In micro-lens-array-based light-field imaging, the micro-lens centers serve as the origins of local micro-lens coordinate systems. Each micro-lens receives angular/depth information coded according to its center location. Therefore, the errors in positioning the micro-lens centers will lead to errors in depth estimation. This paper proposes a method that resolves error propagation from raw light-field data to depth estimation based on analyzing large amounts of simulated images with various aperture sizes, noise levels, and object distance values. The simulation employs backward ray tracing and Monte Carlo sampling to improve computational efficiency. The errors are counted and accumulated stepwise from center positioning and generation of sub-aperture images to depth estimation. The disparity errors calculated during depth estimation are shown to be more apparent either with more significant center positioning errors or with a greater defocusing distance. An experiment using an industrial light-field camera is conducted, confirming that disparity errors at considerable object distances can be reduced significantly when the micro-lens centers are positioned with higher accuracy.

Background: Social prescribing link workers support individuals to engage with community resources, co-creating achievable goals. Most schemes are community-based, targetting adults. Vulnerable populations including hospitalized children with neurodisability and their families, could also benefit from social prescribing.

The existence of biases in visual perception and their impact on visually guided actions has long been a fundamental yet unresolved question. Evidence revealing perceptual or visuomotor biases has typically been disregarded because such biases in spatial judgments can often be attributed to experimental measurement confounds. To resolve this controversy, we leveraged the visuomotor system's adaptation mechanism - triggered only by a discrepancy between visual estimates and sensory feedback - to directly indicate whether systematic errors in perceptual and visuomotor spatial judgments exist.

To explore in depth the characteristics of the risk factors for diabetes and prediabetes pathogenesis and progression in special regions. We investigated medical data from 160 thousand cases in the newly developing urban area of a large modern city from 2015 to 2021. After excluding the population with incomplete data, a total of 47,608 people who underwent physical examinations and blood tests were included in this study.

An accurate assessment of leachate levels necessitates the integration of various parameters. Traditional geophysical prospecting methods often lack measurable accuracy because they focus on individual parameters rather than effectively integrating data. This may lead to inconsistent estimates of leachate depth and make the evaluation of prediction reliability challenging.

Sand, shaping both natural waterways and urban infrastructure, has recently seen a major surge in extraction, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions like West Africa. To assess the organization, quantification, and socio-ecological implications of sand mining around Mali's capital Bamako, we employed a mixed methods approach including structured and unstructured interviews, truck counts, turbidity analyses, and river depth measurements. Our study identified five artisanal systems for mining sand and gravel from the Niger River, using tied-up pirogues, single pirogues, carts, tractors, and trucks.
