Gravity as a Reference for Estimating a Person's Height from Video

Pascal Fua, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Semih Günel, Didier Bieler

Estimating the metric height of a person from monocular imagery without additional assumptions is ill-posed. Existing solutions either require manual calibration of ground plane and camera geometry, special cameras, or reference objects of known size. We f ...

Vestibular modulation of peripersonal space boundaries

Olaf Blanke, Christian Pfeiffer, Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel

Human-environment interactions are mediated through the body and occur within the peripersonal space (PPS), the space immediately adjacent to and surrounding the body. The PPS is taken to be a critical interface between the body and the environment, and in ...

Effect of damping models on the simulation of seismic axial forces in a reinforced concrete bridge pier

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Manuel Jordan

Post-reconnaissance findings after recent earthquakes have shown that the effect of the vertical acceleration component of the ground motion can be more damaging than typically considered thus far, particularly in near-field regions where the ratio of vert ...

A computational model for reference-frame synthesis with applications to motion perception

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

As discovered by the Gestaltists, in particular by Duncker, we often perceive motion to be within a non-retinotopic reference frame. For example, the motion of a reflector on a bicycle appears to be circular, whereas, it traces out a cycloidal path with re ...

The effective reference frame in perceptual judgments of motion direction

Michael Herzog

The retinotopic projection of stimulus motion depends both on the motion of the stimulus and the movements of the observer. In this study, we aimed to quantify the contributions of endogenous (retinotopic) and exogenous (spatiotopic and motion-based) refer ...

Wavelet Statistics of Sparse and Self-Similar Images

Michaël Unser, Emrah Bostan, Julien René Pierre Fageot

It is well documented that natural images are compressible in wavelet bases and tend to exhibit fractal properties. In this paper, we investigate statistical models that mimic these behaviors. We then use our models to make predictions on the statistics of ...

Field-like interactions between motion-based reference frames

Michael Herzog

A reference frame is required to specify how motion is perceived. For example, the motion of part of an object is usually perceived relative to the motion of the object itself. Johansson (Psychological Research, 38, 379-393, 1976) proposed that the percept ...

Parallel imaging with phase scrambling

Rolf Gruetter, Daniel Gallichan

PURPOSE: Most existing methods for accelerated parallel imaging in MRI require additional data, which are used to derive information about the sensitivity profile of each radiofrequency (RF) channel. In this work, a method is presented to avoid the acquisi ...

Geodesic distance for right invariant Sobolev metrics of fractional order on the diffeomorphism group. II

Martins Bruveris, Martin Bauer

The geodesic distance vanishes on the group of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry, for the right invariant weak Riemannian metric which is induced by the Sobolev metric of order on the Lie algebra of vector fie ...

Local and Global Eulerian Gyrokinetic Simulations of Microturbulence in Realistic Geometry with Applications to the TCV Tokamak

Xavier Lapillonne

In magnetically confined fusion devices, the energy and particle transport is significantly larger than expected from purely collisional processes. This degraded confinement mostly results from small-scale turbulence and prevents from reaching self-sustain ...
