Object removal by image inpainting aims at the visual uniformity of the inpainted blanks among their surroundings. Most inpainting algorithms pursue the structure continuity and texture similarity only in color. In this paper we take the view depth continuity into account and propose a depth-guided inpainting algorithm, in which a single color image and its associated disparity map are inpainte...

manual planting of sugar-beet stecklings is a very laborious and time-consuming opera-tion. to overcome the problems, and decrease the cost of operation to a reasonable level, a semi-automatic steckling transplanter was designed. the suitability of the steckling trans-planter with regard to the agrotechnical requirements of sugar-beet stecklings was stud-ied and the main field performance param...

Variations in the spectral shape of underwater irradiance at a fixed depth can be used to describe changes in water column constituents, such as chlorophyll concentration. However, random fluctuations of the depth of the monitoring sensor, caused by current variations, makes interpretation more challenging. Even in homogeneous water, the spectral underwater light field varies with depth because...

We give a quantitative analysis of Gödel’s functional interpretation and its monotone variant. The two have been used for the extraction of programs and numerical bounds as well as for conservation results. They apply both to (semi-)intuitionistic as well as (combined with negative translation) classical proofs. The proofs may be formalized in systems ranging from weak base systems to arithmeti...

It is known that one of the essential building blocks of turbo codes is the interleaver and its design using random, semi-random (S-Random) and deterministic permutations. In this paper, two new types of turbo code interleavers, Enhanced Block S-Random (EBSR) interleaver is proposed. The design algorithm for the new interleaver is described in depth, and the simulation results are compared to t...

shallot (allium altissimum regel.) is a medicinal, industrial and perennial plant that has underground tubers. it is one of the most important allium species in iran, which normally grows in semi-cold to very cold highlands. because of being a wild plant, shallot is encounter with water deficit during its growth season. therefore evaluation of water requirement of shallot is important. in order...

Water properties critical to our understanding and managing of freshwater systems change rapidly with depth. This work presents an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based method of keeping a passive, cable-suspended sensor payload at a precise depth, with 95% of submerged sensor readings within ±8.4 cm of the target depth, helping dramatically increase the spatiotemporal resolution of water science...

The spin polarization of Sb overlayers on the semi-Heusler alloy NiMnSb is investigated in terms of the Landau-Ginzburg approach. The half-metallic semi-Heusler alloy NiMnSb acts as a ferromagnetic perturbation and induces a spin polarization in the semimetallic Sb overlayer. Using a Gaussian approximation, the propagation of the spin perturbation in the overlayer is calculated. The results are...

Amodel is proposed for describing the penetration of a monolithic semi-infinite and finite FRP laminates struck transversely by a rigid projectile with an arbitrary 3-D shape. Relationships for calculating the characteristics of penetration and perforation (ballistic limit velocity, depth of penetration, etc.) are derived. It is showed that some typical problems of optimization of the shape of ...
