This paper discusses the making of three-dimensional geospatial data infrastructure (3D GDI) for Malaysia. The main component of the initiative is 3D city models with CityGML as the standard for data modelling, transfer and exchange. Various aspects of 3D city modelling especially on the construction of the models and texturing of facades via dynamic pulse function are described. The generated ...

One major problem of the conventional solar cells is low conversion efficiency. In this work, we have proposed a new design including hemisphere texturing on top and metallic plasmonic nanostructure under the silicon layer to enhance the optical absorption inside the photosensitive layer.    The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method has been used to investigate the interaction of light wi...

the RWTH Aachen University for reviewing this thesis and giving me the opportunity to write it in the field of Computer Graphics, which fascinates me since my first steps on the Commodore 128D. A special thanks goes to my advisor Volker Schönefeld, who got me interested in Megatexturing and Virtual Texturing. He always took some of his spare time to read my long emails and had enough patience t...

This paper presents an interactive environment for texturing surfaces of arbitrary 3D objects. By uniquely using solid textures and applying them to the surface, we do not require an explicit parameterisation in texture space. Various solid textures can be combined by building a constructive texturing tree of space partitions to define the photometric attributes at each location of the object. ...

Abstract In this thesis, we study the problem of static and dynamic multiview reconstruction and texturing, particularly focusing on real applications. First, we propose three reconstruction methods sharing the objective of estimating a representation of a static/dynamic scene from a set of multiple images/videos. Then, we consider the problem of multi-view texturing, focusing on the visual cor...

We present a number of techniques to facilitate the generation of textures for facial modeling. In particular, we address the generation of facial skin textures from uncalibrated input photographs as well as the creation of individual textures for facial components such as eyes or teeth. Apart from an initial feature point selection for the skin texturing, all our methods work fully automatical...

Copper nanowires were prepared through electrochemical template synthesis using Nucleopore polycarbonate membranes having nominal pore sizes of 800nm and 15nm diameter. The 800nm and 15nm nanowires thus grown were viewed under SEM and TEM respectively, while their FCC crystallographic structure was confirmed through X-ray and electron diffraction patterns. The X-ray diffraction peaks indicated ...

We propose and demonstrate the use of short pulsed fiber lasers in surface texturing using MHz-repetition-rate, microjoule- and sub-microjoule-energy pulses. Texturing of titanium-based (Ti6Al4V) dental implant surfaces is achieved using femtosecond, picosecond and (for comparison) nanosecond pulses with the aim of controlling attachment of human cells onto the surface. Femtosecond and picoseco...

Surface textures have various applications, such as friction/wear reduction and light absorbing enhancement. Deformation-based surface texturing has the potential of economically creating micro-scale surface textures over a large surface area. A novel desktop surface texturing system is proposed for efficiently and economically fabricating microchannels on the surface of thin sheet material for...
