We propose a new approach, called the Propagation Algorithm, for the image-based rendering (IBR) application that synthesizes novel images, as taken by virtual cameras at arbitrary viewpoints, using a set of acquired images. The Propagation Algorithm proactively propagates all available information from actual cameras to virtual cameras, using the depth information at all or some of intensity p...

In image based rendering (IBR), a 3D scene is recorded through a set of photos, and a novel view is rendered by assembling data from the photo set. Compression is essential to reduce the huge data amount of IBR. In this paper, we examine three categories of IBR compression algorithms: the block coder, the reference coder and the high dimensional transform (wavelet) coder. It is observed that th...

BackgroundPrevious studies have shown that breast cancer patients with a low socioeconomic status (SES) are less likely to undergo postmastectomy immediate reconstruction (IBR). However, these were performed in countries unequal access healthcare. Therefore, the aim of this study was investigate whether SES also contributes likelihood receiving IBR country equal healthcare.Materials and methods...

Identity-based revocation (IBR) is a specific kind of broadcast encryption that can effectively send a ciphertext to a set of receivers. In IBR, a ciphertext is associated with a set of revoked users instead of a set of receivers and the maximum number of users in the system can be an exponential value in the security parameter. In this paper, we reconsider the general method of Lee, Koo, Lee, ...

Hiprabovis IBR Marker Live was eligible for the submission of a dossier for granting of a Community marketing authorisation via the centralised procedure under Article 3.1 of Regulation (EC) No. 726/2004 as the antigen is obtained through recombinant DNA technology. The company Laboratorios Hipra S.A. submitted an application to the EMEA on 3 March 2009 for the granting of a Community marketing...

BACKGROUND In order to optimise the cost-effectiveness of active surveillance to substantiate freedom from disease, a new approach using targeted sampling of farms was developed and applied on the example of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) and enzootic bovine leucosis (EBL) in Switzerland. Relevant risk factors (RF) for the introduction of IBR and EBL into Swiss cattle farms were identi...

Considering the psychosocial benefits obtained with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR)1, this procedure has been increasingly applied in Brazil, mainly in the immediate surgical context. The two main modalities of IBR used are the ones that employ autogenous tissue or artificial breast implants or expanders. There is no consensus regarding the ideal time to carry out the IBR within the multi...

ÐIn this paper, we consider accelerated rendering of high quality walkthrough animation sequences along predefined paths. To improve rendering performance, we use a combination of a hybrid ray tracing and Image-Based Rendering (IBR) technique and a novel perception-based antialiasing technique. In our rendering solution, we derive as many pixels as possible using inexpensive IBR techniques with...

Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1) is the causative agent of respiratory and genital tract infections such as infectious rhinotracheitis (IBR), infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IPV, balanoposthitis (IBP), and abortion. Despite of a pronounced immune response, the virus is never eliminated from an infected host but establishes life-long latency and may be reactivated at intervals. Europe has ...
