INTRODUCTION Most people have been sized for an article of clothing at some point in their lives and are thus familiar with the measurement techniques used by tailors. Similar measurements of the human body are made in anthropometry, but they are performed with much more precision. While the goal of tailoring is to size a person for a garment, anthropometry serves to broaden our knowledge about the human form. One may ask why quantification and identification of human morphology is necessary when these differences are readily visible. As explained by Richtsmeier et al. (1 992), "First, the precision gained through quantification is important. Second, although differences between forms may appear obvious, the significance of the difference cannot be ascertained by the naked eye.. Third, some of our most interesting questions entail comparison of comparisons in the form of ontogenetic and phylogenetic sequences. A comparison of comparisons is not possible without morphometric analysis." Until recently, all measurements of the human body were collected by a human observer in a manual fashion. Advances in laser scanner technology, however, have initiated the development of automated systems which acquire measurement data about the human body directly from surface scans. Such systems incorporate both hardware and software solutions to many of the challenges faced when attempting to quantify the features of an irregular object like the human form. Nevertheless, one of the most complex issues remains to be solved: the automated identification, registration, and measurement of the three dimensional human body scan data collected by these systems. In this thesis, two practical automated methods are presented. The first takes advantage of classical image processing technique to detect and identify externally placed reference markers. The second uses 3-D shape analysis methods to locate the wrist of a human subject in scan data. 1.1. History of Anthropometry In the past, measurements have been gathered using mechanical devices, such as the segmometer devised by Carr et al. (1993) to measure distances on the body. Other methods of anthropometry have been employed with regards to the quantification of body surfaces. First, body surface measurements have been estimated from physical dimensions such as body length and mass. Clearly, there is room for significant error with this approach. In the late 1800's, anthropologists devised instrumentation to "integrate" the surface of the body from directly measured points. Before this method was invented, anthropologists had drawn triangles on the surface of the body and had calculated the surface area of the body as the sum of the areas of the triangles. An even more interesting method employed the use of a removable material which was placed over the surface of the body and then measured. Finally, the skinning of cadavers has also been used to quantify body surface area (Brozek et al. 1987). The major drawback

Whether, or how, action and perception are temporally coordinated is not known. The preparation time course of an action (e.g., a saccade) has been widely studied with the gap/overlap paradigm with temporal asynchronies (TA) between peripheral target onset and fixation point offset (gap, synchronous, or overlap). However, whether the subjects perceive the gap or overlap, and when they perceive it, has not been studied. We adapted the gap/overlap paradigm to study the temporal coupling of action and perception. Human subjects made saccades to targets with different TAs with respect to fixation point offset and reported whether they perceived the stimuli as separated by a gap or overlapped in time. Both saccadic and perceptual report reaction times changed in the same way as a function of TA. The TA dependencies of the time change for action and perception were very similar, suggesting a common neural substrate.

Titcomb, PT, DPT Thesis Chair ______________________________ David DeWitt, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Garth McGibbon, M.S. Committee Member ______________________________ Marilyn Gadomski, Ph.D. Assistant Honors Director ______________________________ Date THE COMPLEX HUMAN EYE 3 Abstract The human eye has been the cause of much controversy in regards to its complexity and how the human eye came to be. Through following and discussing the anatomical and physiological functions of the eye, a better understanding of the argument of origins can be seen. The anatomy of the human eye and its many functions are clearly seen, through its complexity. When observing the intricacy of vision and all of the different aspects and connections, it does seem that the human eye is a miracle, no matter its origins. Major biological functions and processes occurring in the retina show the intensity of the eye’s intricacy. After viewing the eye and reviewing its anatomical and physiological domain, arguments regarding its origins are more clearly seen and understood. Evolutionary theory, in terms of Darwin’s thoughts, theorized fossilization of animals, computer simulations of eye evolution, and new research on supposed prior genes occurring in lower life forms leading to human life.

  • The Evolution of Human Intelligence and the Coefficient of Additive Genetic Variance in Human Brain Size ⁎ Geoffrey F
    Intelligence 35 (2007) 97–114 The evolution of human intelligence and the coefficient of additive genetic variance in human brain size ⁎ Geoffrey F. Miller a, , Lars Penke b a University of New Mexico, USA b Institut für Psychologie, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany Received 3 November 2005; received in revised form 17 August 2006; accepted 18 August 2006 Available online 12 October 2006 Abstract Most theories of human mental evolution assume that selection favored higher intelligence and larger brains, which should have reduced genetic variance in both. However, adult human intelligence remains highly heritable, and is genetically correlated with brain size. This conflict might be resolved by estimating the coefficient of additive genetic variance (CVA) in human brain size, since CVAs are widely used in evolutionary genetics as indexes of recent selection. Here we calculate for the first time that this CVA is about 7.8, based on data from 19 recent MRI studies of adult human brain size in vivo: 11 studies on brain size means and standard deviations, and 8 studies on brain size heritabilities. This CVA appears lower than that for any other human organ volume or life-history trait, suggesting that the brain has been under strong stabilizing (average-is-better) selection. This result is hard to reconcile with most current theories of human mental evolution, which emphasize directional (more-is-better) selection for higher intelligence and larger brains. Either these theories are all wrong, or CVAs are not as evolutionarily informative as most evolutionary geneticists believe, or, as we suggest, brain size is not a very good index for understanding the evolutionary genetics of human intelligence.

