A GPU-based visualization approach is presented to show the discrepancies between the 3D model and the fabrication of that model. To show the differences, a 3D scanner is constructed to scan the fabrication for comparison with the 3D model. To compare the detailed diffe...

In this paper we propose a simple method for generating standard type linear barcodes from facial images. The method uses the difference in gradients of image brightness. It involves averaging the gradients into a limited number of intervals, quantization of the results into...

This paper suggests one method to process fMRI time series based on Bayesian inference for group analysis. The method is based on Bayesian inference to divide group into multilevel by session, subject and group levels. It compares covariance to select prior to reinforce ...

Just as image data compression is designed to save space while preserving the essence of an image, we present an adaptive pyramidal rendering scheme designed to save rendering time while maintaining acceptable image quality. Our coarse-to-fine scheme predicts when and where it&#x...

More and more often the clients and the decision makers, require that the designers provide charts with realistic representations of the buildings from the earliest stages of design. Some of the requirements demanded to the specialists involved in the construction industry are&#x...

The standard starting point for the extraction of information from human face image data is the detection of key anatomical landmarks, which is a vital initial stage for several applications, such as face recognition, facial analysis and synthesis. Locating facial landmarks in&#x...

We describe a system that is able to efficiently render large-scale particle-based granular terrains in real-time. This is achieved by integrating a particle-based granular terrain simulation with a heightfield-based terrain system, effectively creating a level of detail system. By quickly...

In computer graphics and in industrial context, Mass-Spring model is used to obtain fast and visual results in physical simulations. A disadvantage of the method is to obtain accurate result on account of the difficulty to define parameters of a Mass-Spring Model. Different&...

In this work, we discuss and evaluate the reliability of first order uncertainty propagation results in context of spherical Structure from Motion, concluding that they are not valid without restrictions, but depend on the choice of the objective function. We furthermore show...
