in this study, the effects of moisture content and corn variety on the physicochemical properties of popcorn were investigated and modeled using response surface methodology. each of the two corn varieties (hybrid corn ksc 600 pc and american) was prepared with a range of moisture (six moisture levels ranging from 10 to 20%) and popped by a hot air popper. variety and moisture content affected ...

Everyday objects are often composed of multiple parts, each with a unique surface texture. The neural substrates mediating the integration of surface features on different object parts are not fully understood, and potential contributions by both the ventral and dorsal visual pathways are possible. To explore these substrates, we collected fMRI data while human participants performed a differen...

Texture plays an important role in visual information processing since texture provides useful information about shape, orientation, and depth of the objects. The human visual system utilizes texture without difficulty as one of the visual cues for image interpretation, scene analysis and object recognition. However, to extract and to analyze texture are difficult tasks in machine perception in...

We present a novel method for texture synthesis on surfaces from examples. We consider a very general type of textures, including color, transparency and displacements. Our method synthesizes the texture directly on the surface, rather than synthesizing a texture image and then mapping it to the surface. The synthesized textures have the same qualitative visual appearance as the example texture...

A new method of texture modelling based on discrete distribution mixtures is proposed. Unlike some alternative approaches the statistical properties of textures are modelled by a discrete distribution mixture of product components. The univariate distributions in the products are represented in full generality by vectors of probabilities without any constraints. The texture analysis is made in ...

This paper describes a method for synthesizing natural textures that realistically matches given colour texture appearance. The novel texture synthesis method, which we call the roller, is based on the overlapping tiling and subsequent minimum error boundary cut. An optimal double toroidal patch is seamlessly repeated during the synthesis step. While the method allows only moderate texture comp...

We present a technique for creating a smoothly varying sequence of procedural textures that interpolates between arbitrary input samples of texture. This texture transformation uses a library of procedural shaders and selects the correct shaders and associated parameters to accomplish the task. In general, selecting a procedural texture from a library, or finding the correct parameters to produ...

Recently there is a resurgent interest in example based texture analysis and synthesis in both computer vision and computer graphics. While study in computer vision is concerned with learning accurate texture models, research in graphics is aimed at effective algorithms for texture synthesis without necessarily obtaining explicit texture model. This paper makes three contributions to this recen...

Textures are replications, symmetries and combinations of various basic patterns, usually with some random variation one of the gray-level statistics. This article proposes a new approach to Segment texture images. The proposed approach proceeds in 2 stages. First, in this method, local texture information of a pixel is obtained by fuzzy texture unit and global texture information of an image i...
