In this paper we overview the technology and production processes used to create “The Parthenon”, a short computer animation that visually reunites the Parthenon and its sculptural decorations, separated since the beginning of the 19th century. The film used combinations of time-of-flight laser scanning, structured light scanning, photometric stereo, inverse global illumination, photogrammetric...

Stucco decorations are among the major decorative elements of the religious structures of the Ilkhanid period in Iran.Typical examples of these decorations are found in the mausoleum of Pir-i Bakran, located some” 30 km” southwestof Isfahan. Owing to the importance of the decorative technique and its great stucco decorations, several contemporaryIslamic scholars have described the mausoleum as ...

The energy, area and excess energy of a decorated vertex in a 2D foam are calculated. The general shape of the vertex and its decoration are described analytically by a reference pattern mapped by a parametric Moebius transformation. A single parameter of control allows to describe, in a common framework, different types of decorations, by liquid triangles or 3-sided bubbles, and other non-conv...

In this work, we describe a set of coordinates on the PU(2,1)-representation variety of the fundamental group of an oriented punctured surface Σ with negative Euler characteristic. The main technical tool we use is a set of geometric invariants of a triple of flags in the complex hyperpolic plane H C . We establish a bijection between a set of decorations of an ideal triangulation of Σ and a su...

The Decoration Conjecture describes the structure of the set of braid types of Smale’s horseshoe map ordered by forcing, providing information about the order in which periodic orbits can appear when a horseshoe is created. A proof of this conjecture is given for the class of so-called lone decorations, and it is explained how to calculate associated braid conjugacy invariants which provide add...

We study the unwheeled rational Kontsevich integral of torus knots. We give a precise formula for these invariants up to loop degree 3 and show that they appear as a coloring of simple diagrams. We show that they behave under cyclic branched coverings in a very simple way. Our proof is combinatorial: it uses the results of Wheels and Wheelings and new decorations of diagrams.

We propose a software architecture for semantics-based annotation of data extracted from Web sources. Starting from the LiXto suite, which enables semi-automated extraction of XML data from regular documents, we present a solution for attaching background information to individual tags by means of so-called decorations. Decoration is carried out as an inferential activity in the formal context ...
