Several applications such as multiprojector displays and microscopy require the mosaicing of images (tiles) acquired by a camera as it traverses an unknown trajectory in 3D space. A homography relates the image coordinates of a point in each tile to those of a reference tile provided the 3D scene is planar. Our approach in such applications is to first perform pairwise alignment of the tiles th...

here, the concept of electric capacity on finsler spaces is introduced and the fundamentalconformal invariant property is proved, i.e. the capacity of a compact set on a connected non-compact finslermanifold is conformal invariant. this work enables mathematicians and theoretical physicists to become morefamiliar with the global finsler geometry and one of its new applications.

in this paper, i attempt to bring together approaches to literacy in theory and in practice, drawing upon various activities i have been involved in over the years–research in iranian villages during the 1970s; linking research and theory to literacy policy, with particular reference to a contribution to the unesco global monitoring report in 2004 and involvement in an ongoing adult literacy tr...

Absiruct-Effects of unmodeled high frequencg dynamics on stability and performance of adaptive control schemes are analped. In the regulation problem global stabiity properties are no longer guaranteed, but a region of attraction exists for exact adaptive regulation. The dependence of the region of attraction on unmodeled parasitics is examined first. Then the general case of model reference ad...

How do we feed the nine billion people who are projected to inhabit the Earth by 2050? the issue is one of serious concern (ash et al, 2010; Butler, 2010), as an increase in food production of up to 40% will be needed to cope with the growing population. in response, many scientists, politicians and economists have proposed a second ‘green revolution’. their call references the first green revo...

A set of bathymetry point clouds acquired by different measurement techniques at different times, having different accuracy and varying patterns of points, are approximated by an LR B-spline surface. The aim is to represent the sea bottom with good accuracy and at the same time reduce the data size considerably. In this process the point clouds must be cleaned by selecting the “best” points for...
