Use of the software ‘Poser4’ in reconstruction of accident and crime scenes
2000
The reconstruction of accident and crime scenes demands the full attention of the forensic working physician. Description by words is often difficult and liable to be misunderstood. Reconstruction in the original places of events are expensive and in some cases impossible. Computer graphics and animations give the possibility to construct the original course of events. Poser4 is a software package to perform these reconstructions in an easy and vivid way. We investigated the possibilities of reconstructing an accident with this software.
Latent Semantic Description of Iconic Scenes
2005
It is proposed an approach for the automatic description of scenes using a LSA–like technique. The described scenes are composed by a set of elements that can be geometric forms or iconic representation of objects. Every icon is characterized by a set of attributes like shape, colour and position. Each scene is related to a set of sentences describing their content. The proposed approach builds a data driven vector semantic space where the scenes and the sentences are mapped. A new scene can be mapped in this created space accordingly to a suitable metric. Preliminary experimental results show the effectiveness of the procedure.
Forensic multidimesnional reconstruction as based on post-mortem image examination and spherical photography
2017
The aim of the paper is to present the methods of creating multi-dimensional reconstructions used in modern forensic medicine and state-of-the-art autopsy technique. Making use of the computer tomography technology and sophisticated software by the forensic pathologists allows a new standard of quality to be introduced into the forensic medical examination and hitherto unprecedented effects to be obtained. These developments significantly enhance the information available to the expert, particularly in case where an incident involved the use of firearms, the presence of foreign object in the body of the deceased, or advanced decay of the corps. Furthermore, the paper touches upon a subject …
Modulation of attention by socio-emotional scenes in children with autism spectrum disorder
2017
Background: Abnormal attentional processes to socially relevant information may underlie social impairment in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). To examine how these processes are modulated by the emotional salience of the stimuli, we studied the attentional biases to social scenes (happy, sad, and threatening) in ASD children. Method: An emotional dot-probe task was applied to children (from 6 to 12 years old) with Autism Spectrum Disorder without additional language and/or intellectual impairments (ASD; n=25) and age/sex-matched controls (n=25). Results: ASD children showed an attentional bias toward threatening scenes while typically developing children tended to direct their attention towa…
Parallel Adaptation to Spatially Distinct Distortions
2020
Optical distortions as a visual disturbance are inherent in many optical devices such as spectacles or virtual reality headsets. In such devices, distortions vary spatially across the visual field. In progressive addition lenses, for example, the left and right regions of the lens skew the peripheral parts of the wearers visual field in opposing directions. The human visual system adapts to homogeneous distortions and the respective aftereffects are transferred to non-retinotopic locations. This study investigates simultaneous adaptation to two opposing distortions at different retinotopic locations. Two oppositely skewed natural image sequences were presented to 10 subjects as adaptation s…
Production of (anti-)He-3 and (anti-)H-3 in p-Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
2020
The transverse momentum (p(T)) differential yields of (anti-)He-3 and (anti-)H-3 measured in p-Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented. The ratios of the p(T)-integrated yields of (anti-)He-3 and (anti-)H-3 to the proton yields are reported, as well as the pT dependence of the coalescence parameters B-3 for (anti-)He-3 and (anti-)H-3. For (anti-)He-3, the results obtained in four classes of the mean charged-particle multiplicity density are also discussed. These results are compared to predictions from a canonical statistical hadronization model and coalescence approaches. An upper limit on the total yield of (4)(He) over bar is determine…
Artificial faces predict gaze allocation in complex dynamic scenes
2019
Both low-level physical saliency and social information, as presented by human heads or bodies, are known to drive gaze behavior in free-viewing tasks. Researchers have previously made use of a great variety of face stimuli, ranging from photographs of real humans to schematic faces, frequently without systematically differentiating between the two. In the current study, we used a Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) approach to investigate to what extent schematic artificial faces can predict gaze when they are presented alone or in competition with real human faces. Relative differences in predictive power became apparent, while GLMMs suggest substantial effects for real and artificial f…
Reduction and solipsism : Husserl's method of reduction and solipsism critique presented against it
2017
Työssäni tutkin Hursserlin reduktion metodia, joka on hänen kehittämänsä suuntauksen, transsendentaalisen fenomenologian, tutkimusmenetelmä. Vastaan kysymykseen, viekö reduktion metodi välttämättä solipsismiin vai ei. Lähtökohtanani on reduktion metodia vastaan esitetty ulkoinen ja sisäinen solipsismi-kritiikki. Vastaan erityisesti Hubert L. Dreyfusin esittämään ulkoiseen kritiikkiin, jonka mukaan Husserlin transsendentaalis-fenomenologinen tutkimus ajautuu välttämättä tilanteeseen, jossa ei voida esittää objektiivisia väittämiä. Analysoin myös Husserl-tutkimuksen keskusteluissa esiintyvää sisäistä kritiikkiä, jonka mukaan reduktion metodi on ongelmallinen tutkittaessa yhteisöllisyyttä ja k…
Scene giudiziarie nelle tragedie e nelle commedie latine del XII e XIII secolo. 1. Il «Mathematicus» di Bernardo Silvestre e il «Milo» di Matteo di V…
2014
The latin “elegiac comedy” and the latin “tragedy” of XIIth and XIIIth centuries display a big and vari-ous richness of topics, themes, subjects and literary features: use of the elegiac couplets, ovidian imita-tion, meaning of love, incidence of dialogic and narrative sections, and so on. One of these topics is represented by the “scenes of trial by jury” which happen in some of the medieval comedies and trag-edies. This paper, after an introduction to the literary kind, is dedicated to the analysis of the “scenes of trial by jury” which we can find in two texts, a tragedy (Bernardus Silvestris’ Mathematicus) and a comedy (Matthew of Vendôme’s Milo).
Multispectral filter arrays: Recent advances and practical implementation
2014
Thanks to some technical progress in interferencefilter design based on different technologies, we can finally successfully implement the concept of multispectral filter array-based sensors. This article provides the relevant state-of-the-art for multispectral imaging systems and presents the characteristics of the elements of our multispectral sensor as a case study. The spectral characteristics are based on two different spatial arrangements that distribute eight different bandpass filters in the visible and near-infrared area of the spectrum. We demonstrate that the system is viable and evaluate its performance through sensor spectral simulation. Multispectral filter arrays: Recent advan…
