The restoration of wooden artworks often requires high resolution 3D close-range elevation models. This work shows in that context some experience developed for the survey of Donatello’s wooden statue “La Maddalena”. A conventional close-range photogrammetric survey was carried out for the post elaboration of 3D high resolution cloud points data obtained by a fringe interferometric system devic...

Creation of recycle-based society is an important factor in order to resolve geoenvironmental issues that are happening recently. A general recycling method for wooden materials is to make engineered board from wasted woods. For example, particle board, fiber board, ply board are used widely in architectural industry and so on. However, these boards contain chemical compounds such as urea resin...

This paper focuses on lighting dimensioning and lighting quality of traffic lighting. The work considers the factors that are important in creating optimal lighting conditions and luminous environment for night-time driving. The work is based on simulating, measuring and analyzing traffic lighting. The work introduces a new method for road luminance measurements and analysis. For simulation of ...

The goal of this study was to examine how different light combinations and timing of supplemental lighting affect the vegetative and reproductive responses of pansy (Viola × wittrockiana Rose). The present study was designed as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized block design with three replications and two factors of timing of supplemental lighting (night-interrupt...

We investigate how lighting can be used to influence how the personality of virtual characters is perceived. We propose a character-centric lighting system composed of three dynamic lights that can be configured using an interactive editor. To study the effect of character-centric lighting on observers, we created four lighting configurations derived from the photography and film literature. A ...

We propose a lighting system which adjusts lighting colors. The lighting system adjusting colors is a system that provides required illuminance and lighting color at an appropriate location. This system consists of many intelligent lighting with RGB fluorescent lamps, many chroma sensors and an electric power meter. These equipments are connected to a network. The chroma sensor can measure the ...

This paper describes the development of a new tool called hdrscope that enables users to perform qualitative and quantitative lighting analysis via perpixel methods. Using a simulated and photographically captured lab space as a case study, per-pixel analysis methods are described, challenges associated with per-pixel lighting analysis are discussed, and hdrscope analysis techniques are demonst...

Our aim is to development of the inspection system of wooden chopsticks, and in this paper, we develop the prototype for high-class disposable wooden chopsticks by computer vision technology. We propose a method of inspecting the four items of fine grain sample, coarse grain sample, unpeeled sample, and defective sample. Moreover, we addressed not only the proposal of the algorithm but developm...
