      Mitchell, Jason Paul; Dodson, Chad S.; Schacter, Daniel L. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2005)
      Misattribution refers to the act of attributing a memory or idea to an incorrect source, such as successfully remembering a bit of information but linking it to an inappropriate person or time [Jacoby, L. L., Kelley, C., ...

    • Focal Flow: Measuring Distance and Velocity with Defocus and Differential Motion 

      Alexander, Emma; Guo, Qi; Koppal, Sanjeev; Gortler, Steven J.; Zickler, Todd (Springer International Publishing, 2016)
      We present the focal flow sensor. It is an unactuated, monocular camera that simultaneously exploits defocus and differential motion to measure a depth map and a 3D scene velocity field. It does so using an optical-flow-like, ...
