This paper presents empirical support for a new observer model of inferring three-dimensional shape from monocular texture cues. By measuring observers' abilities to estimate the relative three-dimensional curvature along a textured surface from two-dimensional projected images, and concurrently examining the local spectral changes occurring in the projected image for various texture patterns, ...

The optimization of a pavement management system necessitates the knowledge on the actual values of pavement condition parameters, actual pavement condition improvement as related to the use of various rehabilitation strategies, and scope of pavement deterioration before and after rehabilitation. The data for six pavement condition parameters (bearing capacity, unevenness, rut depth, macro text...

A goal in visual neuroscience is to reveal how the visual system reconstructs the three-dimensional (3D) representation of the world from two-dimensional retinal images. Although the importance of texture gradient cues in the process of 3D vision has been pointed out, most studies concentrate on the neural process based on binocular disparity. We report the neural correlates of depth perception...

northern khorasan province is located in north-east iran. according to demarton coefficient, it is a semiarid region. arid and semi-arid or subhumid zones are characterized by temperature variations, low and erratic rainfall, periodic droughts and different associations of vegetative cover and soils. this article looks at current dry lands and general guidelines for finding the best area for dr...

Understanding the depth ordering of surfaces in the natural world is one of the most fundamental operations of the primate visual system. Surfaces that undergo accretion or deletion (AD) of texture are always perceived to behind an adjacent surface. An updated ForMotionOcclusion model (Barnes & Mingolla, 2013) includes two streams for computing motion signals and boundary signals. The two strea...

This paper proposes a phase-to-depth deep learning model to repair shadow-induced errors for fringe projection profilometry (FPP). The comprises two hourglass branches that extract information from texture images and phase maps fuses the by concatenation weights. input of proposed contains images, masks, unwrapped maps, ground truth is depth map CAD models. A loss function was chosen consider i...

in this study, some habitat characteristics of iranian rose (hulthemia persica) were studied in gonbad watershed in hamedan providence, iran. soil samples were taken by a systematic randomized method at elevation 2000-2400 m above sea level. samples were taken from 0-30 cm depth. in the laboratory, n, p, k% and organic matter (oc%), soil acidity (ph), conductivity (ec) and soil texture were det...

Time-of-Flight (ToF) depth sensing camera is able to obtain depth maps at a high frame rate. However, its low resolution and sensitivity to the noise are always a concern. A popular solution is upsampling the obtained noisy low resolution depth map with the guidance of the companion high resolution color image. However, due to the constrains in the existing upsampling models, the high resolutio...

Medicinal species of mountain’s kelavs, scientifically named (kelussia odoratissmia Mozaffar.) is an endemic species in Iran. Kelussia odoratissima is a perennial species and belongs to the umbelliferae. From the ancient times, the local and nomad societies had believed that the species traditionally have anti-ache, anti-inflation and anti-cough effects. Seed and root of this species are boiled...

Streambank erosion is an important contributor to sediment and nutrient export. This study determined total P (TP), soil-test P (Modified Morgan's, MM-P), and the degree of P saturation (DPS) in eroding riparian soils along four Lake Champlain Basin stream corridors. We investigated the relationship between these data and soil texture and with a series of GIS-derived landscape metrics. We also ...
