Vision on tap : an online computer vision toolkit
… and publish computer vision applications. The visual development environment includes a collection of algorithms that, despite being well known in the computer vision community, provide capabilities to commodity cameras that are not yet common knowledge. In support of this visual development …

Graveyard Shifts: Unearthing Identity Myths and the Retro Rebrand
… how these ideas came together in the logo and visual development for Corporal Cythe’s, a fictional funeral parlor turned burger joint represented by an octopus selling mysterious nuggets to children. The corporation’s visual representation evolves through time, although the original intent for …

Madagascar's Musical Migrations: Instruments as Framework to Reimagine Early Indian Ocean Contact
… instrument, the valiha, by examining its visual development and incorporation of symbolic imagery. By viewing it as an object that is not limited to making beautiful sounds, I reveal how the valiha embodies enormous amounts of knowledge. This knowledge, often relating to heritage and …

Decoding the Little Skate Retina: Structural Variants and Developmental Dynamics
<p>The retinal development of Elasmobranchs (the superclass comprising sharks, skates and rays) is a poorly understood phenomenon, but it represents a critical component of the broader picture of vertebrate visual development. Evolutionary divergence between these organisms and the mammals is vast, …

Effects of Restricted Spectral Rearing on the Development of Zebrafish Retinal Physiology
… in abnormal lighting environments affects both visual behavior and retinal physiology in zebrafish larvae. These studies, however, used only darkness and constant white light as the experimental rearing conditions. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effects on the development of …

High-level visual object representation in juvenile and adult primates
… are thought to reside in the ventral visual stream, specifically culminating in inferior temporal (IT) cortex. Recent research in machine learning has made great progress in modeling primate ventral visual stream computations. While the end result of current machine learning approaches …

Visual System Development in People with One Eye: Behaviour and Structural Neural Correlates
… although its consequences on motion perception development are less clear. Changes in brain structure following early monocular enucleation have either been assessed in species whose visual system is quite different from humans, or in enucleated monkeys and humans following short-term survival. …

Influence of retinal states on the development and maintenance of retinofugal projections
… with the physical world. This work examines visual development and vision loss in mice to glean the influence of the retinal state on visual connections. I first assessed the impact of retinal activity on the eye-specific segregation of retinal afferents in the lateral geniculate nucleus …

Extending Traditional Static Analysis Techniques to Support Development, Testing and Maintenance of Component-Based Solutions
… are moving away from more ‘traditional’ development approaches towards component-based approaches as ‘the norm.’ Component-based applications most often comprise a collection of distributed object-oriented components such as forms, code snippets, reports, modules, databases, objects, …

Development of a Visual Demonstration Platform for Parallel Evaluation of Active Suspension Systems
… ride and handling. A simplified view of chassis development is that a desirable vehicle ride is provided by a "soft" suspension, and desirable vehicle handling is provided by "stiff" suspensions, it is impossible to simultaneously maximize both vehicle ride and handling in a passive suspension …

Environmentally sensitive printmaking: a framework for safe practice.
… the researchers' professional practice as a visual artist printmaker. The cross disciplinary nature of this practice-led research has established that diverse and non-text based sources be included in the literature review. The resulting contextual review established the evolutionary nature …

The Vertical Integration of Mechatronics at Virginia Tech
… use of a custom-built VT Project Box and the PIC Visual Development (PVD) software, both of which were created specifically for the task of vertical integration of mechatronics. Throughout the semester, the students were given several demonstrations of mechatronic systems through the use of the …

School vision screening programmes: the benefits of including measurements of refractive error.
… (WASS) autorefractor. The accuracy of using visual acuity assessment alone for the detection of amblyopia was also assessed. Overall, it was found that a refractive error assessment does have a role in vision screening. Double the number of children were detected as having a significant …

The oblique effect as a measure of digital media overuse
… the statistical distribution of contours in the visual environment such that there is more neural representation in the visual cortex (area V1) for horizontal and vertical (anisotropic) contours than otherwise ((Hubel & Wisel, 1962). The oblique effect has developed in mammalian and non-mammalian …
