High Dynamic Range Image Reconstruction via Deep Explicit Polynomial Curve Estimation [PDF]
, 2023 Due to limited camera capacities, digital images usually have a narrower dynamic illumination range than real-world scene radiance. To resolve this problem, High Dynamic Range (HDR) reconstruction is proposed to recover the dynamic range to better represent real-world scenes.

Effects of Tonal Coarticulation and Prosodic Positions on Tonal Contours of Low Rising Tones: In the Case of Xiamen Dialect [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Few studies have worked on the effects of tonal coarticulation and prosodic positions on the low rising tone in Xiamen Dialect. This study addressed such an issue. To do so, a new method, the Tonal Contour Analysis in Tonal Triangle, was proposed to measure the subtle curvature of the tonal contour.

Discrimination of low-frequency tones employs temporal fine structure [PDF]
PLoS ONE 7, e45579 (2012), 2012 An auditory neuron can preserve the temporal fine structure of a low-frequency tone by phase-locking its response to the stimulus. Apart from sound localization, however, little is known about the role of this temporal information for signal processing in the brain.