Inside these pages you will find an alphabetical listing of common eye diseases and visual problems I treat on a day-to-day basis. Ophthalmology is a field riddled with confusing concepts and nomenclature, so I figured a layman's dictionary might help you "decode" the medical jargon. Hopefully, this explanatory approach helps remove some of the mystery behind eye disease. With this book, you should be able to: 1. Look up any eye "diagnosis" you or your family has been given 2. Know why you are getting eye "tests" 3. Look up the ingredients of your eye drops. As you read any particular topic, you will see that some words are underlined. An underlined word means that I've written another entry for that particular topic. You can flip to that section if you'd like further explanation, though I've attempted to make each entry understandable on its own merit. I'm hoping this approach allows you to learn more about the eye without getting bogged down with minutia ..

  • Geometry and Control of Human Eye Movements Ashoka D
    170 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL, VOL. 52, NO. 2, FEBRUARY 2007 Geometry and Control of Human Eye Movements Ashoka D. Polpitiya, Member, IEEE, Wijesuriya P. Dayawansa, Fellow, IEEE, Clyde F. Martin, Fellow, IEEE, and Bijoy K. Ghosh, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—In this paper, we study the human oculomotor system as a simple mechanical control system. It is a well known physio- logical fact that all eye movements obey Listing’s law, which states that eye orientations form a subset consisting of rotation matrices for which the axes are orthogonal to the normal gaze direction. First, we discuss the geometry of this restricted configuration space (re- ferred to as the Listing space). Then we formulate the system as a simple mechanical control system with a holonomic constraint. We propose a realistic model with musculotendon complexes and ad- dress the question of controlling the gaze. As an example, an optimal energy control problem is formulated and numerically solved. Index Terms—Eye movements, geodesics, Hill model, Listing’s law, simple mechanical control systems. I. INTRODUCTION IOLOGICAL systems are becoming more appealing to ap- Bproaches that are commonly used in systems theory and suggest new design principles that may have important prac- tical applications in manmade systems. The principles of con- Fig. 1. Anatomy of the eye (courtesy of Yale University School of Medicine). trol theory are central to many of the key questions in biological engineering. Eye movements, for an example, reflect how the brain and the musculotendon system work in unison to control ignored but focusing on the information processing and control the gaze directions while ensuring that attitudes are confined to aspects [5], [6].

  • A Pictorial Anatomy of the Human Eye/Anophthalmic Socket: a Review for Ocularists
    A Pictorial Anatomy of the Human Eye/Anophthalmic Socket: A Review for Ocularists ABSTRACT: Knowledge of human eye anatomy is obviously impor- tant to ocularists. This paper describes, with pictorial emphasis, the anatomy of the eye that ocularists generally encounter: the anophthalmic eye/socket. The author continues the discussion from a previous article: Anatomy of the Anterior Eye for Ocularists, published in 2004 in the Journal of Ophthalmic Prosthetics.1 Michael O. Hughes INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE B.C.O. Artificial Eye Clinic of Washington, D.C. Understanding the basic anatomy of the human eye is a requirement for all Vienna, Virginia health care providers, but it is even more significant to eye care practition- ers, including ocularists. The type of eye anatomy that ocularists know, how- ever, is more abstract, as the anatomy has been altered from its natural form. Although the companion eye in monocular patients is usually within the normal range of aesthetics and function, the affected side may be distorted. While ocularists rarely work on actual eyeballs (except to cover microph- thalmic and blind, phthisical eyes using scleral cover shells), this knowledge can assist the ocularist in obtaining a naturally appearing prosthesis, and it will be of greater benefit to the patient. An easier exchange among ocularists, surgeons, and patients will result from this knowledge.1, 2, 3 RELATIONSHIPS IN THE NORMAL EYE AND ORBIT The opening between the eyelids is called the palpebral fissure. In the nor- mal eye, characteristic relationships should be recognized by the ocularist to understand the elements to be evaluated in the fellow eye.

Recent large-scale supervised methods for these problems require time- consuming data collection and manual annotation, which can be unreliable. We propose synthesizing perfectly labelled photo- realistic training data in a fraction of the time. We used computer graphics techniques to build a collection of dynamic eye-region Gaze estimation models from head scan geometry. These were randomly posed to synthesize close-up eye images for a wide range of head poses, gaze directions, and illumination conditions. We used our model’s controllability to verify the importance of realistic illumination and shape variations in eye-region training data. pitch = 15°, yaw = 9° Finally, we demonstrate the benefits of our synthesized training data (SynthesEyes) by out-performing state-of-the-art methods Fig. 1: We render a large number of photorealistic images of eyes for eye-shape registration as well as cross-dataset appearance- using a dynamic eye region model. These are used as training data based gaze estimation in the wild. for eye-shape registration and appearance-based gaze estimation. I.
