Abstract Two-region image segmentation is the process of dividing an into two regions interest, i.e., foreground and background. To this aim, Chan et al. (SIAM J Appl Math 66(5):1632–1648, 2006) designed a model well suited for smooth images. One drawback that it may produce bad when contains oscillatory components. Based on cartoon-texture decomposition to be segmented, we propose new able acc...

An ultrafine/nano grained AZ31 magnesium alloy was produced through four-pass ECAP processing. TEM microscopy indicated that recrystallized regions included nano grains of 75 nm. Pole figures showed that a fiber basal texture with two-pole peaks was developed after four passes, where a basal pole peak lies parallel to the extrusion direction (ED) and the other ~20° away from the transverse dire...

A novel genetic algorithm (GA) is presented here that performs level set curve evolution using texture and shape information to automatically segment the prostate on pelvic images in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging modalities. Here, the segmenting contour is represented as a level set function. The contours in a typical level set evolution are deformed by minimizing an energy...

The evolution of microstructure and texture during isochronal annealing of a heavily cold rolled Al–0.3% Cu alloy has been characterized using electron backscatter diffraction. It is found that the rolling texture of this alloy is dominated by the Brass component and that recrystallization during annealing leads to the formation of a pronounced Goss texture. It is suggested that the development...

We introduce a two-stream model for dynamic texture synthesis. Our model is based on pre-trained convolutional networks (ConvNets) that target two independent tasks: (i) object recognition, and (ii) optical flow prediction. Given an input dynamic texture, statistics of filter responses from the object recognition ConvNet encapsulates the per frame appearance of the input texture, while statisti...

Heating rate during crystallization is known to affect the final texture obtained in lead zirconate titanate thin films. The transient/intermediate phases present in the thin film during perovskite phase nucleation have been suggested to cause this variation in texture with heating rate. To understand the interrelationship between the transient/intermediate phases and the texture in the final p...

The texture evolution accompanied by grain growth was investigated in a nanocrystalline Fe-78wt%Ni alloy, namely permalloy fabricated by using an electrodeposition method. The as-deposited specimen revealed a strong <100>//ND and a weak <111>//ND fibre-type textures. Grain growth took place during annealing beyond 370°C and resulted in the texture change such that the <111>//ND fibre strongly d...

In this paper a novel algorithm for sound texture synthesis is presented. The goal of this algorithm is to produce new examples of a given sampled texture, the synthesized textures being of any desired duration. The algorithm is based on a montage approach to synthesis in that the synthesized texture is made up of pieces of the original sample concatenated together in a new sequence. This monta...

Material property evolution during processing is governed by the evolution of the underlying microstructure. We present an efficient technique for tailoring texture development and thus, optimizing properties in forming processes involving polycrystalline materials. The deformation process simulator allows simulation of texture formation using a continuum representation of the orientation distr...
