Balloon motion estimation using two frames
[1991] Conference Record of the Twenty-Fifth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems & Computers, 2002A computational vision approach is presented for the estimation of 2D translation, rotation, and scale from two partially overlapping images. An illuminant direction estimation method is first used to obtain an initial estimate of camera rotation. A small number of feature points are then located based on a Gabor wavelet model for detecting local ...

Seismic performance evaluation of self-centering balloon-framed CLT building
Engineering Structures, 2023Balloon-framed cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction has a number of advantages when compared to platform-type construction; however, many international standards only include provisions for the latter as there is little research reported on the seismic performance of the former.

Modern interest in the balloon frame dates from 1941 when Siegfried Giedion identified the inventor of this important technological innovation in wooden construction as George Snow of Chicago. According to Giedion, Snow used the technique for the first time in 1833 to build St. Mary's Church in Chicago.

La necessità di un metodo di costruzione plastico e modellabile fa sì che l’architettura contemporanea si fermi ai metodi tradizionali guardando di più alla loro flessibilità e malleabilità che alla loro efficienza. Il metodo tradizionale può essere sostituito in favore di metodi innovativi che siano efficienti nei confronti del progetto ...

Perspectives in Vernacular Architecture, 2000
Four major factors contributed to the origin of balloon frame construction in the midwestern United States from the 1830s through the 1890s. First, steam-powered saws milled standardized dimension lumber from an abundant supply of timber in the pineries of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota. Second, industries in the eastern states supplied kegs of cut

The role of framing effects in performance on the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART)
Personality and Individual Differences, 2007This study examined the impact of framing effects on performance in the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART). Seventy-two undergraduate participants were assigned to play the BART as either a gains task in which they had to pump up an animated balloon in order to win money (Group GBART) or as a losses task in which pumping up the balloon was necessary to ...

Seabees in Rota. Balloon frame in prefabricated housing in Spain in the 60s
2023The construct ion of military bases in Spain, used by Spanish and American soldiers, has brought an urgent necessity for housing to accommodate American soldiers who arrived in Spain with their families. In 1965, the US completely built 300 prefabricated houses in the USA which were then shipped to Spain and erected in Rota by the Navy ‘Seabees’, in ...
