In the gas discharge tube according to the present invention, there is carried out narrowing of the discharge path with cooperation of the first opening 20 and the second opening 12 in order to obtain higher luminance of light. Further, in order to maintain excellent starting-properties of a lamp even if the discharge path is narrowed, a predetermined voltage is applied to a second discharge path limit portion 11 externally. Thereby, a positive or active starting discharge is produced in such a manner as to pass through the first opening 20. Further, the second opening 12 is comprised of not only a straight section 13 extending in a direction of an optical axis Y, but also a spread section 14 extending from an end portion of the straight section 13 toward the first opening 20. The spread section 14 has a function of improving the starting properties of the lamp and forms an arc ball, and the straight section has a function of improving a plasma density. Thereby, discharge at a starting time is made easy to pass through the second discharge path limit portion 11. As a result, a rapid start of discharge between a cathode 23 and an anode portion 8 is achieved in the second discharge path limit portion 11, and that contributes to proper generation of an arc ball after lighting.

Further, an arbitrary range in one of the tubular structure extracted from the three-dimensional image and the tubular structure extracted from the three-dimensional intra-tubular-structure image is correlated with a corresponding range in the other one of the tubular structures. Further, a projection three-dimensional image is generated by projecting an image of a specific structure included in the range in the three-dimensional intra-tubular-structure image into the correlated range in the three-dimensional image.

A method, system and computer program product are provided for monitoring a communication session in a contact center. An agent follows a structured workflow while handling the communications session, and trigger events are defined which are associated with significant steps in the workflow other than (or additional to) the connection and disconnection of the agent with the session. When a trigger event is detected indicating that the agent has reached a predefined significant step in the workflow, an event notification issues to another system of the contact center, such as a statistics package, or a supervisor workstation, or an event aggregator which receives such notifications from many agent stations. In a preferred embodiment, these event notifications are used by an automated outbound dialler to more accurately predict the time to the end of a communications session, thereby providing a better outbound dialling algorithm.

A system and method for more accurately generating the surface normal calibration maps φ(AoLP) and θ(DoLP,φ) to compensate for structured scene reflections for 3-D polarimetric imaging. This is accomplished using a microfacet scattering model to develop the functional form of a polarized bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of the object surface. The ambient radiance is ray traced to the BRDF to create the calibration maps φ(AoLP) and θ(DoLP,φ), which may be combined into a single calibration map θ(DoLP, AoLP). These maps are applied to the AoLP and DoLP images to compute an array of surface normals, which are then mapped to form a 3-D image of the object.

A three-dimensional model generating system obtains altitude information corresponding to a specified building region on a building/road map. On the basis of the altitude distribution in the building region, a plane corresponding to a connected subset of observation data is obtained. After all pieces of observation data are allocated to planes, the planes are interconnected to form a simply-connected polyhedron serving as a building model. Accordingly, individual pieces of building information, which are free from the effects of a building-located region, are generated on the basis of three-dimensional terrain information and a set of planes.

Provided are an apparatus and method for generating panorama images and an apparatus and method for tracking an object using the same. The apparatus for generating panorama images estimates regional motion vectors with respect to respective lower regions set in an image frame, determines a frame motion vector by using the regional motion vectors based on a codebook storing sets of normalized regional motion vectors corresponding to a camera's motion and then accumulates motion mediating variables computed with respect to respective continuous image frames to determine an overlapping region, and matches the overlapping regions to generate a panorama image. The apparatus for tracking an object sets the panorama image generated by the apparatus for generating panorama images as a background image, and determines an object region by averaging pixel value difference values between pixels that constitute a captured input image and corresponding pixels in the panorama image. Regional motion vectors are estimated by using the coordinate of a pixel selected in lower regions, and thus a computing process can be simplified and a process speed can be increased. In addition, effects of wrongly estimated regional motion vectors can be minimized by using a codebook. Furthermore, noises are minimized and an object can be accurately extracted by using averaged pixel value difference values.
