In neighborhood-based texture synthesis, adjacent local regions need to satisfy color continuity constraints in order to avoid visible seams. Such continuity constraints seriously restrict the variability of synthesized textures, making it impossible to generate new textures by mixing multiple input textures with very different base colors. In this paper, we propose to relax such restrictions a...

The Gestalt law of "good continuation" has been used to describe a variety of phenomena demonstrating the importance of continuity in human perception. In this study, we consider how continuity may be represented by a visual system that filters spatial data using arrays of cells selective for orientation and spatial frequency. Many structures (e.g. fractal contours) show a form of redundancy wh...

The nonlinear interaction of the two lowest Trivelpiece–Gould modes in a non-neutral plasma has been observed. Because of coupling in the nonlinear terms of the continuity and momentum equations, the two modes can exchange energy and convert one to the other. This can be modeled using the cold fluid equations and the averaging method. Experimentally, this process always stops with the lower fre...

Frequency-space domain full-wave tomography is a promising technique for delineating detailed subsurface structure with high resolution. However, this method requires criteria for the selection of a set of optimal temporal frequency components, to achieve stability in the sequence of inversion processes together with computational efficiency. We propose a method of selecting optimal temporal fr...
