Image retargeting aims to avoid visual distortion while retaining important image content in resizing. However, current image retargeting methods usually fail in difficult situations, such as complex structures and intricate arrangements of objects. In this paper, we propose a novel image retargeting approach, which provides low visual distortion retargeting results by combining region warping ...

Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is responsible for the majority of myocardial infarctions and acute coronary syndromes. Rupture is initiated by mechanical failure of the plaque cap, and thus study of the deformation of the plaque in the artery can elucidate the events that lead to myocardial infarction. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides high resolution in vitro and in vivo cross-sectional...

Existing image stitching approaches based on global or local homography estimation are not free from the parallax problem and suffer undesired artifacts. In this paper, instead of relying homography-based warp, we propose a novel deep framework exploiting pixel-wise warp field to handle large-parallax problem. The proposed consists Pixel-wise Warping Module (PWM) Stitched Image Generating (SIGM...

INTRODUCTION: Respiratory motion is a major challenge for 3D abdominal MRI. Respiratory navigator gating is commonly used to compensate for motion, but leads to low scan efficiency. Recently, a free-breathing motion compensated technique was proposed that estimates 3D non-rigid motion from undersampled reconstructed images. This technique compensates motion by warping the undersampled images to...

This paper presents a novel framework for garment grading. In CG, an extensive amount of study has been done to clothe human characters, but little attention has been taken to the grading problem itself. For the development of a grading technique, we got the insight from the process of drawing the pattern-making draft (sloper) in the clothing field. Noting that the draft can be completely deter...

In this report, I present a complete image-based rendering system. This includes the derivation of a mapping function from first principles, an algorithm for determining the visibility of these mapped points in the resulting image, and a method for reconstructing a continuous image from these mapped points. I refer to this type of mapping function as image warping, because it processes the elem...

the finite element method is employed for the flexural-torsional linear buckling analysis of beams of arbitrarily shaped composite cross-section taking into account generalized warping (shear lag effects due to both flexure and torsion). the contacting materials, that constitute the composite cross section, may include a finite number of holes. a compressive axial load is applied to the beam. the...
