In this paper, we propose a new solution to the sparse image-based rendering (IBR) problem. Given two images taken from different viewpoints, our algorithm can accurately generate images from new viewpoints in between the original two views. This paper contributes to the sparse IBR in the following aspects: (1) Direct range space matching and multiple depth maps rendering. (2) Good rendering ca...

Multivariate nonparametric smoothers, such as kernel based smoothers and thin plate splines smoothers, are adversely impacted by the sparseness of data in high dimension, also known as the curse of dimensionality. Adaptive smoothers, that can exploit the underlying smoothness of the regression function, may partially mitigate this effect. This paper presents a comparative simulation study of a ...

Fifteen percent of women treated for breast cancer with total mastectomy receive immediate or early breast reconstruction [1, 2]. The percentage is higher in young women and those treated in tertiary care medical centers. Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) has several advantages [3, 4]. It can prevent some of the negative psychological and emotional sequelae seen with mastectomy. The aesthet...

The role of digital images is increasing rapidly in mobile devices. They are used in many applications including virtual tours, virtual reality, e-commerce etc. Such applications synthesize realistic looking novel views of the reference images on mobile devices using the techniques like image-based rendering (IBR). However, with this increasing role of digital images comes the serious issue of ...

Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1), infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBR) and turkey herpesvirus were examined for growth in cells cultured on three different substrates. The substrates were glass, DEAE-dextran and collagen gel. With two of the viruses, HSV-1 and IBR, there were no apparent differences in production as a function of substrate. In contrast, the amount of the turkey herp...

With image-based rendering (IBR) one can render 3D scenes from multiple images with or without geometry. Various approaches to IBR have been proposed to render the scene given a set of regularly or non-regularly pre-captured images. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to capture the images actively. Based on the images that have been taken, the system intelligently determines where to pose t...

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is an economically important disease of cattle and buffaloes, and causes abortions, infertility, meningeal encephalitisو and keratoconjunctivitis. The aim of the study was to determine seroprevelence of the IBRantibodiesin two herds, 26buffaloes and 21 cow related agriculture research office and veterinarymedicine college respectively in Baghdad, these an...
