This paper offers a novel algorithm to better design LEDs arrays for illumination systems. First, the illuminance distribution of LED arrays is studied through theoretical analysis. Second, we present the algorithm criterion and steps. And finally, we use computer to simulate and verify this method. The results show that the illumination uniformity is significantly affected by the spacing of ea...

The problem due to differential terrain illumination on satellite imagery is experienced by most of areas which are on mountainous terrain. This may cause variations in reflectance of similar ground features which lead to a misclassification of land cover classes due to different topographic positions. This phenomenon most commonly occurred in the areas which are located on southern and norther...

The dynamic optimization problem concerns finding an optimum in a changing environment. In the field of evolutionary algorithms, this implies dealing with a time-changing fitness landscape. In this paper we compare different techniques for integrating motion information into an evolutionary algorithm, in the case it has to follow a time-changing optimum, under the assumption that the changes fo...

The optimum Runge-Kutta method of a particular order is the one whose truncation error is a minimum. Various measures of the size of the truncation error are considered. The optimum method is practically independent of the measure being used. Moreover, among methods of the same order which one might consider using the difference in size of the estimated error is not more than a factor of 2 or 3...

We present a radically different approach to the recovery of the three dimensional geometric and reflectance properties of a surface from image data. We pose the problem in a Bayesian framework, and proceed to infer the parameters of the model describing the surface. This allows great flexibility in the specification of the model, in terms of how both the geometrical properties and surface refl...

Building photometric databases usually requires the gathering of images of a still object under different light source directions. During this process, unexpected artifacts such as noise, shadows, inter-reflections and other unwanted effects introduced by the sensibility of the camera may appear along the database, diminishing its consistency as a whole and therefore its suitability for the pur...

We present an automated light calibration pipeline for free-form acquisition of shape and reflectance of objects using common off-the-shelf illuminators, such as LED lights, that can be placed arbitrarily close to the objects. We acquire multiple digital photographs of the studied object shot from a stationary camera. In each photograph, a light is freely positioned around the object in order t...
