Full-Dimensional Imaging and Camera Intelligence

video/mp4An ordinary camera captures the real 3D scene as a projected 2D image with three channels. During this projection process, some scene information gets lost such as depth and surface normal, and some information gets compressed such as resolution and dynamic range. This presentation answers the questions what information has been lost and how to get them back by introducing the full-dimensional imaging framework. The lost and compressed information is restored as additional channels of a generalized image, e.g., a high-quality depth map with as high resolution as the 2D image, with state of the art computer vision algorithms, computational photography techniques, and novel camera prototyping. The concept of camera intelligence is then introduced to inspire the future research that complements artificial intelligence with camera design for solving visual computing problems that can never be solved using a conventional camera.講演者所属: 産業技術総合研究所講演日: 平成28年10月31日講演場所: 情報科学研究科大講義室L1vide

This ratio conveniently turned out to be the most effective at controlling for all types of variances. Like figures 6 and 7, ranges for three different concentrations of serum are shown, and it is possible to see how ratios cluster closer together as concentration of serum goes down. Compare with figures 6 and 7

Data_Sheet_1_Lane and Heat Draw Have Little Effect on Placings and Progression in Olympic and IAAF World Championship 800 m Running.xlsx

The aim of this study was to establish whether the lane and heat draw influenced placings and progression in world-class 800-m track running. Finishing positions and times of 1,086 performances at the Olympic Games and IAAF World Championships between 1999 and 2017 were obtained. Mean finishing and season's best times (SB), as well as placings and progression rates, were found for each heat number and for the inner (Lanes 1 and 2), middle (Lanes 3–6), and outer lanes (Lanes 7 and 8). In the qualifying heats and semi-finals, the theoretically expected number of fastest losers (non-automatic qualifiers) per heat was compared with the actual number. One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc tests were conducted to compare finishing times between lane and heat numbers across rounds. With regard to the order of heats, there were no differences between finishing times in either the qualifying heats or semi-final rounds for men; in the women's event, only Semi-final 3 was the quickest, but still did not have higher progression rates. SB times did not differ between heats within each round, highlighting the fair distribution of athletes. Progression rates for each lane during the qualifying heats ranged between 36 and 52% (men) and between 49 and 61% (women), close to the expected ranges of 45 and 55%, respectively. The middle lanes were quicker in the seeded semi-finals and finals only. Men in the outer lanes fared slightly worse and should focus on achieving the optimal tactical position after breaking from lanes. The IAAF could reconsider how they allocate seeded lanes in the later rounds by switching the fifth and sixth fastest athletes from the outer to the inner lanes. Regarding the heat draw, athletes mostly did not take advantage of knowing previous performances from earlier races, and probably focused on achieving an automatic qualifying position instead. However, the fastest losers in the women's last semi-final were faster and showed that benefitting from the heat draw is possible with tactical coaching.</p

Table_1_Risk Taking Runners Slow More in the Marathon.DOCX

Much research has explored the physiological, energetic, environmental, and psychological factors that influence pacing in endurance events. Although this research has generally neglected the role of psychological variation across individuals, recent studies have hinted at its importance. Here we conducted an online survey of over 1,300 marathon runners, testing whether any of five psychological constructs – competitiveness, goal achievement, risk taking in pace (RTP), domain-specific risk taking, and willingness to suffer in the marathon – predicted slowing in runners’ most recent marathons. Analyses revealed that RTP – the extent to which runners agreed that they began the marathon at a pace that was so fast that it would jeopardize their capacity to maintain this pace throughout the event – was a robust predictor of marathon slowing. RTP proved a substantial predictor even in regression models controlling for the other psychological constructs, training, experience, and other known pacing correlates. This result suggests that marathoners consider trade-offs when making pacing decisions, and that individuals vary in their pacing decision making.</p

Assessment of the quality and readability of online information on autopsy for the general public: a cross-sectional analysis

Objectives: Hospital (consented) autopsy rates have dropped precipitously in recent decades. Online medical information is now a common resource used by the general public. Given clinician reluctance to request hospital postmortem examinations, we assessed whether healthcare users have access to high quality, readable autopsy information online. Design: A cross-sectional analysis of 400 webpages. Readability was determined using the Flesch-Kincaid score, grade level and Coleman-Liau Index. Authorship, DISCERN score and Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria were applied by two independent observers. Health on the net code of conduct (HON-code) certification was also assessed. Sixty-five webpages were included in the final analysis. Results: The overall quality was poor (mean DISCERN=38.1/80, 28.8% did not fulfil a single JAMA criterion and only 10.6% were HON-code certified). Quality scores were significantly different across author types, with scientific and health-portal websites scoring highest by DISCERN (analysis of variance (ANOVA), F=5.447, pJAMA (Kruskal-Wallis, pJAMA (Mann-Whitney U, p Conclusions: Although there were occasional high quality web articles containing autopsy information, these were diluted by irrelevant and low quality sites, set at an inappropriately high reading level. Given the paucity of high quality articles, healthcare providers should familiarise themselves with the best resources and direct the public accordingly.</p

Properties and Structure of Alkaline Earth Germanate Glasses

application/pdfThe density, thermal expansion and transition and softening temperatures of alkaline earth germanate glasses of the system MO-GeO2, where M is Ca, Sr and Ba, were measured. Addition of 3 mol% Al2O3 made it possible to form glasses without crystallization on cooling the melt. The so called germanate anomaly was observed on the property-composition curves. Coordination of Ge4+ ions in those glasses was discussed on the basis of molar volumes and infrared absorption spectra and compared with that in alkali germanate glasses of the system R2O-GeO2, where R is Li, Na and K. Addition of Al2O3 did not essentially affect the coordination of Ge4+ ions. The concentration of 6-fold coordinated Ge4+ ions N6 of MO-GeO2 glasses changed with the MO content X, following the formula N6=X/(100-X) as in R2O-GeO2 glasses. The maximum N6 of about 20% was attained in the glass containing about 25 mol% MO in the MO-GeO2 system, while the maximum N6 was situated at 15-20 mol% R2O in R2O-GeO2 glasses.departmental bulletin pape
