A camcorder-based rapid mapping system
… into the potential of off-the-shelf camcorder imagery for rapid mapping. Video technology was chosen as it has the advantage of continuous image capture, enabling quick acquisition times in environments where access may be limited. Video imagery is also very low cost compared to …

“It’s a relief to talk…”: Mothers’ experiences of breastfeeding recorded in video diaries
… early weeks following birth. Methods: Using a camcorder, five mothers captured their real-time experiences in a video diary, until they perceived their infant feeding was established. A multi-dimensional approach involving thematic analysis was developed to ensure that both the audio and visual …

Evaluation and improvement of optical remote sensing methods in monitoring particulate matter emissions and plume opacity
… with this research to smartphone cameras and a camcorder. In DOM, the response curves, which relate exposure to pixel value (PV), are determined for compact cameras, smartphone cameras, and a camcorder. Then, relative exposures of select regions within a plume picture are used to calculate plume …

Design and control of a robotic cable-suspended camera system for operation in 3-D industrial environment
… The endeffector of the robot consists of a camcorder mounted on a platform. The objective of the robot is to manipulate the camcorder in 3-D space with minimal tracking error. The dynamic equations of the system are derived along with the kinematic relationships and a closed-loop controller …

Detection of Marine Vehicles in Images and Video of Open Sea
… of images and video is a digital camera or a camcorder which is placed on a buoy or stationary mounted in a harbor facility. The system is intended to work autonomously, taking images of the surrounding ocean surface and analyzing them for the presence of marine vehicles. The goal of the …

Effect of variation in nestling hunger levels on the begging behavior of nestlings and the provisioning behavior of adult American Kestrels
… were modified with a separate compartment for a camcorder to record nestling behavior, and a second camcorder was placed outside of nests to monitor adult behavior. To manipulate nestling hunger levels, 12 to 26-day-old nestlings in six nests were deprived of food for 24 hours and those in the …

Kinematic variations between successful and unsuccessful dynamic rock climbing movements
… wall (EPIC Adventures) that were recorded via camcorder (Fastek Imaging; 30hz). MaxTRAQ software (v. 2.9.1.5; Innovision Systems) was used to digitize data and determine sagittal joint angles, joint velocities, COM displacement, and COM velocities during the initial, takeoff, and catch phases …

Development of root observation method by image analysis system
… The contrast-enhanced images were stored on the camcorder video tape and digitized by frame grabber. A binary root image was acquired from the digitized gray scale image by a thresholding operation. The binary root image was thinned until the roots were reduced to their basic structure. Root …

Being formless: a Daoist movement practice
… of documentary material recorded by a still camcorder during a five-session workshop conducted during this research. The highlights of each stage appear briefly, in sequence, presenting the sense of transformation felt throughout the workshop. Footage of the participant and myself are …

Accelerated Culture: Exploring Time and Space in Cinema, Television and New Media in the Digital Age
… and DIY cinema (such as the Internet, personal camcorder, mobile screens, and desktop editing). Conversely, VCR, DVD, DVR devices (as well as online streaming and DVD and Blu-Ray rental sites) have transformed the consumption of the moving image. Time-shifting devices allow for halting and …

Unfolding time : a projective model for the moving image
… early cinematographs to contemporary digital camcorder equipment. These technologies have arisen, however, amongst a setting of concentrated discourse surrounding the nature of what it means to exist as a durational being, also happening in time. This thesis will argue that the depiction of …

Low-complexity methods for image and video watermarking
… watermarking schemes designed to prevent theatre camcorder piracy are also presented. In these methods, the video is watermarked so that its display is not permitted if a compliant video player detects the watermark. A watermark that is robust to geometric distortions (rotation, scaling, cropping) …

Capillary Pumped Loop Performance Investigation through Flow Visualization
… 1996. VIEW-CPL was instrumented with a video camcorder and sensors for measuring the loop pressure and temperature at various locations. The data that was collected from the micro-gravity and ground tests provide significant insight into the physics of CPL operation. Heat transfer models of …

Economies of fantasy, pleasure and desire in explicit sex films
… thesis will address the ways in which video and camcorder technology has shifted the means of representing authenticity and will discuss the implications of the notion that authenticity operates through disavowal as a fetish. The thesis will ask what it means to assign authenticity to the sexual …

Vocal responses of adult Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis) to potential nest predators and the behavioral responses of nestlings
… of nestlings was simultaneously recorded with a camcorder. I conducted 48 trials at 27 nest boxes. Adult bluebirds did not respond vocally during 10 trials (20.8%), but did call during all 12 trials with the raccoon. In addition, adult bluebirds uttered alarm calls and chatter calls that were …
