The attention function has been classified into (i) sustained attention, (ii) selective attention, (iii) controlled attention, (iv) distributed attention, and (v) capacity for attention. Ordinarily, in order to evaluate the function of attention, the digital cancellation test (D-CAT) or trail making test (TMT) are employed. However, these evaluations are in the form of paper tests, and cannot effectively...
In this paper we present a novel experiment to explore the impact of avatar realism on the illusion of virtual body ownership (IVBO) in immersive virtual environments, with full-body avatar embodiment and freedom of movement. We evaluated four distinct avatars (a humanoid robot, a block-man, and both male and female human adult) presenting an increasing level of anthropomorphism in their detailed...
Forensic investigation methods based on some human traits, including fingerprint, face, and palm print, have been developed significantly, but some major aspects of particular crimes such as child pornography still lack of notable research efforts. Unlike common forensic identification methods, techniques for identifying criminals in child pornographic images should be developed based on partial non-facial...
This study was to explore the affective qualities which influence subjects' aesthetic preferences. Forty-six subjects assessed sixteen skins on an aesthetic preference scale and eleven affective meaning scales. The aesthetic preference was regarded as a dependent variable; the eleven affective meanings were independent variables. The Stepwise Regression Analysis was performed. The result showed that...
Traditionally, it was difficult to use vein patterns in evidence images for forensic identification, because they were nearly invisible in color images. We proposed a computational method based on skin optics to uncover vein patterns from color images. However, its performance is dependent on the accuracy of the skin optical model. In this paper, we propose an algorithm based on image mapping to visualize...
The research presented in this paper aims at developing and validating a predictive tool of individual exposure to solar Ultra-Violet (UV). UV exposure depends on ambient irradiation level and individual factors related to activity (position to the sun, clothing, duration of exposure, and other forms of sun protection). We predict exposure levels of body parts on basis of ambient irradiation levels...
