The Sierra Nevada mountain range consists of a vast array of different geologic features. One of these features is in the form of what are known as roof pendants. Roof pendants span through the central and southern portions of the eastern Sierra Nevada. Representing the geologic history of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, metamorphic roof pendants offer a glimpse into the past. T...

It is difficult for consumers to judge whether a painting or poster would fit well in their rooms without actually mounting the painting on the wall. A solution is proposed to allow users to their DROID mobile phones to preview what the painting looks like on the wall using the phone’s camera and its screen. The system is a marker-based, augmented-reality system that can place paintings on wall...

Automated 3D building model generation continues to attract research interests in photogrammetry and computer vision. Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data with increasing point density and accuracy has been recognized as a valuable source for automated 3D building reconstruction. While considerable achievements have been made in roof extraction, limited research has been carried ou...

" At my studio back in Cardiff, the walls swarm with a cast of hermits, angels, penitents, devils, wild beasts, and anchorites, " wrote Clive Hicks-Jenkins during a visit to Prague. " They are made of roughly painted card, jointed for articulation and capable of surprisingly varied and unlikely positions, rather like elaborate shadow puppets. They were constructed as studio aids to achieve a mo...

We present a case of rare orbital roof haemangioma infiltrating the medial and lateral walls of the orbit, zygomatic bone and lesser and greater wings of the sphenoid. The tumour was totally excised by the frontolateral approach, followed by craniofacial and orbital roof reconstruction.
