In this paper, we propose a real-image-based virtual studio system where a virtual environment is generated by an image-based rendering technique and then a studio scene is put in the environment based on a 3D compositing technique. The system is implemented and the validity of the system is connrmed through experiments.

We present a novel method to relight video sequences given known surface shape and illumination. The method preserves fine visual details. It requires single view video frames, approximate 3D shape and standard studio illumination only, making it applicable in studio production. The technique is demonstrated for relighting video sequences of faces.

In the paper a form-driven approach to the application development is presented. Our development environment IIS*Studio suports presented form-driven approach. It is aimed to provide the information system design and generating executable application prototypes. A form type is central IIS*Studio concept, used to model the structure and constraints of various business documents. On the one hand,...

The main aim of this paper is to discuss how the combination of Web 2.0, social media and geographic technologies can provide opportunities for learning and new forms of participation in an urban design studio. This discussion is mainly based on our recent findings from two experimental urban design studio setups as well as former research and literature studies. In brief, the web platform enab...

One barrier to the uptake of Geocomputation is that, unlike GIS, it has no system or toolbox that provides easy access to useful functionality. This paper describes an experimental environment, GeoVISTA Studio, that attempts to address this shortcoming. Studio is a Java-based, visual programming environment that allows for the rapid, programming free development of complex data exploration and ...

Clay core dams are widely applied in reservoir construction, regulating water resource and provide electric power. Leakage is a common problem the leakage amount, which not only affects economic benefits of project, but also relates to safety dam body, difficult estimate. According Darcy’s law stable seepage theory, an analytical method can be proposed calculate clay gain flux short time. By ma...

identifying the change trends in forms of land surface is one of the main topics in geomorphic system. in this view, we try to assess the stability level of geo systems, boundary changes, instability and prediction of surface forms and processes response. this paper tries to conduct a comparative analysis on the geomorphic equilibrium paradigms, critical thresholds, environmental and natural ha...

There is a need in water sciences for computational tools to integrate large spatially distributed datasets to provide insight into the spatial and temporal domains of the data while allowing visualization, analysis in the spatial and temporal dimensions, data metrics, and pattern recognition in the same application. Spatial and temporal variability of hydrological processes as well as the asso...

The mission of the Studio Music and Jazz Instrumental Degree Programs is to: (1) prepare jazz instrumentalists to enter the music profession or further jazz studies; (2) identify, recruit, and retain high quality students who seek to pursue studio/jazz performance as a career; (3) foster faculty creativity and performance which serves as a role model for students; (4) develop, and revise course...

ActivePrompts are a new technology from Rhetorical, designed to offer a quicker and cheaper alternative to using voice talents and recording studios for the creation of an application-specific prompt library. Most speech user interfaces optimize the quality of their speech output by using pre-recorded prompts. In these applications, TTS is often considered to be a fall-back technology to genera...
