Analysis of structural construction of existing three-dimensional accelerometers is carried out, in which due to the opposite direction of sensitivity vectors and direction of measured inertial force, they allow to measure only linear inertia and accelerations varying in relatively small limits. On the other hand, due to the presence of elements in them that create electromagnetic fields, their construction is somewhat complicated. In addition, in known accel-erometers, due to the absence of a measurement object position sensor and an electronic control circuit, the func-tionality of the accelerometer is limited, Due to lack of integrator for acceleration integration, speed measurement is not provided, Due to rigid attachment of piezoelectric sensing elements through their bases, during measurement they generate interference signals, The amplitude of which exceeds the amplitude of the useful signal, which does not ensure reliability of the measured acceleration or speed and due to the presence of sensitive piezoelectric ele-ments, Having higher rigidity and requiring relatively large mechanical forces for generation of signals during mo-tion of acceleration and speed measurement object in automatic mode, which reduces sensitivity of accelerometer. Invention proposes new design and control scheme of three-dimensional piezoelectric accelerometer for measure-ment of dynamic parameters of moving objects in automatic mode. Wherein providing the position sensor of the moving measurement object with a three-axis signal detection unit to determine a direction of motion with meas-urement of acceleration or linear velocity when the measurement object moves along the coordinate axis; With the help of differential operational amplifiers through pulse generators and integrators, Speed measurement is provided by damping piezoelectric elements when the measurement object moves along one of the coordinate axes; Across the other two axes, the generated interference signals by amplitude are significantly reduced by their redemption; Having a piezoelectric element in the structure in the form of two-layer flat plates with an excitation section and a sensor section; Which generates signals at fast-changing acceleration and speed of moving object, amplitude of signal and sensitivity increases in 4-5 due to generation of signal by sensitive elements in vibration excitation mode created in accelerometer. Mathematical basis for accelerometer control circuits, mathematical model of its functioning is developed, applica-tion of which increases sensitivity of measurement of linear accelerations and speeds of moving objects and expands functional capabilities.

The paper presents an intelligent approach for the comparison of social networks through a cone model by using the fuzzy k-medoids clustering method. It makes use of a geometrical three-dimensional conical model, which astutely represents the user experience views. It uses both the static as well as the dynamic parameters of social networks. In this, we propose an algorithm that investigates which social network is more fruitful. For the experimental results, the proposed work is employed on the data collected from students from different universities through the Google forms, where students are required to rate their experience of using different social networks on different scales.

In order to reduce the difficulty of adjusting parameters for the codebook model and the computational complexity of probability distribution for the Gaussian mixture model in intelligent visual surveillance, a moving objects detection algorithm based on three-dimensional Gaussian mixture codebook model using XYZ color model is proposed. In this algorithm, a codebook model based on XYZ color model is built, and then the Gaussian model based on X, Y and Z components in codewords is established respectively. In this way, the characteristic of the three-dimensional Gaussian mixture model for the codebook model is obtained. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can attain higher real-time capability and its average frame rate is about 16.7 frames per second, while it is about 8.3 frames per second for the iGMM (improved Gaussian mixture model) algorithm, about 6.1 frames per second for the BM (Bayes model) algorithm, about 12.5 frames per second for the GCBM (Gaussian-based codebook model) algorithm, and about 8.5 frames per second for the CBM (codebook model) algorithm in the comparative experiments. Furthermore the proposed algorithm can obtain better detection quantity.

30 boys and 30 girls, 6 yr. old, participated in a study assessing the influence of the visual patterns of moving objects and their respective backgrounds on the prediction of objects' directionality. An apparatus was designed to permit modified spherical objects with interchangeable covers and backgrounds to move in three-dimensional space in three directions at selected speeds. The subject's task was to predict one of three possible directions of an object: the object either moved toward the subject's midline or toward a point 18 in. to the left or right of the midline. The movements of all objects started at the same place which was 19.5 ft. in front of the subject. Prediction time was recorded on 15 trials. Analysis of variance indicated that visual patterns of the moving object did not influence the prediction of the object's directionality. Visual patterns of the background behind the moving object did not influence the prediction of the object's directionality except during the conditions of a light nonpatterned moving object. It was concluded that visual patterns of the background and that of the moving object have a very limited influence on the prediction of direction.

