3D reconstruction and modeling techniques based on computer vision show a significant improvement in recent decades. Despite the great variety, a majority of these techniques depend on specific photographic collections or video footage. For example, most are designed for large data collections, overlapping photos, captures from turntables or photos with lots of detectable features such as edges...

An ensemble of simulations of the climate of the past millennium conducted with a three-dimensional climate model of intermediate complexity are constrained to follow temperature histories obtained from a recent compilation of well-calibrated surface temperature proxies using a simple data assimilation technique. Those simulations provide a reconstruction of the climate of the Arctic that is co...

A method of reconstruction (ART) has recently been proposed (Gordon, Bender & Herman, 1970) which consists in Qeratively changing a trial structure until its projections are consistent tith the original projections of the unknown structure. It is shown that in general ART produces errcneous reconstructions. An alternative itetative method is proposed which will give correct reconstructions unde...

This paper discusses the phyletic interpretation of the genus Phricodoceras and its taxonomic classification at the subfamily, family, and superfamily levels from an historical and critical perspective. First a review of the latest findings on this taxon is presented and the grounds for the attribution of Phricodoceras to the Schlotheimiidae (Psiloceratoidea) are summarized and illustrated. Thi...

purpose t1wi (t1 weighted image) was acquired in order to grade bone fusion following the studies by fifa (federation internationale de football associations). research using images other than t1wi has not been reported. the aim of this study is to evaluate the grade of epiphyseal fusion by t2* weighted images (t2*wi) and to investigate new findings on t2*wi as compared with t1wi. methods a tot...

Background and Purpose:  Due to the important role of imaging in the diagnosis and treatment plan in orthodontics, CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) images because of their three-dimensional nature, can minimize the disadvantages of two-dimensional images such as magnification, distortion, or superimposition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of conventional cephalograms...

Due to the pervasiveness of image capturing devices in every-day life, images individuals are routinely captured. Although this has enabled many benefits, it also infringes on personal privacy. A promising direction research obfuscation facial been work k-same family methods which employ concept k-anonymity from database However, there a number deficiencies that carry over methods, detracting t...

objective: after introduction of digital radiography into dentistry several methods of image acquisition were accessible in the field of dentistry. in many instances it is necessary to digitize analog images. there is no overall acceptable method for image digitization so all different types of images can be comparable. the objective of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of diffe...

Introduction: Nowadays applying computer in image processing is being improved revolutionary for solving medical images deficiencies. Image features that are analysis in image processing show image information. The aim of the present study was to find correlation between CT- scan and MRI images' features. Materials and Methods: After data acquisition, applying...
