This paper presents VTMs (Vector Texture Maps), a novel representation of vector images that can be used as a texture by the GPU for real-time rendering. A VTM decomposes texture space into different regions, represented in an analytic way, by a set of implicit degree 3 polynomials. Each region can be rendered by a different fragment shading function. Accurate anti-aliasing is performed in real...

Efficient compression plays a significant role in Light Field imaging technology because of the huge amount data needed for their representation. Video encoders using different strategies are commonly used image compression. In this paper, video encoder implementations including HM, VTM, x265, xvc, VP9, and AV1 analysed compared terms coding efficiency, encoder/decoder time-complexity. field im...

Abstract Using Vehicle Thermal Management (VTM) simulations to predict the thermal load experienced by components is a popular method within automotive industry. The VTM simulation approach fast becoming equivalent conducting tests with prototypes for vehicles powered internal combustion engines. This especially true in early development phase of vehicle. accuracy plays pivotal role at them bei...

Abstract Introduction The sudden arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic placed significant stresses on supply chains including viral transport medium (VTM). VTM that was urgently required needed to support replication, as well other routine diagnostic approaches. We describe preparation and validation testing for rapidly expanding testing, where capacity preserve integrity, culture, isolation full se...

Blast furnace–basic oxygen furnace (BF–BOF) process is the predominant method for smelting vanadium titano-magnetite (VTM) in China. Hydrogen-rich (H2-rich) gas injection BF considered as an important way to reduce CO2 emission under background of low carbon metallurgy. In this paper, softening–melting behaviors VTM sinter H2–rich gases were investigated by determination its reduction softening...

The concept of Augmented Reality (AR) displays is defined, in relation to the amount of real (unmodelled) and virtual (modelled) data presented in an image, as those displays in which real images, such as video, are enhanced with computer generated graphics. For the important class of stereoscopic AR displays, several factors may cause potential perceptual ambiguities, however, which manifest t...

In an increasingly connected world, consumer video experiences have diversified away from traditional broadcast into new applications with increased use of non-camera-captured content such as computer screen desktop recordings or animations created by rendering, collectively referred to content. There has also been graphics and character that is rendered mixed overlaid together camera-generated...

This paper presents the results of a laboratory-based experimental investigation on properties asphalt binder and hot-mix (HMA) mixes modified by locally available crumb rubber, which was used as partial replacement weight. In this study, fine rubber with particle size in range 0.3–0.6 mm, obtained from scrap tires, added to through wet process. Crumb contents 5%, 10%, 15%, 19% weight were virg...

Gait recognition is one of behavioral biometrics and has an advantage over the other biometrics in terms that it can be used even at a distance from a camera. Accuracies of the gait recognition, however, degrade if observation views of matching pairs of gaits are different. In order to suppress the accuracy degradation, a family of view transformation models (VTMs) for the gait recognition have...
