چکیده

Parallel image composition presents an attractive approach to run-time visualization of structured grid data. However, certain configurations of grid boundaries prevent composition from being performed correctly. In particular, when the boundary between two partitions contains concave sections, the partitions may no longer be depth sorted correctly, a requirement for some visualization techniques such as raycasting. If the data may be repartitioned such that it can be depth sorted correctly, then an image composition approach is a viable option. To facilitate such an operation, we present an algorithm to analyze the geometric structure of a grid boundary and extract knowledge about how the boundary impacts depth sorting and therefore image composition.

Detection of geothermal anomalies using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) thermal infrared images at Bradys Hot Springs, Nevada, USA

Surface temperature anomalies associated with geothermal activity at Bradys Hot Springs, Churchill County, Nevada were mapped using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) thermal infrared (TIR) image data. In order to highlight subsurface contributions of geothermal heat, the ASTER images were processed to minimize temperature variations caused by the diurnal hea...

A variational approach to magnetic resonance coil sensitivity estimation

A variational method for estimating a magnetic resonance coil sensitivity from its corresponding nonuniform illumination of magnetic resonance images is proposed and analyzed. The estimated sensitivity can then be used to correct nonuniformities and indeed to facilitate high-speed parallel image acquisition. The data available for estimation include two images of the same field of view but obta...

Correct by Construction Resource-based Process Composition

The need for rigorous process composition is encountered in many situations pertaining to the development and analysis of complex systems. We discuss the use of Classical Linear Logic (CLL) for correct-by-construction resource-based process composition. Abstract processes are specified as CLL sequents describing the types of input and output resources. The proofs-as-processes paradigm and its r...

An Analytical Approach to the Effect of Viscous Dissipation on Shear-Driven Flow between two parallel plates with Constant Heat Flux Boundary Conditions

An investigation has been made to analyze the effects of viscous dissipation on the heat transfer characteristics for both hydro-dynamically and thermally fully developed, laminar shear driven flow between two infinitely long parallel plates, where the upper plate is moving in an axial direction at a constant speed. On the basis of some routine assumptions made in the literature, a close form a...
