One of the mos t significant concerns of urban planners, at metropolitan cities, especially in old and worn out textures, is the reduction of the quality of life and the environment, so they are always seeking for a way to improve these qualities. Low level of available services and amenities, besides physical and social disorders, have caused numerous problems and have totally become as import...

Skeletal muscle tissue engineering is a promising interdisciplinary specialty which aims at the reconstruction of skeletal muscle loss caused by traumatic injury congenital defects or tumor ablations. Due to the difficulty in procuring donor tissue, the possibilities for alternative treatment like autologous grafting (e.g. muscle flaps) are limited. This process also presents consistent problem...

This paper examines the problem of estimating surface shape from texture in situations in which there are multiple textures present due to texture discontinuities, occlusion, and pseudo-transparency (for example looking through a picket fence at a textured surface). Previous shape-from-texture methods that use changes in the spatial frequencyrepresentation of neighboring image patches assume th...

Dynamic textures are spatial-temporal processes that exhibit statistical stationarity or stochastic repetitiveness in the temporal dimension. In this paper, we study the problem of modeling and synthesizing dynamic textures using a generative version of the convolution neural network (ConvNet or CNN) that consists of multiple layers of spatial-temporal filters to capture the spatial-temporal pa...

in this paper, a new method is presented for the detection of defects in random textures. in the training stage, the feature vectors of the normal textures’ images are extracted by using the optimal response of gabor wavelet filters, and their probability density is estimated by means of the gaussian mixture model (gmm). in the testing stage, similar to the previous stage,at  first, the feature...
