The present functional magnetic resonance imaging ( fMRI ) study investigates the neural
correlates of reachability judgements. In a block design experiment, 14 healthy participants …

Recent findings demonstrated that object perception is affected by the competition between
action representations. Simultaneous activation of distinct structural (“grasp-to-move”) and …

The composition of an image is a critical element chosen by the author to construct an image
that conveys a narrative and related emotions. Other key elements include framing, lighting, …

The estimation of image quality and noise perception still remains an important issue in
various image processing applications. It has also become a hot topic in the field of photo-…

In this paper, we present MAABAC, a generic model for building adaptive agents: they learn
new behaviors by interacting with their environment. These agents adapt their behavior by …

Unbiased global illumination methods based on stochastical techniques provide photorealistic
images. However, they are prone to noise that can only be reduced by increasing the …

The aim of realistic image synthesis is to produce high fidelity images that authentically
represent real scenes. As these images are produced for human observers, we may exploit the …

Growth chambers are used by agronomists for various experiments on plants. Because light
impinging on plants is one of the main parameters of their growth, inhomogeneity in light …

Video-microscopy is a technology widely used to follow, in a single cell manner, cell
behavior. A number of new studies are searching a way to track these behaviors by artificial …

A no-reference image quality metric detecting both blur and noise is proposed in this paper.
The proposed metric is based on IFS2 entropy applied on computer-generated images and …
