چکیده

We present a novel five source near-infrared photometric stereo 3D face capture device. The accuracy of the system is demonstrated by a comparison with ground truth from a commercial 3D scanner. We also use the data from the five captured images to model the Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) in order to synthesise images from novel lighting directions. A comparison of these synthetic images created from modelling the BRDF using a three layer neural network, a linear interpolation method and the Lambertian model is given, which shows that the neural network proves to be the most photo-realistic.

Estimation of groundwater level using a hybrid genetic algorithm-neural network

In this paper, we present an application of evolved neural networks using a real coded genetic algorithm for simulations of monthly groundwater levels in a coastal aquifer located in the Shabestar Plain, Iran. After initializing the model with groundwater elevations observed at a given time, the developed hybrid genetic algorithm-back propagation (GA-BP) should be able to reproduce groundwater ...

Estimation of Cadmium and Uranium in a stream sediment from Eshtehard region in Iran using an Artificial Neural Network

Considering the importance of Cd and U as pollutants of the environment, this study aims to predict the concentrations of these elements in a stream sediment from the Eshtehard region in Iran by means of a developed artificial neural network (ANN) model. The forward selection (FS) method is used to select the input variables and develop hybrid models by ANN. From 45 input candidates, 13 and 14 ...
