stereoscope. Shutter glasses are more convenient, but have disadvantages as limited repeti...
In this study, we propose two methods for representing virtual transparent objects convincingly on an optical see-through head-mounted display without the use of an attenuation function or shielding environmental light. The first method represents th...
This paper presents an architecture for computing vector disparity for active vision systems as used on robotics applications. The control of the vergence angle of a binocular system allows us to efficiently explore dynamic environments, but requires...
Depth estimation is a classical problem in computer vision, which typically relies on either a depth sensor or stereo matching alone. The depth sensor provides real-time estimates in repetitive and textureless regions where stereo matching is not eff...
After almost thirty years’ efforts on studying transient luminous events (TLEs), ground-based observation has confirmed the TLE family, including elves, halos, sprites, and blue jets, etc. The typical elve has the shortest emission time (<1 ms) in...
The human visual system (HVS), affected by viewing distance when perceiving the stereo image information, is of great significance to study of stereoscopic image quality assessment. Many methods of stereoscopic image quality assessment do not have co...
Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of cancer mortality among women in Ethiopia. Overall, women of African ancestry have the highest death toll due to BC compared to other racial/ethnic groups. The cause of the disparity in mortality is unclear....
Galactic mass consistent with luminous mass is obtained by fitting rotation curves (RC = tangential velocities vs. equatorial radius r) using Newtonian force models, or can be unambiguously calculated from RC data using a model based on spin. In cont...
There are a number of devastating complications associated with peripheral artery disease, including limb amputations and acute limb ischemia. Despite the overlap, atherosclerotic diseases have distinct causes that need to be differentiated and manag...
Infrared and visible image fusion, as a pivotal image processing technique, aims to integrate complementary information from heterogeneous source images into a high-quality fused representation. However, the intrinsic domain discrepancy between infra...
The binocular viewing of a fronto-parallel pendulum with a reduced luminance in one eye results in the illusory tridimensional percept of the pendulum following an elliptical orbit in depth, the so-called Pulfrich phenomenon. A small percentage of mi...
In low-light environments, light field (LF) images are often affected by various degradation factors, which impair the performance of subsequent visual tasks such as depth estimation. To address these challenges, although numerous light-field low-lig...
Obesity is an established risk factor for breast cancer (BC), and leptin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, may link obesity to tumor progression. However, the role of leptin in the molecular heterogeneity of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), particu...
The majority of published findings on chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia (FN) are restricted to three ethnic groups: Asians, Caucasians, and African Americans. In this two-part study, we examined FN incidence and risk factors in Chinese, Malay,...
Bird-dropping fouling and hotspot anomalies remain the most prevalent and detrimental defects in utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants; their co-occurrence on a single module markedly curbs energy yield and accelerates irreversible cell degradation....
Building lighting has a significant impact on occupant health and well-being, energy efficiency, spatial perception, and visual comfort. Many current building lighting systems, however, continue to be insufficiently responsive to changing environment...
