The Parallax Zero-point of Gaia Early Data Release 3 from LAMOST Primary Red Clump Stars [PDF]
We present an independent examination of the parallax zero-point of the Third Gaia Early Data Release (hereafter EDR3), using the LAMOST primary red clump (PRC) stellar sample. A median parallax offset of around 26 μas, slightly larger than that found by

Holographic Parallax Improves 3D Perceptual Realism [PDF]
Holographic near-eye displays are a promising technology to solve long-standing challenges in virtual and augmented reality display systems. Over the last few years, many different computer-generated holography (CGH) algorithms have been proposed that ...

Distances and parallax bias in Gaia DR2 [PDF]
We derive Bayesian distances for all stars in the radial velocity sample of Gaia DR2, and use the statistical method of Schönrich, Binney & Asplund to validate the distances and test the Gaia parallaxes.

Parallax Theology: Reframing Compensation Theodicy
The reality of suffering and the existence of natural and moral evils appear to present significant obstacles to the doctrine of God’s omnipotence, omniscience, and omnibenevolence. Theodicy is an attempt to resolve the problem of evil.

A CURRENT APPLICATION OF THE METHODS OF SECULAR AND STATISTICAL PARALLAX
The methods of secular and statistical parallax for homogeneous groups of Galactic stars are applied in a practical (classroom) exercise to establish the luminosity of bright B3 V stars. The solar motion of 20 km s-1 relative to group stars exceeds their

Narcissus and the Moon: Parallax in Early Modern Images
This essay develops a comprehensive approach to the study of parallax effects in early modern images, with critical emphasis on painting. Parallax is the apparent displacement of an object relative to a given background, as caused by the movement of the ...

Parallax-Robust Surveillance Video Stitching
This paper presents a parallax-robust video stitching technique for timely synchronized surveillance video. An efficient two-stage video stitching procedure is proposed in this paper to build wide Field-of-View (FOV) videos for surveillance applications.
