In this paper, the authors describe how they use an electric bass as a subtle, expressive and intuitive interface to browse the rich sample bank available to most laptop owners. This is achieved by audio mosaicing of the live bass performance audio, through corpus-based concatenative synthesis (CBCS) techniques, allowing a mapping of the multi-dimensional expressivity of the performance onto fo...

This paper presents a system for controlling audio mosaicing with a voice signal, which can be interpreted as a further step in voice-driven sound synthesis. Compared to voice-driven instrumental synthesis, it increases the variety in the synthesized timbre. Also, it provides a more direct interface for audio mosaicing applications, where the performer voice controls rhythmic, tonal and timbre ...

This paper proposes a non-photorealistic rendering method that creates an artistic effect called mosaicing. The proposed method converts images provided by the user into the mosaic images. Commercial image editing applications also provide a similar function. However, these applications often trade results for low-cost computing. It is desirable to create high quality images even if the computa...

In this paper, a spatial domain based super-resolution mosaicing system and its evaluation results are presented. This algorithm incorporates two main algorithms, an image mosaicing algorithm and a super-resolution-reconstruction algorithm. Huber-based prior information is used to address the ill-posed nature of the super resolution problem. To test the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, fou...

When a purely rotating camera observes a general scene, overlapping views are related by a parallax-free warp which can be estimated by direct image alignment methods that iterate to optimise photoconsistency. However, building globally consistent mosaics from video has usually been tackled as an off-line task, while sequential methods suitable for real-time implementation have often suffered f...

Image mosaicing is useful for a variety of tasks in vision and computer graphics. This paper presents a complete system for mosaicing a sequence of multiple still images with some amount of overlapping between every two successive images. There are 3 contributions in this paper. First is a featureless registration method which handles rotation and translation between the images using phase corr...

Precise removal of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) with minimal damage to the surrounding normal skin is guided by the examination of frozen histology of each excision during Mohs surgery. The preparation of frozen histology is slow, requiring 20 to 45 min per excision. Confocal reflectance mosaicing may enable rapid detection of BCCs directly in surgical excisions, with minimal need for frozen hi...
