Performance Histogram Curve: Abstractive Visualization and Analysis of NBA Games

NBA game is one of the world’s most exciting sports. Multiple datasets for a NBA game are available, e.g., play-by-play data, shot-position data, twitter and videos. Existing methods for visualizing game data commonly focus on the composition of multi-variate information of a game process. In this paper, we introduce a new parametric modeling approach, Performance Histogram Curve (PHC), that locally and adaptively encodes the game progression with game-related features derived from the play-by-play data. By transforming a PHC into the two-dimensional space with a two-phase projection technique, we create a unique 2D line representation. The 2D representation and auxiliary views abstracts the progress of a game and the performance of each team along the timeline. Our integrated system favor browsing a single play, analyzing game performance, and comparing multiple games. We conducted two case studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

A comparison of atomic force microscope friction and phase imaging for the characterization of an immiscible polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) blend film

Three different forms of atomic force microscope (AFM) measurement, topography, friction force and phase imaging, have been used to investigate the surface morphology and local composition of an immiscible polystyrene (PS)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blend film. This sample forms discrete, micron-size domains in a continuous matrix, which is attributed to the segregation of PMMA in PS. When the samples were imaged in air, contrast in friction and phase images was caused by variations in sample topography only. When the samples were imaged under water, however, both friction and phase imaging yielded non-topographic contrast between domains. We ascribe the contrast in both of these imaging modes to preferential softening of the hydrophilic, PMMA-rich domains and to stronger tip-sample adhesive forces, highlighting the AFM's utility for probing local elastic properties and for compositional mapping of soft polymer samples.     

Multi-Wavelength vs. Binary Code Pattern Unwrapping in Fringe Projection Method

Phase extraction, phase unwrapping and phase to height conversion are consecutive steps within the fringe projection method for reconstruction of 3D objects. The procedure of determining discontinuities on the wrapped phase, resolving them and achieving the unwrapped phase is called phase unwrapping. A software system was developed that provides the ability to create many kinds of patterns with a verity of desirable properties suitable for different demands in fringe projection systems. In our previous work, an experimental study was reported based on a multi-wavelength unwrapping approach. In the following work, we implemented a new method called binary code pattern unwrapping that is based on time analysis. A comparison of the two unwrapping approaches in terms of resolution, quality, noise, depth accuracy, and computational cost is provided.