Abstract Introduction: Rotational deformities following IM nailing of tibia has a reported incidence of as high as 20%. Common techniques to measure deformities following IM nailing of tibia are either based on clinical assessment, plain X-rays or CT-scan comparing the treated leg with the uninjured contralateral side. All these techniques are based on examiners manual calculation inherently subject to bias. Following our previous rigorous motion analysis and symmetry studies on hemi pelvises, femurs and orthopaedic implants, we aimed to introduce a novel fully digital technique to measure rotational deformities in the lower legs.Material and Methods: Following formal institutional approval from the Imperial College, CT images of 10 pairs of human lower legs were retrieved. Images were anonymized and uploaded to a research server. Three dimensional CT images of the lower legs were bilaterally reconstructed. The mirrored images of the left side were merged with the right side proximally as stationary and distally as moving objects. Discrepancies in translation and rotation were automatically calculated.Results: Our study population had a mean age of 54 ± 20 years. There were six males and four females. We observed a greater variation in translation (mm) of Centre of Mass (COM) in sagittal plane (CI: -2.959--.292) which was also presented as rotational difference alongside the antero-posterior direction or Y axis (CI: .370-1.035). In other word the right lower legs in our study were more likely to be in varus compared to the left side. However, there were no statistically significant differences in coronal or axial planes.Conclusion: Using our proposed fully digital technique we found that lower legs of the human adults were symmetrical in axial and coronal plane. We found sagittal plane differences which need further addressing in future using bigger sample size. Our novel recommended technique is fully digital and commercially available. This new technique can be useful in clinical practice addressing rotational deformities following orthopaedic surgical intervention. This new technique can substitute the previously introduced techniques.

Abstract Interocular differences in image blur can cause processing speed differences that lead to dramatic misperceptions of the distance and three-dimensional direction of moving objects. This recently discovered illusion—the reverse Pulfrich effect—is caused by optical conditions induced by monovision, a common correction for presbyopia. Fortunately, anti-Pulfrich monovision corrections, which darken the blurring lens, can eliminate the illusion for many viewing conditions. However, the reverse Pulfrich effect and the efficacy of anti-Pulfrich corrections have been demonstrated only with trial lenses. This situation should be addressed, for clinical and scientific reasons. First, it is important to replicate these effects with contact lenses, the most common method for delivering monovision. Second, trial lenses of different powers, unlike contacts, can cause large magnification differences between the eyes. To confidently attribute the reverse Pulfrich effect to interocular optical blur differences, and to ensure that previously reported effect sizes are reliable, one must control for magnification. Here, in a within-observer study with five separate experiments, we demonstrate that (1) contact lenses and trial lenses induce indistinguishable reverse Pulfrich effects, (2) anti-Pulfrich corrections are equally effective when induced by contact and trial lenses, and (3) magnification differences do not cause or impact the Pulfrich effect.

Moving object detection and tracking from image sequences has been extensively studied in a variety of fields. Nevertheless, observing geometric attributes and identifying the detected objects for further investigation of moving behavior has drawn less attention. The focus of this study is to determine moving trajectories, object heights, and object recognition using a monocular camera configuration. This paper presents a scheme to conduct moving object recognition with three-dimensional (3D) observation using faster region-based convolutional neural network (Faster R-CNN) with a stationary and rotating Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) camera and close-range photogrammetry. The camera motion effects are first eliminated to detect objects that contain actual movement, and a moving object recognition process is employed to recognize the object classes and to facilitate the estimation of their geometric attributes. Thus, this information can further contribute to the investigation of object moving behavior. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme quantitatively, first, an experiment with indoor synthetic configuration is conducted, then, outdoor real-life data are used to verify the feasibility based on recall, precision, and F1 index. The experiments have shown promising results and have verified the effectiveness of the proposed method in both laboratory and real environments. The proposed approach calculates the height and speed estimates of the recognized moving objects, including pedestrians and vehicles, and shows promising results with acceptable errors and application potential through existing PTZ camera images at a very low cost.

Obstacle avoidance and available road identification technologies have been investigated for autonomous driving of an unmanned vehicle. In order to apply research results to autonomous driving in real environments, it is necessary to consider moving objects. This article proposes a preprocessing method to identify the dynamic zones where moving objects exist around an unmanned vehicle. This method accumulates three-dimensional points from a light detection and ranging sensor mounted on an unmanned vehicle in voxel space. Next, features are identified from the cumulative data at high speed, and zones with significant feature changes are estimated as zones where dynamic objects exist. The approach proposed in this article can identify dynamic zones even for a moving vehicle and processes data quickly using several features based on the geometry, height map and distribution of three-dimensional space data. The experiment for evaluating the performance of proposed approach was conducted using ground truth data on simulation and real environment data set.
