Improving Depth Computation From Robust Focus Approximation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Shape-from-focus (SFF) technique is to recover three-dimensional shape of an object from a sequence of two-dimensional images of the same object taken by gradually changing the focus settings of the imaging device. In SFF, for each pixel location (i, j),

Loss network representation of Peierls contours [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We present a probabilistic approach for the study of systems with exclusions, in the regime traditionally studied via cluster-expansion methods. In this paper we focus on its application for the gases of Peierls contours found in the study of the Ising ...

Developing a stoma acceptance questionnaire to improve motivation to adhere to enterostoma self-care [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
IntroductionIn stoma care, patient education is often weak in terms of improving patientsâ level of acceptance of living with a stoma. Self-care educational interventions in enterostomal patients, which according to Oremâs Theory should take into account

Robust Automatic Focus Algorithm for Low Contrast Images Using a New Contrast Measure

open access: yesSensors, 2011
Low contrast images, suffering from a lack of sharpness, are easily influenced by noise. As a result, many local false peaks may be generated in contrast measurements, making it difficult for the camera’s passive auto-focus system to perform its function

Stellar systems following the R^1/m luminosity law, IV : the total energy and the central concentration of galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We expand our previous analytical and numerical studies of the family of Sérsic models, which are routinely used to describe early-type galaxies and the bulges of spiral galaxies. In particular, we focus on the total energy budget, an important dynamical

Multi-Focus Image Fusion With Point Detection Filter and Superpixel-Based Consistency Verification

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
An accurate and efficient measurement of pixel's sharpness is a critical factor in most multi-focus image fusion methods. In our practice, we found that the focused regions get more blurred than the defocus regions when the multi-focus images are blurred

Self-Assessed Time Span of Focused Attention During a Breath Focus Test Task as a Measure of Mindfulness: A Preliminary Evaluation

open access: yesJournal of Lumbini Medical College, 2022
Introduction: An easy task-based measure of mindfulness that can be self-administered in a daily life setting is still not available. We aimed to perform a preliminary evaluation of the Breath Focus Test Task to measure mindfulness.
