Materials. The PEDOT:PSS (Clevios PH 1000, 1 wt%) aqueous dispersion was purchased from Heraeus. Waterborne polyurethane (PU) was provided by DSM (China). Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS, Sylgard 184, Dow Corning) prepolymer was prepared by mixing base silicone gel with a curing agent in a 10:1 weight ratio. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was purchased from Aladdin Chemistry Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China....

Recent works in geometric modeling show the advantage of local differential coordinates in various surface processing applications. In this paper we advocate surface representation via differential coordinates as a basis to interactive mesh editing. One of the main challenges in editing a mesh is to retain the visual appearance of the surface after applying various modifications. The differenti...

This paper presents a new enhancement technique using the fuzzy set theory for low contrast and nonuniform illumination images. A new parameter called the contrast factor which will provide information on the difference among the gray-level values in the local neighborhood is proposed. The contrast factor is measured by both local and global information to ensure that the fine details of the de...

A novel algorithm based on spatial and statistical information is proposed for the display of high-dynamic range (HDR) images. In our proposed algorithm, an image is first decomposed into a base layer and a detailed layer, which represent its smoothed and fine details, respectively. The problem of overall impression preservation is regarded as a global issue in our algorithm. Statistical-based ...

In deep neural networks with convolutional layers, each layer typically has fixed-size/single-resolution receptive field (RF). Convolutional layers with a large RF capture global information from the input features, while layers with small RF size capture local details with high resolution from the input features. In this work, we introduce novel deep multi-resolution fully convolutional neural...

This paper considers three crucial issues in processing scaled down image, the representation of partial image, similarity measure and domain adaptation. Two Gaussian mixture model based algorithms are proposed to effectively preserve image details and avoids image degradation. Multiple partial images are clustered separately through Gaussian mixture model clustering with a scan and select proc...

Ancestral processes are fundamental to modern population genetics and spatial structure has been the subject of intense interest for many years. Despite this interest, almost nothing is known about the distribution of the locations of pedigree or genetic ancestors. Using both spatially continuous and stepping-stone models, we show that the distribution of pedigree ancestors approaches a travell...

Many image processing algorithms rely on local descriptors extracted around selected points of interest. Motivated by privacy issues, several authors have recently studied the possibility of image reconstruction from these descriptors, and proposed reconstruction methods performing local inference using a database of images. In this paper we tackle the problem of image reconstruction from local...
