Real-time foveation filtering using nonlinear Mipmap interpolation

In recent years, several techniques have been proposed to simulate the gaze effect of the Human Visual System (HVS). It is believed that this effect is due to the foveation filtering. Current techniques to simulate the foveation filtering in computer graphics are either slow or suffer from artifacts and limitations. In this paper, we present a new approach of foveation filtering based on the Mipmap Pyramid of the current view by considering the relationship between the Gaussian kernel and Mipmap level. Due to the nonlinear Mipmap interpolation under the Bilateral Filtering scheme, we are able to simulate the foveation filtering more naturally and efficiently than in previous work. Moreover, a detail enhancement method based on the Cornsweet illusion is proposed to augment the gazing effect. We demonstrate our new approach with a variety of examples and provide comparisons with recent approaches.     

Moving People Segmentation from Zoomed Dynamic Scenes Containing a Door

The challenge of segmenting the moving object is harder when the background is dynamic and the camera used can change its zoom dynamically. Here, in this paper, we propose a method to detect and segment moving object from a dynamic background, which contains moving multiple-leaf doors. In addition, the proposed algorithm also takes care of dynamic zoom changes that can occur while shooting a scene. The proposed method uses background-rebuilding with discrete door’s position to tackle moving multiple-leaf door backgrounds and image feature comparison to tackle changes in zoom. The experiment results show satisfying segmentation results with high processing speed.     

Will the experience of playing a violent role in a video game influence people’s judgments of violent crimes?

The present study investigates the impact of the experience of role playing a violent character in a video game on attitudes towards violent crimes and criminals. People who played the violent game were found to be more acceptable of crimes and criminals compared to people who did not play the violent game. More importantly, interaction effects were found such that people were more acceptable of crimes and criminals outside the game if the criminals were matched with the role they played in the game and the criminal actions were similar to the activities they perpetrated during the game. The results indicate that people’s virtual experience through role-playing games can influence their attitudes and judgments of similar real-life crimes, especially if the crimes are similar to what they conducted while playing games. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

针对传统的二线制表头在高温下测量精度差、温漂大的特点,提出了一种在高温下的高精度数显表头的设计方案。分别介绍了其软硬件的实现方法,即采用超低功耗微处理器MSP430F4250采集回路中的电流值,采用24位ADC转换器ADS1244进行模数转换,最后将经过运算的变送器输出信号值在LED数码管中加以显示。实测结果证明,该表头在高温下测量精度高、工作可靠、抗干扰性强、实用性强,势必会成为无源二线制仪表的发展方向。     

Representation of functional micro-knowledge cell (FMKC) for conceptual design

The conceptual design process of a complex product concerns multidisciplinary design knowledge. This paper presents an approach of consistent knowledge representation for conceptual design. Firstly, the concept of functional micro-knowledge cell (FMKC) is presented, and the knowledge representation approach of FMKC is proposed. In the function layer, the functional ontology is used to provide a rich vocabulary. By constructing the mapping relationships between the function and structure layer, a systematic knowledge representation scheme is obtained. Secondly, the functional knowledge decomposition theory is proposed to unify the resolution of knowledge representation. Finally, the FMKC is applied to a hydraulic cylinder, which demonstrates the possibility in representing the multidisciplinary knowledge for conceptual design with a unified systematic representation scheme. In addition, the FMKC can be used in knowledge fusion and design reuse for our further study.
