Initial Setup After installing Rose Point ECS, charts can be installed and connected sensors can be configured. Installing Charts Rose Point ECS includes a US Charts Disc which you can use to get your chart collection started. Just insert the disc into your PC and Rose Point ECS will let you select which charts to install. Keep in mind, however, that charts are updated on a weekly basis, so by the time you install charts from a disc, they are quite possibly out of date already. Rose Point ECS can also be used to select, download, and install several types of charts, including free US coverage. Use Settings > Charts and Add-Ons > Store to see what’s available. Charts that are installed this way are automatically maintained and updates will be downloaded and installed during the “synchronization” process described later. If your vessel is enrolled in Rose Point ECS Services, your fleet administrator may have configured fleet-wide chart and publication subscriptions. These charts and pubs will be installed automatically as part of the synchronization process Configuring Your Electronics If Rose Point ECS is being interfaced to a Rose Point GPS Sensor or a Rose Point Nemo Gateway, follow the setup instructions included with the device. Rose Point ECS will automatically detect these units. For other devices, go to Settings > Electronics to configure Rose Point ECS to use them. To setup a new device, click the Configure a New Device button and either select Auto Detect or choose a port from the Communication Ports list to manually set its options. For optimum performance, Rose Point ECS needs to know the size and draft of your vessel as well as how your GPS and other electronics are connected to your PC and where they are located on the vessel. Use Settings > Vessel to set information about your vessel and use Settings > Electronics to adjust the positions of GPS antennas on your vessel 1 Upgrading from an older version? If you are upgrading from a prior version of Rose Point ECS, you can find helpful information in the What's New in Rose Point ECS 4 chapter to get acquainted with this version of Rose Point ECS. This can be found near the end of this reference manual as well as the Getting Started section of the software’s embedded Help feature. To access Help, press F1 on your keyboard or select Main Menu > Using Rose Point ECS The default Rose Point ECS window has three parts called the Browser, the Work Area, and the Instrument Panels. The Work Area The Work Area, center area above, displays a chart by default, but can also show video, radar, sounder, or other information based on which add-ons are installed. The Work Area can also be split into multiple panels, each of which can show a chart, video, radar, or sounder image. To customize the Work Area, refer to the “Screens Browser” section of this document. 2 The Browser To the left of the Work Area, is the Browser which is used to show information not displayed in the Work Area and allows you to control various options. The Browser is normally "closed" and appears as a set of buttons which can be used to "open" the Browser to various areas of the program. For a detailed look at the Browser features, refer to the “Using the Browser” section of this document. The Instrument Panels To the right of the Work Area are the Instrument Panels which show navigation and sensor information. The Instrument Panels are normally closed when not underway and open when underway. When they are closed, only the names of the panels appear at the far-right side of the screen. Clicking a name will open that Instrument Panel and clicking the name of the open panel will close it again. The Instrument Panels are customizable. There is no limit to how many Instrument Panels can be created. 3 For a detailed look at what the Instrument

    THE BROWN MOMENT IN TAIWAN: MAKING SENSE OF THE LAW AND POLITICS OF THE TAIWANESE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE CASE IN A COMPARATIVE LIGHT Ming-Sung Kuo & Hui-Wen Chen+ The Taiwan Constitutional Court (TCC) recently issued a landmark decision in Interpretation No. 748 (the Same-Sex Marriage Case), declaring the definition of marriage as a gender-differentiated union of a man and a woman under the Civil Code unconstitutional and setting the stage for Taiwan to become the first in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. This decision has been compared to Obergefell v. Hodges. However, reading Obergefell in the broad context of the gay rights movement and the role of judicial review in Taiwanese constitutional politics, we challenge this analogy. Due to the discrepancy between the social movement and the law in the fight for constitutional rights for gays and lesbians in Taiwan, the Same-Sex Marriage Case is Taiwan’s Brown v. Board of Education moment in her constitutional law and politics. To make sense of the law and politics of the Same Sex Marriage Case, we evaluate its political context and the text and style in its reasoning. We observe a discrepancy between law and politics in the pursuit of the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians in Taiwan. The rise of same-sex marriage to the top of the antidiscrimination agenda resulted from the continuous effort of gay rights activists, while the TCC watched this movement from the sidelines until the Same-Sex Marriage Case. This case thus mirrors Brown in two respects. First, the role of the TCC has been publicly questioned after its Brown-like contentious decision on the issue of same-sex marriage.

    Multiscale Gradients Based Directional Demosaicing

    International Journal of Engineering Research and Applications (IJERA) ISSN: 2248-9622 International Conference on Humming Bird ( 01st March 2014) RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Multiscale Gradients based directional demosaicing A. Jasmine ,John Peter.K2 Jasmine A. Author is currently pursuing M.Tech (IT) in Vins Christian College of Engineering..Email:[email protected]. 2John Peter K. Author is currently the Head of the Department of IT in VINS Christian College of Engineering. Abstract: Single sensor digital cameras capture one color value for every pixel location. The remaining two color channel values need to be estimated to obtain a complete color image. This process is called demosaicing or Color Filter Array (CFA) interpolation. We propose a directional approach to the CFA interpolation problem that makes use of multiscale color gradients .The relationship between color gradients on different scales is used to generate signals in vertical and horizontal directions. We determine how much each direction should contribute to the green channel interpolation based on these signals. The proposed method is easy to implement since it isnon iterative and threshold free. Experiments on test images show that it offers superior objective and subjective interpolation quality. Index Terms -Demosaicing, Color filter array interpolation, Multiscale color gradient, directional interpolation. I. INTRODUCTION Most digital cameras employ single sensor designs because using multiple sensors coupled with beam splitters for each pixel location is costly in hardware. This design choice necessitates the use of color filter arrays. The color channel layout on a color filter array determines which channel will be captured at each pixel location.

