Liquid crystal goggles for vision science applications
2003
Spectral and switching characteristics of two manufacturer liquid crystal goggles are tested, and a contrast ratio for the computer display phosphors wavelengths is determined. Goggles are used in vision science experiments for random dot stereo stimuli phase separation. The human stereovision acuity and threshold was studied for case, when one eye random dot stereo stimulus simulated on the display is cotinuously blurred or the stimulus contrast is decreased.
Ridge-line optimal detector
2000
Image processing techniques have seen many developments in recent years. Starting from the pioneering work of Canny, Deriche developed a second order recursive filter capable of detecting stepped contours. However, there are other contour shapes that those filters struggle to detect. We describe a new optimal filter sensu Canny for detecting ridge-line contours. This is a third order recursive and even filter. It is dependent on three parameters by which detection accuracy is adjusted. The results obtained by applying this filter to (possibly noise- affected) images are compared with those in the work by Ziou. © 2000 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Compact all-diffractive setup for spectral synthesis with non-uniform illumination
2009
Optical filters based on diffractive optical elements (DOE) have received increased attention since the development of the first synthetic spectrum as a tool for correlation spectroscopy [1]. The production of a synthetic spectrum requires the design of a DOE that transforms the spectrum associated with the incident light into the spectrum of interest. Based on this procedure, several approaches have been reported in the literature [1–4]. In general, these configurations employ angular dispersion elements for spectrum tailoring, so they are restricted to working off-axis, and most of them need an extra focusing refractive lens.
A low-level spectrometer with a planar low-energy HPGe: shielding arrangement tests and system performance for 210Pb determination in air filter samp…
2001
A system for low-energy photon spectrometry using a planar germanium detector with appropriate specifications is presented. A spectrometric background investigation has been carried out with various detector shielding arrangements. The characteristics of the system for measurements of 210Pb in air-particulate matter on filters have been determined.
Cylindrical metal-coated optical fibre devices for filters and sensors
1996
Novel fibre-optic components suitable for sensor applications and wavelength filters are reported. The devices consist of a tapered fibre whose uniform waist has been coated with a thin layer of gold. The operation principle is the resonant excitation of a surface plasma mode of the metal film.
New novel idea for Cloud Computing: How can we use Kalman filter in security of Cloud Computing
2012
Cloud is a virtual image about some amount of undefined powers, that is widespread and had unknown power and inexact amount of hardware and software configurations, and because of we have not any information about clouds location and time dimensions and also the amounts of its sources we tell that Cloud Computing. This technology presents lots of abilities and opportunities such as processing power, storage and accessing it from everywhere, supporting, working - team group - with the latest versions of software and etc., by the means of internet. On the other hand, in such a large scale networks we should consider the reliability and powerfulness of such networks in facing with events such …
Real And Positive Filter Based On Circular Harmonic Expansion
1989
A real and positive filter for pattern recognition is presented. The filter, based on the circular harmonic (CH) expansion of a real function, is partially rotation invariant. As it is real and positive, the filter can be recorded on a transparency as an amplitude filter. Computer simulations of character recognition show a partial rotation invariance of about 40°. Optical experiments agree with these results and with acceptable discrimination between different characters. Nevertheless, due to experimental difficulties, the method is onerous for use in general pattern recognition problems.
The data acquisition system for the ANTARES neutrino telescope
2006
The ANTARES neutrino telescope is being constructed in the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of a large three-dimensional array of photo-multiplier tubes. The data acquisition system of the detector takes care of the digitisation of the photo-multiplier tube signals, data transport, data filtering, and data storage. The detector is operated using a control program interfaced with all elements. The design and the implementation of the data acquisition system are described.
A Motzkin filter in the Tamari lattice
2015
The Tamari lattice of order n can be defined on the set T n of binary trees endowed with the partial order relation induced by the well-known rotation transformation. In this paper, we restrict our attention to the subset M n of Motzkin trees. This set appears as a filter of the Tamari lattice. We prove that its diameter is 2 n - 5 and that its radius is n - 2 . Enumeration results are given for join and meet irreducible elements, minimal elements and coverings. The set M n endowed with an order relation based on a restricted rotation is then isomorphic to a ranked join-semilattice recently defined in Baril and Pallo (2014). As a consequence, we deduce an upper bound for the rotation distan…
On the importance of background subtraction in the analysis of coronal loops observed with TRACE
2010
In the framework of TRACE coronal observations, we compare the analysis and diagnostics of a loop after subtracting the background with two different and independent methods. The dataset includes sequences of images in the 171 A, 195 A filter bands of TRACE. One background subtraction method consists in taking as background values those obtained from interpolation between concentric strips around the analyzed loop. The other method is a pixel-to-pixel subtraction of the final image when the loop had completely faded out, already used by Reale & Ciaravella 2006. We compare the emission distributions along the loop obtained with the two methods and find that they are considerably differen…
