Recently completed excavations at the site of El Palenque in Mexico's Valley of Oaxaca have recovered the well-preserved remains of a palace complex dated by associated radiocarbon samples and ceramics to the Late Formative period or Late Monte Albán I phase (300-100 BC), the period of archaic state emergence in the region. The El Palenque palace exhibits certain architectural and organizationa...

Traditional online map tiles, which are widely used on the Internet, such as by Google Maps and Baidu Maps, rendered from vector data. The timely updating of tiles data, for generation is time-consuming, a difficult mission. Generating over time remote sensing images relatively simple can be performed quickly without However, this approach to challenging or even impossible. Inspired image-to-im...

images divided into independent tiles in the pixel domain is important. However, tiling introduces artifacts when transform coefficients are quantized. This paper presents a " detiling " solution applicable to wavelet transform coefficients. The solution, called Projection Onto Scaling Functions, eliminates the blocking artifacts by computing approximations that match the smoothness of the comp...

We present a method for detecting repeated structures, which is applied on facade images for describing the regularity of their windows. Our approach finds and explicitly represents repetitive structures and thus gives initial representation of facades. No explicit notion of a window is used, thus the method also appears to be able to identify other man made structures, e.g. paths with regular ...

This paper discusses the use of Wang Tiles for image and texture generation as originally presented in Cohen et al. , 2003. Creating large expanses of nonperiodic texture, point distributions or geometry can be efficiently done at runtime by constructing a tiling of the plane using a small set of Wang tiles. Wang Tiles are squares whose edges are each assigned a color. The method involves filli...
