We present five studies investigating the predictive validity of thin slices of nonverbal behavior (NVB). Predictive validity of thin slices refers to how well behavior slices excerpted from longer video predict other measured variables. Using six NVBs, we ...
In the Dial-a-Ride-Problem (DARP) a fleet of vehicles provides shared-ride services to users specifying their origin, destination, and preferred arrival time. Typically, the problem consists of finding minimum cost routes, satisfying operational constraint ...
While several research studies have focused on analyzing human behavior and, in particular, emotional signals from visual data, the problem of synthesizing face video sequences with specific attributes (e.g. age, facial expressions) received much less atte ...
The cameras are invented by imitating the human visual system to capture the scene. The camera
technologies have been substantially advanced in recent years. 108 MP resolution with 100x hybrid
zoom has become standard features for smartphone flagships. In ...
Artists often take advantage of the limitations of the human visual system to create art that provides new experiences for the observers. Similarly, in this thesis, we explore new computational artistic compositions that create new visual experiences by re ...
Modern envelope glazing relies on nanoscale coatings to meet a range of specific needs. Low emissivity coatings can improve the thermal performance of glazing thanks to a thin metallic film. However, the conductive nature of this layer leads to an attenuat ...
We present a method for hiding images in synthetic videos and reveal them by temporal averaging. We developed a visual masking method that hides the input image both spatially and temporally. Our masking approach consists of temporal and spatial pixel by p ...
