Human Visual Perception Of Region Warping Distortions With Different Display And Scene Characteristics, Yang-Wai Chow, Ronald Pose, Matthew Regan, James Phillips Jan 2006

Human Visual Perception Of Region Warping Distortions With Different Display And Scene Characteristics, Yang-Wai Chow, Ronald Pose, Matthew Regan, James Phillips

This paper presents human visual perception experiment results for a computer graphics rendering technique introduced in ACSC'05. In order to achieve a good immersive virtual reality experience, it is necessary to have at least 60 frames per second to ensure smooth motion. It is also necessary to have low end-to-end latency so that user interaction does not suffer from perceptible delays in images presented to the eyes. The Address Recalculation Pipeline (ARP) architecture reduces end-to-end latency in immersive Head Mounted Display (HMD) virtual reality systems. By using the ARP in conjunction with priority rendering, different sections of the scene are …


Comparison Of Channelized Hotelling And Human Observers In Determining Optimum Os-Em Reconstruction Parameters For Myocardial Spect, Karen L. Gilland, Benjamin M. W Tsui, Yujin Qi, Grant T. Gullberg Jan 2006

The performance of the Channelized Hotelling Observer (CHO) was compared to that of human observers for determining optimum parameters for the iterative OS-EM image reconstruction method for the task of defect detection in myocardial SPECT images. The optimum parameters were those that maximized defect detectability in the SPECT images. Low noise, parallel SPECT projection data, with and without an anterior, inferior or lateral LV wall defect, were simulated using the Monte Carlo method. Poisson noise was added to generate noisy realizations. Data were reconstructed using OS-EM at 1 & 4 subsets/iteration and at 1, 3, 5, 7 & 9 iterations. …