  • Effective Appearance Model and Similarity Measure for Particle Filtering and Visual Tracking

    Effective Appearance Model and Similarity Measure for Particle Filtering and Visual Tracking

    Effective Appearance Model and Similarity Measure for Particle Filtering and Visual Tracking Hanzi Wang, David Suter, and Konrad Schindler Institute for Vision Systems Engineering, Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, Monash University, Clayton Vic. 3800, Australia {hanzi.wang, d.suter, konrad.schindler}@eng.monash.edu.au Abstract. In this paper, we adaptively model the appearance of objects based on Mixture of Gaussians in a joint spatial-color space (the approach is called SMOG). We propose a new SMOG-based similarity measure. SMOG captures richer information than the general color histogram because it incorporates spa- tial layout in addition to color. This appearance model and the similarity meas- ure are used in a framework of Bayesian probability for tracking natural objects. In the second part of the paper, we propose an Integral Gaussian Mixture (IGM) technique, as a fast way to extract the parameters of SMOG for target candidate. With IGM, the parameters of SMOG can be computed efficiently by using only simple arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, division) and thus the com- putation is reduced to linear complexity. Experiments show that our method can successfully track objects despite changes in foreground appearance, clutter, occlusion, etc.; and that it outperforms several color-histogram based methods. 1 Introduction Visual tracking in unconstrained environments is one of the most challenging tasks in computer vision because it has to overcome many difficulties arising from sensor noise, clutter, occlusions and changes in lighting, background and foreground appear- ance etc. Yet tracking objects is an important task with many practical applications such as smart rooms, human-computer interaction, video surveillance, and gesture recog- nition.
  • Improved Three-Dimensional Color-Gradient Lattice Boltzmann Model

    Improved Three-Dimensional Color-Gradient Lattice Boltzmann Model

    Improved three-dimensional color-gradient lattice Boltzmann model for immiscible multiphase flows Z. X. Wen, Q. Li*, and Y. Yu School of Energy Science and Engineering, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China Kai. H. Luo Department of Mechanical Engineering, University College London, Torrington Place, London WC1E 7JE, UK *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract In this paper, an improved three-dimensional color-gradient lattice Boltzmann (LB) model is proposed for simulating immiscible multiphase flows. Compared with the previous three-dimensional color-gradient LB models, which suffer from the lack of Galilean invariance and considerable numerical errors in many cases owing to the error terms in the recovered macroscopic equations, the present model eliminates the error terms and therefore improves the numerical accuracy and enhances the Galilean invariance. To validate the proposed model, numerical simulation are performed. First, the test of a moving droplet in a uniform flow field is employed to verify the Galilean invariance of the improved model. Subsequently, numerical simulations are carried out for the layered two-phase flow and three-dimensional Rayleigh-Taylor instability. It is shown that, using the improved model, the numerical accuracy can be significantly improved in comparison with the color-gradient LB model without the improvements. Finally, the capability of the improved color-gradient LB model for simulating dynamic multiphase flows at a relatively large density ratio is demonstrated via the simulation of droplet impact on a solid surface. PACS number(s): 47.11.-j. 1 I. Introduction In the past three decades, the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method [1-9], which originates from the lattice gas automaton (LGA) method [10], has been developed into an efficient numerical approach for simulating fluid flow and heat transfer.

After all, we're located in an almost always sunny spot. We could surf and go skiing on the same day if we wanted to. We're a school that's safe. In fact, everyone gets along pretty well. We're on the small side, which has some advantages. For one thing, just about everybody knows everyone. Our teachers may get mad sometimes, but we know they really care about us. And Marian is fun. There's always time to fool around a little: talk with friends, play games and just goof off. That's what we sometimes like to do best. That's what will make memories for us when we look back and remember the time of our lives. Margaret Alcock and Philip Disney look on patiently as James Perkins contemplates his next move.

    An Interview with Mali Wu, Co-Curator of 2018 Taipei Biennial

    Leora Joy Jones An Interview with Mali Wu, Co-curator of 2018 Taipei Biennial Leora Joy Jones: Your approach to art has changed quite a bit over the years. Can you tell me about your practice now? Mali Wu: I am interested in socially engaged art that has a function. This function is pedagogical, regardless of whether the artist is conscious of the audience or not. Art is a medium that provides a certain message. It is important for curators to work with the idea of the public in our consciousness and focus on how to approach audiences to convey what we are saying. I have been practicing this kind of socially engaged art for almost twenty years. I see it as a kind of positive social critique. Leora Joy Jones: For how long have you practiced curation? Mali Wu: I’m not a curator. My practice is research oriented and project based. I organize events in the community. This is the first time I’ve been invited to curate such a big show. Fortunately I did not do it alone. My co-curator, Francesca Manacorda, is very experienced curating in museums, so he helped a lot in organizing the space.
