Nagamatsu User Calibration Free Gaze Tracking With Estimation Of The Horizont...Kalle
This paper presents a user-calibration-free method for estimating the point of gaze (POG) on a display accurately with estimation of the horizontal angles between the visual and the optical axes of both eyes. By using one pair of cameras and two light sources, the
optical axis of the eye can be estimated. This estimation is carried
out by using a spherical model of the cornea. The point of intersection
of the optical axis of the eye with the display is termed POA.By detecting the POAs of both the eyes, the POG is approximately estimated as the midpoint of the line joining the POAs of both the eyes on the basis of the binocular eye model; therefore, we can estimate
the horizontal angles between the visual and the optical axes of both the eyes without requiring user calibration. We have developed
a prototype system based on this method using a 19 display with two pairs of stereo cameras. We evaluated the system experimentally with 20 subjects who were at a distance of 600 mm from the display. The result shows that the average of the root-meansquare error (RMSE) of measurement of POG in the display screen coordinate system is 16.55 mm (equivalent to less than 1.58◦).

Hardoon Image Ranking With Implicit Feedback From Eye MovementsKalle
In order to help users navigate an image search system, one could
provide explicit information on a small set of images as to which
of them are relevant or not to their task. These rankings are learned
in order to present a user with a new set of images that are relevant
to their task. Requiring such explicit information may not
be feasible in a number of cases, we consider the setting where
the user provides implicit feedback, eye movements, to assist when
performing such a task. This paper explores the idea of implicitly
incorporating eye movement features in an image ranking task
where only images are available during testing. Previous work had
demonstrated that combining eye movement and image features improved
on the retrieval accuracy when compared to using each of
the sources independently. Despite these encouraging results the
proposed approach is unrealistic as no eye movements will be presented
a-priori for new images (i.e. only after the ranked images are
presented would one be able to measure a user’s eye movements
on them). We propose a novel search methodology which combines
image features together with implicit feedback from users’
eye movements in a tensor ranking Support Vector Machine and
show that it is possible to extract the individual source-specific
weight vectors. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the decomposed
image weight vector is able to construct a new image-based semantic
space that outperforms the retrieval accuracy than when solely
using the image-features.
During World War II, Navajo men were recruited to create an unbreakable code using their native language. Philip Johnston, a World War I veteran, came up with the idea to use the complex Navajo language for military communications. Words for common terms were translated into Navajo code, which the Japanese were unable to decipher. The Navajo code talkers played a vital role in helping the U.S. communicate securely in the Pacific theater and are credited with saving many lives. After the war, the Navajo code talkers received medals in recognition of their brave and important service.
A model of visual saliency is often used to highlight interesting or perceptually significant features in an image. If a specific task is imposed upon the viewer, then the image features that disambiguate task-related objects from non-task-related locations should be incorporated into the saliency determination as top-down information. For this study, viewers were given the task of locating potentially cancerous lesions in synthetically-generated medical images. An ensemble of saliency maps was created to model the target versus error features that attract attention. For MRI images, lesions are most reliably modeled by luminance features and errors are mostly modeled by color features, depending upon the type of error (search, recognition, or decision). Other imaging modalities showed similar differences between the target and error features
that contribute to top-down saliency. This study provides evidence that image-derived saliency is task-dependent and may be used to predict target or error locations in complex images.

The document discusses developing an FPGA software development kit (SDK) for nanoscale architectures. It begins with an overview and context on emerging nanotechnologies and how CMOS is reaching its limits. It then discusses the NASIC fabric principles and routing problems at the nanoscale. The document outlines the R2D NASIC design flow using tools like PLAMap, VPR and the MADEO FPGA toolkit which are extended to model nanogrids and nanowires. Results show the R2D NASIC approach reduces area by up to 48x compared to standard cells and can achieve operating frequencies up to 167MHz.
The student measured and marked a piece of wood to create the body and arms of a crab. They drew the outline and started cutting straight lines with a saw. They had trouble with the arms but made them the same size and shape. Next, they finished cutting and used sanding tools to smooth the wood and shape the arms round. They will continue rounding edges and shaping the arms in future sessions.
Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide. It is often caused by smoking tobacco, which contains over 4,000 chemicals, including 43 known carcinogens. Smoking causes around 90% of lung cancer cases in men and 70% in women. Other potential causes include exposure to radon, asbestos, or other chemicals in the workplace. Surgery is a main treatment but can have severe side effects like pain, weakness, and breathing issues. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are also used but also cause side effects like nausea and hair loss. Lung cancer is difficult to treat and often returns after treatment, making it a serious social and financial burden for patients and their families. Reducing smoking rates would help

The experiment investigated how the amount of water affects its cooling rate. Three trials were conducted with 200ml, 300ml, and 400ml of water. The water was boiled to 94°C and its temperature was measured every minute for 5 minutes as it cooled. The results showed that as the amount of water increased, the cooling rate decreased, from 4°C/min for 200ml down to 2.6°C/min for 400ml. This supported the hypothesis that more water would cool slower due to its greater heat capacity. Improvements could be made by controlling variables like window openings and distractions near the heat source.
Res Publica is a community dedicated to promoting good governance, civic virtue, and deliberative democracy. It aims to protect ordinary citizens, like farmers, from unfair treatment. In ancient Rome, citizens were divided into two classes - patricians, who were nobles owning land or descended from founders, and plebeians, who were ordinary people. Both classes met in assembly, where plebeians could be elected as two consuls to lead for one year only, with an agreement not to hold power again for 10 years.
