The wavelet analysis of the integral images can be used in extraction of the depth of the photographed/synthesized 3D objects. The result of the analysis, however, depends on the colour/texture of the object and thus can be ambiguous. In this paper, we propose to normalize the image before processing in order to avoid such an ambiguity, and to extract the depth without regard to the colour/texture. The proposed technique is verified in multiple integral/plenoptic images and can be applied to multiview and light-field displays as well.

Objective To determine how changing and informing a user of the false alarm (FA) rate of an automated target recognition (ATR) system affects the user’s trust in and reliance on the system and their performance during an underwater mine detection task. Background ATR systems are designed to operate using a high sensitivity and a liberal decision criterion to reduce the risk of the ATR system missing a target. A high number of FAs in general may lead to a decrease in operator trust and reliance. Methods Participants viewed sonar images and were asked to identify mines in the images. They performed the task without ATR and with ATR at a lower and higher FA rate. The participants were split into two groups—one informed and one uninformed of the changed FA rate. Trust and/or confidence in detecting mines was measured after each block. Results When not informed of the FA rate, the FA rate had a significant effect on the participants’ response bias. Participants had greater trust in the system and a more consistent response bias when informed of the FA rate. Sensitivity and confidence were not influenced by disclosure of the FA rate but were significantly worse for the high FA rate condition compared with performance without the ATR. Conclusion and application Informing a user of the FA rate of automation may positively influence the level of trust in and reliance on the aid.

The present paper deals with a duality study associated with a new class of multiobjective optimization problems that include the interval-valued components of the ratio vector. More precisely, by using the new notion of (ρ,ψ,d)-quasiinvexity associated with an interval-valued multiple-integral functional, we formulate and prove weak, strong, and converse duality results for the considered class of variational control problems.

AbstractFor the Hilbert type multiple integral inequality $$ \int _{\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}} \int _{\mathbb{R}_{+}^{m}} K\bigl( \Vert x \Vert _{m,\rho }, \Vert y \Vert _{n, \rho }\bigr) f(x)g(y) \,\mathrm{d} x \,\mathrm{d} y \leq M \Vert f \Vert _{p, \alpha } \Vert g \Vert _{q, \beta } $$ ∫ R + n ∫ R + m K ( ∥ x ∥ m , ρ , ∥ y ∥ n , ρ ) f ( x ) g ( y ) d x d y ≤ M ∥ f ∥ p , α ∥ g ∥ q , β with a nonhomogeneous kernel $K(\|x\|_{m, \rho }, \|y\|_{n, \rho })=G(\|x\|^{\lambda _{1}}_{m, \rho }/ \|y\|^{\lambda _{2}}_{n, \rho })$ K ( ∥ x ∥ m , ρ , ∥ y ∥ n , ρ ) = G ( ∥ x ∥ m , ρ λ 1 / ∥ y ∥ n , ρ λ 2 ) ($\lambda _{1}\lambda _{2}> 0$ λ 1 λ 2 > 0 ), in this paper, by using the weight function method, necessary and sufficient conditions that parameters p, q, $\lambda _{1}$ λ 1 , $\lambda _{2}$ λ 2 , α, β, m, and n should satisfy to make the inequality hold for some constant M are established, and the expression formula of the best constant factor is also obtained. Finally, their applications in operator boundedness and operator norm are also considered, and the norms of several integral operators are discussed.

Escherichia coli has been known to cause a variety of infectious diseases. The conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a well-known method widely used to diagnose a variety of infectious diseases. This method is expensive and requires considerable time and effort to conduct and complete multiple integral steps. We previously proposed the use of paper-based ELISA to rapidly detect the presence of E. coli. This approach has demonstrated utility for point-of-care (POC) urinary tract infection diagnoses. Paper-based ELISA, while advantageous, still requires the execution of several procedural steps. Here, we discuss the design and experimental implementation of a turntable paper-based device to simplify the paper-based ELISA protocols for the detection of E. coli. In this process, antibodies or reagents are preloaded onto zones of a paper-based device and allowed to dry before use. We successfully used this device to detect E. coli with a detection limit of 105 colony-forming units (colony-forming unit [CFU])/mL.

This paper summarises the main results of 10 years of research and development in Humanitarian Demining. The Hudem project focuses on mine detection systems and aims at provided different solutions to support the mine detection operations. Robots using different kind of locomotion systems have been designed and tested on dummy minefields. In order to control these robots, software interfaces, control algorithms, visual positioning and terrain following systems have also been developed. Typical data acquisition results obtained during trial campaigns with robots and data acquisition systems are reported. Lessons learned during the project and future work conclude this paper.
