Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is the only way to evaluate deformation of the Earth’s surface from space on the order of centimeters and millimeters due to its coherent nature and short wavelengths. Hence, by this means the long term risk monitoring and security are performed as precisely as possible. Traditional SAR imaging delivers a projection of the 3-D object to the two dimensional (2-D) a...

This paper proposes a semi-automatic image-based approach for 3-dimensional (3D) modeling of buildings along streets. Image-based urban 3D modeling techniques are typically based on the use of aerial and ground-level images. The aerial image of the relevant area is extracted from publically available sources in Google Maps by stitching together different patches of the map. Panoramic images are...

Our previous study demonstrated that in the small intestine of guinea pigs, apoptotic epithelial cells at the villus tips were phagocytosed by lamina propria macrophages, leaving only apical cytoplasmic plates, which thereafter were domed and extruded into the lumen. This finding contrasts with the generally accepted view that effete epithelial cells are simply exfoliated into the lumen. In ord...

typology solution in architecture science seeks classifying constructions and spaces in terms of join features. typology studies can be infrastructure of design in micro and minor levels. therefore being oblivious of it in architecture and city planning can lead to state of chaos in urban aspect and makes heterogeneous urban textures. current paper seeks to find factors influencing on formation...

Rendering a large number of 2D textures in real-time requires reducing the overhead of a large number of draw calls on the CPU caused by binding different textures when drawing. Texture atlases are used to avoid switching textures by packing textures into one larger texture before rendering. Graphics hardware APIs limit the size of a texture, so textures need to be partitioned into multiple atl...

studies on urban policy making are widespreading in the developed countries. however, these studies have not been widely established in iran yet. this article is, therefore, an attempt to attract the attention of specialists and students of public policy in iran on the importance of such studies. tehran, one of the largest metropolitans of the world, rightly provides a relevant context to capit...

Recent deep learning based approaches have shown promising results for the challenging task of inpainting large missing regions in an image. These methods can generate visually plausible image structures and textures, but often create distorted structures or blurry textures inconsistent with surrounding areas. This is mainly due to ineffectiveness of convolutional neural networks in explicitly ...
