The Effect of Radiometric Correction on Multicamera Algorithms

We present results confirming the importance of radiometric correction in multicamera applications. Although, we compensate for systematic noise only, we review all noise sources in the video sensor (systematic and random). We use a simple model for radiometric correction of digital images. The correction procedure is tested on the disparity map computation in stereo matching, particularly in a case where stereo usually fails -- almost textureless white surface. Without correcting radiometricly, the matching algorithm matches systematic noise components in the two images. With the correction, after removing the systematic noise, an improvement of 26% to 59% in relative rms of the disparity map is demonstrated (the higher the intensity of the flat field, the better the improvement)

An educational psychological perspective on partner roles in heterosexual marriages

Contemporary and traditional sex roles differ in clarity. As such couples find it difficult to share these sex roles because of beliefs and attitudes they hold about them. In an attempt to generate guidelines with regard to the complementary sharing of these roles, sex differences and the nature of sex roles were discussed. Although men and women are similar in some respects, they however have fundamental unchangeable differences. Sex roles on the other hand, have changed drastically over the years. Data was gathered through the use of interviews. The result of this study indicates that men and women hold conflicting beliefs and attitudes concerning the sharing of sex roles. A set of guidelines have been formulated to assist couples to share their sex roles in a complementary way so as to make their homes authentic primary educational environments..Psychology of EducationM.
