The document discusses the development of a human URDF model to simulate human-robot interaction. It describes using the Hanavan and Nikolova models to calculate joint movements and segment parameters. The resulting URDF model allows for up to three degrees of freedom for each joint and simulates head and body movements. This model can be used to simulate interaction between a human and PR2 robot in simulation environments like ROS RVIZ and Gazebo.

This document presents a method for perceptually based tone mapping of night time video. It describes using a model of the human visual system to map raw sensor data to perceptually uniform color and lightness. The model decomposes the image into lightness and color-opponent channels, applies nonlinear compression to mimic retinal processing, and combines the results in a way that preserves the spatial and temporal properties of the scene. Evaluation shows the method produces natural-looking nighttime video without halos or color shifts.
