Synthesizing two images with seamless boundaries, i.e. seamless image cloning, is important and has many useful applications in CG. Previous approaches do not produce realistic results if texture details of the two images are different. We propose a novel texture-aware seamless cloning framework based on separately processing the details and base image colors. The proposed framework provides re...

analogy and how to treat it is among the earliest issues in the jurisprudence and principles of legal schools. meanwhile, although in shī‘ism the universal approach in this respect has since long ago been a negative one and it still continues to be so, the important issue that has to be taken into further consideration and more deeply contemplated on despite the theological viewpoints of the ju...

One version of the argument for design relies on the assumption that the apparent fine-tuning of the universe for the existence of life requires an explanation. I argue that the assumption is false. Philosophers who argue for the assumption usually appeal to analogies, such as the one in which a person was to draw a particular straw among a very large number of straws in order not to be killed....

Complex hierarchical structures composed of simple nanoscale building blocks form the basis of most biological materials. Here we demonstrate how analogies between seemingly different fields enable the understanding of general principles by which functional properties in hierarchical systems emerge, similar to an analogy learning process. Specifically, natural hierarchical materials like spider...

amongst imami scholors, sharif murtadā is one of the first jurists who created some books in genre of comparative jurisprudence. amongst his books in this genre, the most important after  intisar is masail al- nāşiriyyāt which is composed to explain and sometimes criticize the legal positions of his great grandfather (from his mother side), namely naşir uţrūşh. this essay concerns to study the ...

This piece of research addresses an interdisciplinary, challenging and interesting learning issue. More specifically, it deals with analytical and quantitative study comparing two suggested naturally inspired behavioral learning systems. In other words, this study presents an investigational comparison between two diverse realistic models of biological systems. Namely, these systems are associa...

Analogy is a powerful boundary-transcending process that exploits a conceptual system's ability to perform controlled generalization in one domain and re-specialization into another. The result of this semantic leap is the transference of meaning from one concept to another from which metaphor derives its name (literally: to carry over). Such generalization and re-specialization can be achieved...

In this work, an analytical study on the bending stiffnesses of corrugated board has been performed. Formulations to calculate the bending stiffnesses D11, D22, D12, and D66 of the equivalent plate representing the corrugated board have been established, and then compared to expressions suggested by other investigators. Several methods for modeling the shape of the corrugated orthotropic medium...

Three theories of analogy have been proposed which are supported by computational models and data from experiments on human analogical abilities. In this paper, we show how these theories can be unified within a common metatheoretical framework which distinguishes between levels of informational, behavioural and hardware constraints. This framework makes clear the distinctions between three com...
