While sometimes this is an appropriate choice, careful consideration of the implications of color scale selection can often result in a more effective visualization. Factors which should be considered include the characteristics of the data, the questions of interest about the data, and the expected viewers of the representation.","PeriodicalId":354140,"journal":{"name":"Applied Imaging Pattern Recognition","volume":"219 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131732688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Success of these techniques depends on how easy and inexpensive it is to develop a new type of web content that provides pseudo 3D visualization at home, 24-hours a day. Furthermore, the acceptance of this new visualization medium depends on the effectiveness of the familiarization tools by a segment of the population that was never exposed to this type of visualization. This paper addresses various hardware and software solutions available to collect, produce, and view panoramic content. While cost and effectiveness of building the content is being addressed using a few commercial hardware solutions, effectiveness of familiarization tools is evaluated using a few sample data sets.","PeriodicalId":354140,"journal":{"name":"Applied Imaging Pattern Recognition","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125594740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Performance characterization of vision algorithms","authors":"R. Haralick, Visvanathan Ramesh","doi":"10.1117/12.47987","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1117/12.47987","url":null,"abstract":"In order to design vision systems which work, a sound engineering methodology must be utilized. In the systems engineering approach, a complex system is divided into simple subsystems and from the input/output characteristics of each subsystem, the input/output characteristics of the total system can be determined. Machine vision systems are complex, and they are composed of different algorithms applied in sequence. Determination of the performance of a total machine vision system is possible if the performance of each of the subpieces, i.e. the algorithms, is given. The problem, however, is that for most algorithms, there is no performance characterization which has been established and published in the research literature. Performance characterization has to do with establishing the correspondence of the random variations and imperfections which the algorithm produces on the output data caused by the random variations and imperfections of the input data. This paper illustrates how random perturbation models and propagation of random errors can be set up for a vision algorithm involving edge detection, edge linking, arc segmentation, and line fitting. The paper also discusses important dimensions that must be included in the performance characterization of any vision module performing a parametric estimation such as object pose, curve fit, or edge orientation estimation. Finally, we outline a general parametric model having three components: a relational model; a noise model; and a computational estimation model.","PeriodicalId":354140,"journal":{"name":"Applied Imaging Pattern Recognition","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126559880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
