In the classic oblique effect contrast detection thresholds, orientation discrimination thresholds, and other psychophysical measures are found to be smallest for vertical or horizontal stimuli and significantly higher for stimuli near the +/-45 degrees obliques. Here we report a novel inverse oblique effect in which thresholds for detecting translational structure in random dot patterns [Glass...

We have developed a physically-intuitive method to calculate the local lattice constant as a function of position in a high-resolution transmission electron microscopy image by performing a two-dimensional fast Fourier transform. We apply a Gaussian filter with appropriate spatial full-width-half-max (FWHM) bandwidth to the image centered at the desired location to calculate the local lattice c...

A fast, powerful and stable filter based on combined wavelet and Fourier analysis for the elimination of horizontal or vertical stripes in images is presented and compared with other types of destriping filters. Strict separation between artifacts and original features allowing both, suppression of the unwanted structures and high degree of preservation of the original image information is ende...

there are several varieties of edge detection method. edge detection and edge enhancement techniques play an essential role in interpreting potential field data. some of common methods are: tilt angle filter (ta), total horizontal derivative of tilt angle filter (thdt), theta filter, tdx filter, hyperbolic tilt angle (hta). these filters maximum values are when facing with the edge of an anomal...

We present a novel approach to CAD/CAM integration for multi-axis machining. Instead of redefining the workpiece in terms of machining features, we generate tool paths directly by analyzing the accessibility of the surface of the part. This eliminates the problem of feature extraction. We envision this as the core strategy of a new direct and seamless CAD/ CAM system. We perform the accessibili...
