Drawing upon empirical experiences with a pr...

Interpreting Canvas Weave Matches

Automatic methods of calculating canvas thread counts from x-rays of paintings reveal a systematic pattern for warp and weft thread densities that persists along the respective thread directions. These patterns can be used to find paintings that have matching weave patterns, with warp-thread pattern matches more prevalent than weft-thread matches when trying to associate paintings to the same c...

An Interactive Non-Photorealistic Canvas

Within the area of non-photorealistic rendering, many techniques have been developed to simulate a wide variety of different styles. However, these styles are usually globally applied to some form of model that is provided as input and specific local interaction is often not possible. This thesis explores the application of the paradigm of modeling with rendering primitives to enable users to f...

Sensory nerve action potentials were absent. The visually enhanced vestibulo-ocular reflex (VVOR) was impaired (video on the Neurology(®) Web site at www.neurology.org, figure 1) and the diagnosis of cerebellar at...
