In contrast to traditional methods based on algebraic least-square algorithms, the proposed approach aims to minimize a cost function that is derived from the minimum radius of the Hough transform. In a structured-light system with a particular stripe code pattern, there are linear constraints that the points with the same code are on the same surface. Using the Hough transform, the pixels with the same code map to the Hough space, and the radius of the intersections can be defined as the evaluation function in the optimization progress. The global optimum solution of the fundamental matrix can be estimated using a Levenberg- Marquardt optimization iterative process based on the Hough transform radius. Results illustrate the validity of this algorithm, and prove that this method can obtain good performance with high efficiency.展开更多

Body colours in general and camouflaging patterns in particular have been extensively studied for their role in stealth and crypsis. Particular interest has focused on the diverse skin patterns surrounding animals’ eyes (Peri-Ocular Eye Patterning-POEP). These patterns have been suggested to aid in high brightness conditions, help camouflage an organism’s eyes or ornament and emphasize bright head colorations. In this work I demonstrate the apparent widespread use of POEP among various marine and terrestrial organisms (both vertebrates and invertebrates) and discuss the trait’s abundance, variations, and possible roles.展开更多
