This paper describes a new method to automatically generate digital bas-reliefs with depth-of-field effects from general scenes. Most previous methods for bas-relief generation take input in the form of 3D models. However, obtaining 3D models of real scenes or objects is often difficult, inaccurate, and time-consuming. From this motivation, we developed a method that takes as input a set of pho...

Organisms of the third domain of life, the Archaea, share molecular characteristics both with Bacteria and Eukarya. These organisms attract scientific attention as research models for regulation and evolution of processes such as transcription, translation, and RNA processing. We have reconstructed the primary transcriptome of Sulfolobus solfataricus P2, one of the most widely studied model arc...

The scale and rotation invariance properties of a recently proposed algorithm, using the fuzzy evidence accumulation principle, for finding lines (ridges) of non-parametric shapes is analysed. The proposed modifications consist in scaling the accumulated value with the inverse of the line width and further fuzzifying the accumulation process – along the line width. Good invariance properties re...

In this study, we describe the use of the self-organizing map (SOM) as a metamodeling technique to design a parallel text data exploration system. Firstly, the large textual collections are divided into various small data subsets. Based on the different subsets, different unitary SOM models, i.e., base models, are then trained for word clustering map. In this phase, different SOM models are imp...

A geologic map is a fundamental scientific tool that shows the distribution of geologic material. This study used data gathered at Seven Mile Creek Park to make a geologic map. This data examines the relationships between ravine cutting, terrace development, and base level in a tributary to the Minnesota River, known as Seven Mile Creek. Within the Park there is an extensive network of ravines ...
