Simultaneous perception of audio and visual stimuli often causes the concealment or misrepresentation of information actually contained in these stimuli. Such effects are called the ''image proximity effect'' or the ''ventriloquism effect'' in literature. Until recently, most research carried out to understand their nature was based on subjective assessments. The Authors of this paper propose a methodology based on both subjective...

This paper presents a new methodology of conducting the audio-visual correlation analysis employing the gaze tracking system. Interaction between two perceptual modalities, seeing and hearing, their interaction and mutual reinforcement in a complex relationship was a subject of many research studies. Earlier stage of the carried out experiments at the Multimedia Systems Department (MSD) showed that there exists a relationship between...

The paper presents a study on music mood categorization. First, a review of music mood models is presented. Then, the preparation of a set of music excerpts to be used in the experiments and music parametrization is described. Next, some listening tasks performed to obtain mood descriptors are introduced. Finally,the correlation between mood descriptors and features extracted from parameters is discussed. The paper concludes with...

This paper investigates a new approach to audio-visual correlation assessment based on the gaze-tracking system developed at the Multimedia Systems Department (MSD) of Gdansk University of Technology (GUT). The gaze-tracking methodology, having roots in Human-Computer Interaction borrows the relevance feedback through gaze-tracking and applies it to the new area of interests, which is Quality of Experience. Results of subjective...

W artykule przedstawiono analizę korelacji pomiędzy częstością akcji serca (HR) i ciśnieniem krwi (BP). Wykorzystano rzeczywiste pomiary ciśnienia skurczowego i rozkurczowego krwi zmierzonego metodą inwazyjną w tętnicy promieniowej. Ze względu na możliwe zaszumienie sygnału przeanalizowano także dane po filtracji filttrem uśredniającycm oraz wykonano analizę trendów sygnałów. Wyniki analizy zarówno danych pomiarowych jak i filtrowanych...
