Pictorial realism has long been considered necessary in aircraft landing displays because it makes effective use of man's superior perceptual capabilities. A serious limitation to pictorially realistic two-dimensional displays is that they must be magnified to provide distance cues equivalent to those provided in scenes viewed directly. This paper presents a rationale for applying some well known concepts including prediction, quickening, frequency separation, and percent of pursuit, to the development of forward-looking cockpit displays for low-visibility curved approach and landing tasks that may permit a compromise of the magnification principle. The development of such a display system provides a unique context for the systematic study of the interrelationships among these display concepts with a high potential for scientific and applied payoffs.

Abstract Two-dimensional protein electrophoresis can benefit from a powerful set of computer-supported image processing and data structure/management procedures. Detection of quantitative differences is complicated by local inhomogeneities in the polyacrylamide base; biochemical changes and variations in temperature and preparative technique also make the between-gel density and x-y coordinate correspondences quite imprecise. The program presented here provides local alignment and computer-controlled variable “flicker” rates for multiple gels, with use of an interactive display system. Manual spot densitometry, referred to a National Bureau of Standards density wedge, can be complemented by a set of automatic densitometry routines for previously established lists of spots. The ability to establish a set of local landmarks, either by included standards or user identification, provides a basis for automatic n-way gel comparison for subsets or for the entire set of spots. Automatic segmentatin algorithms allow isolatin of spots and separation of touching and partially overlapping regions. Various analytical and statistical facilities are part of the user’s access to the interactively developed data base. The data-structure and image-manipulation techniques developed here allow for user-directed and heuristic comparisons with online presentation of intermediate and final results.

Objective: Compared with two-dimensional (2D) laparoscope systems, conventional three-dimensional (3D) systems provide a superior understanding of depth. However, they are operator limited due to difficulties with resolution and illumination. A novel third-generation (3G) 3D system may resolve these problems. We prospectively compared the operative performance and perioperative safety results of 2D and 3G 3D systems in laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN). Patients and methods: A single experienced surgeon performed 3G 3D LRN for 19 patients and 2D LRN for 16 patients. After the insertion of the access ports, the execution times of each step in the surgical procedure in the two groups were measured and compared, along with the perioperative complications. Results: Patients in the 3D group were associated with fewer complications than those in the 2D group. In particular, no peritoneal injury was observed in the 3D group (0% vs. 25%, p=0.04). Logistic regression analysis showed no significant differences between the times of each surgical step and the amount of bleeding. Conclusions: The 3G 3D laparoscope system provided a detailed anatomical view for the operator during LRN and may reduce laparoscopic complications. Level of evidence: III.
