This paper presents a novel dynamic terrain multiresolution rendering method by utilizing the capabilities of current generation GPUs. Firstly, the terrain depth offset map texture that represents the appropriate offset values is generated through rendering to texture, which is used to deform terrain in vertex shader. Then in order to accurately represent the fine terrain detail created by defo...

Most of existing image retargeting approaches only use color information to help preserve important image content. In this paper, we exploit both color and depth information captured by an RGB-D camera to preserve important regions and maintain background structure. In particular, we introduce a depth-based importance map, such that deformation of the image is guided by this map. This depth-bas...

Processing map for hot working of Ti-IF steel has been developed in the temperature range of 750 to 1100 °C and strain rate of 0.01 to 100 s-1. This map in the austenite region exhibits a single domain with a peak efficiency of 45% occurring at 1025 °C and strain rate of 0.02 s-1. The domain extends over the temperature range of 1000 to 1100 °C and strain rate range of 0.01 to 1 s-1. The true s...

Fuzzy functional dependency (FFD) is a kind of semantic knowledge and can be discovered from a large volume of business data. Sectional FFD and Attribute FFD are discussed so as to reflect semantics of the business world and express useful information that is natural for people to comprehend. The experimental results on an insurance data set show that the proposed method can extract knowledge e...

A deformation-mechanism map has been developed for unirradiated zircaloy-4 based on the creep data available from the literature of the last thirty-five years. These data have been analyzed to identify different creep mechanisms, based on the forms of the relationships between stress, temperature and strain rate. This identification allowed the activation energies and other associated creep par...

Hot deformation behavior of the Cu-Cr-Zr-Nd alloy was studied by hot compressive tests in the temperature range of 650-950 °C and the strain rate range of 0.001-10 s(-1) using Gleeble-1500D thermo-mechanical simulator. The results showed that the flow stress is strongly dependent on the deformation temperature and the strain rate. With the increase of temperature or the decrease of strain rate,...

On the 26th December 2003 an earthquake with MW=6.5 shook a large area of the Kerman Province in Iran. The epicenter of the devastating earthquake was located near the city of Bam. This paper described the application of differential synthetic aperture radar interferometry (D-INSAR) and ENVISAT ASAR data to map the coseismic surface deformation caused by the Bam earthquake including the interfe...

Additive deformations of bialgebras in the sense of Wirth are deformations of the multiplication map of the bialgebra fulfilling a compatibility condition with the coalgebra structure and a continuity condition. Two problems concerning additive deformations are considered. With a deformation theory a cohomology theory should be developed. Here a variant of the Hochschild cohomology is used. The...

The feasibility of real-time non-invasive spatio-temporal temperature estimation from pulse-echo diagnostic ultra-sound data has been previously demonstrated in stationary phantoms. The method is based on rst estimating the axial shifts of the RF-echo data due to local changes in the speed of sound and thermal expansion in the propagating medium, and then diierentiating these estimates along ax...

Any deformation of a Weyl or Clifford algebra A can be realized through a ‘deforming map’, i.e. a formal change of generators in A. This is true in particular if A is covariant under a Lie algebra g and its deformation is induced by some triangular deformation Uhg of the Hopf algebra Ug . We propose a systematic method to construct all the corresponding deforming maps, together with the corresp...
