Successfully predicting missing components (entire parts or voices) from complex multipart musical textures has attracted researchers of music information retrieval and music theory. However, these applications were limited to either two-part melody and accompaniment (MA) textures or four-part Soprano-Alto-Tenor-Bass (SATB) textures. This paper proposes a robust framework applicable to both tex...

Solid textures require large storage and are computationally expensive to synthesize. In this paper, we propose a novel solid representation called gradient solids to compactly represent solid textures, including a tricubic interpolation scheme of colors and gradients for smooth variation and a region-based approach for representing sharp boundaries. We further propose a novel approach based on...

This thesis presents contributions to two major topics in computer graphics. The first part describes new algorithms for tile-based synthesis of blue noise point sets and solid textures; the second part describes systems for capturing, viewing, and manipulating outdoor photographs. Well distributed point sets play an important role in computer graphics, as well as many other fields, since they ...

The proposed work deals with an approach to perform texture extraction of vegetables images for classification. The work has been carried out using watershed for segmentation. The vegetables textures features like red component, green component, skewness, kurtosis, variance, and energy are extracted. The method has been employed to normalize vegetable images and hence eliminating the effects of...

3D solid textures are important data for computer graphics applications, and the amount of the data is increasing. When a large number of the 3D solid textures are stored as databases, similarity search techniques and classification techniques are essential for effective use of the databases. We have applied 3D HLAC (Higher Order Local Autocorrelation) masks to 3D solid textures for extracting ...

In three experiments the perceived roughness of visual and of auditory materials was investigated. In Experiment 1, the roughness of frequency-modulated tones was determined using a paired-comparison paradigm. It was found that using this paradigm similar results in comparison to literature were found. In Experiment 2, the perceived visual roughness of textures drawn from the CUReT database was...

OBJECTIVE Eating assessment is the first step toward amelioration of eating problems in children. A quantitative evaluation tool with three standard textures of food has been developed to determine the severity of an eating problem. However, children occasionally refuse some of the standard textures. Much time and effort could be saved if substitute textures could be used for testing. The purpo...

the cities are home to half of the people who live on the planet earth. they stimulate economic growth and cultural prosperity, but they are also the center of pollution and poverty. therefore, the livability of cities, in particular urban distressed areas, has always been one of the issues and challenges facing thinkers in different fields of urban management. however, the planning to improve ...

In this paper we propose a motion based approach for synthesizing dynamic textures. Dynamic textures are natural phenomenon characterized by their distinctive motion patterns. Synthesis of these textures is thus considered as the regeneration of a motion pattern that has identical motion distribution of a source texture. In this paper we propose a synthesis technique where new textures are gene...

The objective of the present paper is to obtain an accurate classification of the textures, which did not introduce undesired merging and to develop a quick, effective and novel algorithm that should be easy to understand and implement. For this the present study advocates a new statistical method based on edge direction movement for classification of textures on the opening of the image. An ed...
