Crystallographic texture evolution was quantified as a function of biaxial strain level and strain path for AA5754-O sheet metal in an effort to provide a physical description of grain rotation resulting from in-plane stretching. Samples were incrementally deformed to near-failure in three strain states (equibiaxial, plane strain, and uniaxial modes) with the rolling direction (RD) and transver...

We describe a face modeling system which estimates complete facial structure and texture from a real-time video stream. The system begins with a face tracking algorithm which detects and stabilizes live facial images into a canonical 3D pose. The resulting canonical texture is then processed by a statistical model to lter imperfections and estimate unknown components such as missing pixels and ...

Feature extraction is the method of defining a set of features, which will most effectively represent the information that is important for analysis and concurrence. Gray level cooccurrence matrix (GLCM) is an important method to take out the texture features in medical image. Gray level co-occurrence matrix can simply take out the texture under single scale and single direction. However its de...

The automatic diagnosis of breast cancer (BC) is an important, real-world medical problem. This paper proposes a design of automated detection, segmentation, and classification of breast cancer nuclei using a fuzzy logic. The first step is based on segmentation using an active contour for cell tracking and isolating of the nucleus in the cytological image. Then from this nucleus, have been extr...

There are many causes of deformation in an image and one of which during its acquisition to a digital image. The deformation takes different forms or causes different effects on the acquired image comparing with the original image including poor resolution, shear, noise, variation in the intensity and etc. A paper scanned by a scanner is a good example of possible deformation in images. Consequ...

A depth estimation algorithm from plenoptic images is presented. There are two stages to estimate the depth. First is the initial estimation base on the epipolar plane images (EPIs). Second is the refinement of the estimations. At the initial estimation, adaptive window matching is used to improve the robustness. The size of the matching window is based on the texture description of the sample ...

This paper presents a multiresolution system for volumetric texture analysis. The originality of this system partially originates from its use of combinations of perceptual texture features that correspond to adjectives commonly used by humans to describe textures. To approximate these features, we use a combination of different families of texture analysis methods rather than a single texture ...

In this paper, we give an explicit method for mapping any simply connected surface onto the sphere in a manner which preserves angles. This technique relies on certain conformal mappings from differential geometry. Our method provides a new way to automatically assign texture coordinates to complex undulating surfaces. We demonstrate a finite element method that can be used to apply our mapping...

We report a case of paraganglioma of the cauda equina and review the MRI features in 11 previously published cases with MRI description. On T1-weighted images, paraganglioma is isointense relative to spinal cord and shows moderate to intense enhancement after Gd-DTPA application, usually with heterogeneous texture. On T2-weighted images, different findings were found. MRI features do not allow ...
