Matching people across multiple camera views known as person re-identification, is a challenging problem due to the change in visual appearance caused by varying lighting conditions. The perceived color of the subject appears to be…
Extended reality technology has become a useful tool in many applications, but still suffers from visual deviations that can hamper the utility of the technology. This paper discusses the types of persisting visual deviations experienced…
The human eye appears to be using a low number of sensors for image capturing. Furthermore, regarding the physical dimensions of cones-photoreceptors responsible for the sharp central vision-, we may realize that these sensors are of a…
Symmetry contributes to processes of perceptual organization in biological vision and influences the quality and time of goal directed decision making in animals and humans, as discussed in recent work on the examples of symmetry of things…
Observation is an essential tool for understanding and studying human behavior and mental states. However, coding human behavior is a time-consuming, expensive task, in which reliability can be difficult to achieve and bias is a risk.…
Observational studies provide invaluable opportunities to draw causal inference, but they may suffer from biases due to pretreatment difference between treated and control units. Matching is a popular approach to reduce observed covariate…
Knowing who is in one's vicinity is key to managing privacy in everyday environments, but is challenging for people with visual impairments. Wearable cameras and other sensors may be able to detect such information, but how should this…
Image color harmonization algorithm aims to automatically match the color distribution of foreground and background images captured in different conditions. Previous deep learning based models neglect two issues that are critical for…
Since camera modules become more and more affordable, multispectral camera arrays have found their way from special applications to the mass market, e.g., in automotive systems, smartphones, or drones. Due to multiple modalities, the…
Most commercially available optical see-through head-mounted displays (OST-HMDs) utilize optical combiners to simultaneously visualize the physical background and virtual objects. The displayed images perceived by users are a blend of…
Providing haptic feedback via smartphone touch screen may potentially offer blind people a capability to understand graphs. This study investigated the discrimination performance of haptic gratings in different frequencies, in both visually…
We propose an explainable model to generate semantic color labels for person search. In this context, persons are described from their semantic parts, such as hat, shirt, etc. Person search consists in looking for people based on these…
Deriving atmospheric parameters of a large sample of stars is of vital importance to understand the formation and evolution of the Milky Way. Photometric surveys, especially those with near-ultraviolet filters, can offer accurate…
In the film industry, the same movie is expected to be watched on displays of vastly different sizes, from cinema screens to mobile phones. But visual induction, the perceptual phenomenon by which the appearance of a scene region is…
In this paper, we analyze some of our real-world deployment of face recognition (FR) systems for various applications and discuss the gaps between expectations of the user and what the system can deliver. We evaluate some of our proposed…
Inside all smart devices, such as smartphones or smartwatches, there are thermally sensitive resistors known as thermistors which are used to monitor the temperature of the device. These thermistors are sensitive to temperature changes near…
Adjusting for an unmeasured confounder is generally an intractable problem, but in the spatial setting it may be possible under certain conditions. In this paper, we derive necessary conditions on the coherence between the treatment…
Publications in astrophysics are nowadays mainly published and read in digitized formats. Astrophysical publications in both research and in popular outreach often use colorful representations of stars to indicate various stellar types,…
This paper presents a novel approach to visual tracking: Similarity Matching Ratio (SMR). The traditional approach of tracking is minimizing some measures of the difference between the template and a patch from the frame. This approach is…
Variable frame timing (VFT), or changes in the time intervals between discrete frame images displayed to users, deviates from our traditional conceptualization of frame rate in which all frame times are equal. With the advent of variable…
