Parallaxes as Means of Organizing Memory in Travel Narratives of Patrick Leigh Fermor and Ryszard Kapuściński

open access: yesCrossroads, 2016
This paper offers a comparative analysis of travel narratives of two key contemporary writers: Patrick Leigh Fermor and Ryszard Kapuściński. Fermor’s A Time of Gifts: On Foot to Constantinople; From the Hook of Holland to the Middle Danube (1977 ...

Light Field Denoising via Anisotropic Parallax Analysis in a CNN Framework

open access: yes, 2018
Light field (LF) cameras provide perspective information of scenes by taking directional measurements of the focusing light rays. The raw outputs are usually dark with additive camera noise, which impedes subsequent processing and applications.

Enhancement of glossiness perception by retinal-image motion: additional effect of head-yoked motion parallax.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
It has been argued that when an observer moves, a contingent retinal-image motion of a stimulus would strengthen the perceived glossiness. This would be attributed to the veridical perception of three-dimensional structure by motion parallax. However, it

Seeing Earth's Orbit in the Stars: Parallax and Aberration

open access: yes, 2012
During the 17th century the idea of an orbiting and rotating Earth became increasingly popular, but opponents of this view continued to point out that the theory had observable consequences that had never, in fact, been observed.

Parallax and Distance Estimates for Twelve Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We report parallax and distance estimates for twelve more cataclysmic binaries and related objects observed with the 2.4m Hiltner telescope at MDM Observatory. The final parallax accuracy is typically about 1 mas.

Complete Parallax and Proper Motion Solutions For Halo Binary-Lens Microlensing Events [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A major problem in the interpretation of microlensing events is that the only measured quantity, the Einstein time scale t_E, is a degenerate combination of the three quantities one would like to know, the mass, distance, and speed of the lens.

Joint 3D-Wind Retrievals with Stereoscopic Views from MODIS and GOES

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs), derived by tracking patterns, represent the winds in a layer characteristic of the pattern. AMV height (or pressure), important for applications in atmospheric research and operational meteorology, is usually assigned ...

Computational Models of Multisensory Integration with Recurrent Neural Networks: A Critical Review and Future Directions

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review outlines how recurrent neural networks model multisensory integration by capturing temporal and probabilistic features of sensory input. Key developments, challenges, and future directions are summarized, providing insights into biologically inspired AI. Multisensory integration (MSI) is a core brain function underlying perception, learning,

An application of Galactic parallax: the distance to the tidal stream GD-1

open access: yes, 2009
We assess the practicality of computing the distance to stellar streams in our Galaxy, using the method of Galactic parallax suggested by Eyre & Binney (2009).
