This paper presents a novel algorithm aiming at analysis and identification of faces viewed from different poses and illumination conditions. Face analysis from a single image is performed by recovering the shape and textures parameters of a 3D Morphable Model in an analysis-by-synthesis fashion. The shape parameters are computed from a shape error estimated by optical flow and the texture para...

This paper presents a method to automatically align a pose of 3D shape data to fit another shape data taken from different viewpoints. One of the difficult issues is to handle shape data which have surface information in different sides due to the difference in viewpoints, and to deal with objects in different scale. We detect local feature points on the two shape data, make potentially corresp...

the effect of metallurgical parameters influencing the susceptibility of the steel grades, used for gas and oil pipe, to hydrogen induced cracking and sulfide stress corrosion cracking has been studied. the study of the recent investigations suggests that the shape and the nature of inclusions, microstructures, sulfur content and desulfurization as well as the nature of alloying elements in ste...

In order to tackle the problem of shape design and shape adjustment of complex surfaces in engineering, continuity conditions between generalized Bézier-like surfaces with multiple shape parameters are studied in this paper. Firstly, the geometric model of the generalized Bézier-like surfaces is built by blending a number of Bézier-like curves with independent shape parameters. Secondly, based ...

In this paper, we present a novel method for face reconstruction from multi-posed face images taken under arbitrary unknown illumination conditions. Previous work shows that any face image can be represented by a set of low dimensional parameters: shape parameters, spherical harmonic basis (SHB) parameters, pose parameters and illumination coefficients. Thus, face reconstruction can be performe...

In this article, the analysis of left truncated and right censored competing risks data is carried out, under the assumption of the latent failure times model. It is assumed that there are two competing causes of failures, although most of the results can be extended for more than two causes of failures. The lifetimes corresponding to the competing causes of failures are assumed to follow Weibu...

measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence is noninvasive, highly sensitive, fast and easy way to give important information about the photosynthetic apparatus. chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and kautsky curves of wild oat and wild mustard sprayed by clodinafop and dicamba+2, 4-d respectively was investigated at two green house experiments. the results indicated significant reduction at trend...

In this paper, we analyze the planar cubic Alternative curve to determine the conditions for convex, loops, cusps and inflection points. Thus cubic curve is represented by linear combination of three control points and basis function that consist of two shape parameters. By using algebraic manipulation, we can determine the constraint of shape parameters and sufficient conditions are derived wh...

We present a robust framework for estimating non-rigid 3D shape and motion in video sequences. Given an input video sequence, and a user-specified region to reconstruct, the algorithm automatically solves for the 3D time-varying shape and motion of the object, and estimates which pixels are outliers, while learning all system parameters, including a PDF over non-rigid deformations. There are no...

This work has been contributed on the visualization of curves and surfaces for constrained data. A rational cubic function, with free shape parameters in its description, has been introduced and used. This function has been constrained to visualize the preservation of shape of the data by imposing constraints on free parameters. The rational cubic curve case has also been extended to a rational...
