Textures can describe a wide variety of natural phenomena with random variations over repeating patterns. Examples of textures include images, motions, and surface geometry. Since reproducing the realism of the physical world is a major goal for computer graphics, textures are important for rendering synthetic images and animations. However, because textures are so diverse it is difficult to de...

Texture can be defined as the change of image intensity that forms repetitive patterns resulting from physical properties an object’s roughness or differences in a reflection on surface. Considering texture system non-deterministic way, biodiversity concepts help its characterization image. This paper proposes novel approach to quantify such complex diverse through species diversity, richness, ...

We describe the current state of ACME, the UBC Active Measurement facility, a telerobotic facility designed for building computational models of everyday physical objects. We show how ACME is being used to acquire models of contact texture (including friction and roughness), contact sounds, and contact deformation.

Rangelands are very diverse, and they spread from low vegetation desert areas to those with more rainfall and more cover In saline and desert areas, there are many restrictions on vegetation establishment, hence the use of amendments. The study area is located south of Nazarabad city in Alborz province, Iran. In this study, different amendments, such as mineral biochar, arbuscular mycorrhiza fu...

This study presents an experimentally identified derivatogram of bentonite from the Navbahor mine, texture bentonite, physical and chemical characteristics, composition, their analysis retaining substance used in preparation nanocatalysts based on Zolgel technology.

performances in the high nineties are typically obtained for tasks such as texture segmentation and classification the same cannot be said of judging texture similarity where a classifier has to estimate the degree to which pairs of textures appear similar to human observers. In an investigation of 51 computational feature sets Dong et al. [1] showed that none of these managed to estimate simil...
