Real-time analysis of video signals
Many practical and experimental systems employing image processing
techniques have been built by other workers for various applications.
Most of these systems are computer-based and very few operate in a
real time environment.
The objective of this work is to build a microprocessor-based
system for video image processing. The system is used in conjunction
with an on-line TV camera and processing is carried out in real time.
The enormous storage requirement of digitized TV signals and the real
time constraint suggest that some simplification of the data must take
place prior to any viable processing. Data reduction is attained
through the representation of objects by their edges, an approach
often adopted for feature extraction in pattern recognition systems.
A new technique for edge detection by applying comparison criteria
to differentials at adjacent pixels of the video image is developed
and implemented as a preprocessing hardware unit. A circuit for the
generation of the co-ordinates of edge points is constructed to free
the processing computer of this task, allowing it more time for on-line
analysis of video signals.
Besides the edge detector and co-ordinate generator the hardware
built consists of a microprocessor system based on a Texas Instruments
T.US 9900 device, a first-in-first-out buffer store and interface
circuitry to a TV camera and display devices. All hardware modules
and their power supplies are assembled in one unit to provide a standalone
instrument.
The problem chosen for investigation is analysis of motion in a
visual scene. Aspects of motion studied concern the tracking of moving
objects with simple geometric shapes and description of their motion.
More emphasis is paid to the analysis of human eye movements and measurement of its point-of-regard which has many practical applications
in the fields of physiology and psychology. This study provides a
basis for the design of a processing unit attached to an oculometer
to replace bulky minicomputer-based eye motion analysis systems.
Programs are written for storage, analysis and display of results
in real time

Adaptive Eye Movement Control in a Simple Linguistic Task.
This dissertation pursues a computationally rational analysis of eye movements in a simple list-reading task. The strength of the computationally rational approach is in the ability to explain why certain phenomena may emerge under the assumption that behavior is an approximately optimal adaptation to the joint constraints of an organism's intrinsic computational constraints and task demands. The provided theory and model integrates a framework of lexical processing as active perception (Norris, 2006) with oculomotor constraints derived from a broad-coverage model of eye movement control in reading (Reichle, Warren & McConnell 2009). The first portion of the thesis provides experimental evidence of adaptation of fixation durations to quantitatively-expressed payoffs in a simple reading task, and adaptation in the model on the same dimension. The second portion explores spillover lexical frequency effects in the same framework and how they may emerge from a model that can adaptively allocate processing resources to information drawn from perception (foveal or parafoveal), or memory. In addition to implications for eye movement control in reading, these findings can be interpreted to bear on task adaptation in reading, as well as the adaptive use of perception and memory in a sequential sampling framework.PhDPsychologyUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

Empirical studies in translation and discourse (Volume 14)
The present volume seeks to contribute some studies to the subfield of Empirical Translation Studies and thus aid in extending its reach within the field of translation studies and thus in making our discipline more rigorous and fostering a reproducible research culture. The Translation in Transition conference series, across its editions in Copenhagen (2013), Germersheim (2015) and Ghent (2017), has been a major meeting point for scholars working with these aims in mind, and the conference in Barcelona (2019) has continued this tradition of expanding the sub-field of empirical translation studies to other paradigms within translation studies. This book is a collection of selected papers presented at that fourth Translation in Transition conference, held at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona on 19–20 September 2019

Continuity in categorization and theoretical implications
sorry for the silly error. hopefully this'll do the trick. --rickTraditional theories of cognition assume that motor action is executed in an all-or-none fashion, and has little importance for understanding cognitive representation and processing. A series of experiments and simulations presented here challenges this assumption. A relatively higher-order cognitive process, categorization, is shown to have graded effects that are reflected in manual motor output, measured through streaming x-y coordinates from mouse trajectories. Two simulations show that these effects are likely generated from a system in which cognition and action interact fluidly. Finally, theoretical implications of these experiments are drawn out. Symbolic dynamics is introduced, a potential means for reconciling both traditional and continuous accounts of cognition. A broad philosophical discussion follows, in which an integrative and pluralistic approach to cognition is proposed and briefly discussed
