The Dynamical Distinction between Elliptical and Lenticular Galaxies in Distant Clusters: Further Evidence for the Recent Origin of S0 Galaxies
We examine resolved spectroscopic data obtained with the Keck II telescope
for 44 spheroidal galaxies in the fields of two rich clusters, Cl0024+16
(z=0.40) and MS0451-03 (z=0.54), and contrast this with similar data for 23
galaxies within the redshift interval 0.3<z<0.65 in the GOODS northern field.
For each galaxy we examine the case for systemic rotation, derive central
stellar velocity dispersions sigma and photometric ellipticities, epsilon.
Using morphological classifications obtained via Hubble Space Telescope imaging
as the basis, we explore the utility of our kinematic quantities in
distinguishing between pressure-supported ellipticals and
rotationally-supported lenticulars (S0s). We demonstrate the reliability of
using the v/(1-epsilon) vs sigma and v/sigma vs epsilon distributions as
discriminators, finding that the two criteria correctly identify 63%+-3% and
80%+-2% of S0s at z~0.5, respectively, along with 76%+8-3% and 79%+-2% of
ellipticals. We test these diagnostics using equivalent local data in the Coma
cluster, and find that the diagnostics are similarly accurate at z=0. Our
measured accuracies are comparable to the accuracy of visual classification of
morphologies, but avoid the band-shifting and surface brightness effects that
hinder visual classification at high redshifts. As an example application of
our kinematic discriminators, we then examine the morphology-density relation
for elliptical and S0 galaxies separately at z~0.5. We confirm, from kinematic
data alone, the recent growth of rotationally-supported spheroidals. We discuss
the feasibility of extending the method to a more comprehensive study of
cluster and field galaxies to z~1, in order to verify in detail the recent
density-dependent growth of S0 galaxies.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, updated with version accepted to Ap
New spatiotemporal method for assessing video quality
The existence of temporal effects and temporal distortions in a video differentiate the way it is assessed from an image. Temporal effects and distortions can enhance or depress the visibility of spatial effects in a video. Thus, the temporal part of videos plays a significant role in determining the video quality. In this study, a spatiotemporal video quality assessment (VQA) method is proposed due to the importance of temporal effects and distortions in assessing video quality. Instead of measuring the frame quality on a frame basis, the quality of several averaged frames is measured. The proposed spatiotemporal VQA method is significantly improved compared with image quality assessment (IQA) methods applied on a frame basis. When combined with IQA methods, the proposed spatiotemporal VQA method has comparable performance with state-of-the-art VQA methods. The computational complexity of the proposed temporal method is also lower when compared with current VQA methods
An error-based video quality assessment method with temporal information
t Videos are amongst the most popular online media for Internet users nowadays. Thus, it is of utmost importance that the videos transmitted through the internet or other transmission media to have a minimal data loss and acceptable visual quality. Video quality assessment (VQA)
is a useful tool to determine the quality of a video without human intervention. A new VQA method, termed as Error and Temporal Structural Similarity (EaTSS), is proposed in this paper. EaTSS is based on a combination of error signals, weighted Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and difference of temporal information. The error signals are used to weight the computed SSIM map and subsequently to compute the quality score. This is a better alternative to the usual SSIM index, in which the quality score is computed as the average of the SSIM map. For the temporal information, the second-order time-differential information are used for quality score computation. From the experiments, EaTSS is found to have competitive performance and faster computational speed compared to other existing VQA algorithms
