gender usually plays a significant role in the works of photographers andcauses men and women to take different photographs. nowadays, photographsand photography have a crucial and pivotal status in societies. the majority of theevents and accidents unfolding in various parts of the world are communicatedto the people via newspapers, magazines, internet and television, and undoubtedly,photograp...

In vitro tensile bond strengths of Photo Clearfil Bright (PB) and Clearfil Photo Posterior (CP) with Clearfil Photo Bond to human enamel and dentin were determined by a truncated cone bond test. Parameters tested were: four substrates (etched enamel; unetched dentin, D1; dentin conditioned with 10% polyacrylic acid, D2; and dentin etched with phosphoric acid, D3); two techniques (bonding agent ...

Automated methods for reliable 3-D reconstruction of man-made objects are essential to many users and providers of 3-D city data, including urban planners, architects, telecommunication and environmental engineers. Manual 3-D processing of aerial images is time consuming and requires the expertise of qualiied personnel. Therefore, the necessity to interpret, classify and quantitatively process ...

As IC feature sizes become smaller and smaller, requirements for Critical Dimension (CD) variations control have become a critical issue. A new process for the control and correction of intra-field CD variations (Critical Dimension Control or CDC) was applied and it's influence on defects detection and photo-masks inspection capabilities at different modes of inspection was investigated. CD Con...

Given multiple images of the same scene, image registration is the process of determining the correct transformation to bring the images into a common coordinate system—i.e., how the images fit together. Featurebased registration applies a transformation function to the input images before performing the correlation step. The result of that transformation, also called feature extraction, is a l...

This paper presents an efficient hardware-accelerated method for novel view synthesis from a set of images or videos. Our method is based on the photo hull representation, which is the maximal photo-consistent shape. We avoid the explicit reconstruction of photo hulls by adopting a view-dependent plane-sweeping strategy. From the target viewpoint slicing planes are rendered with reference views...

Data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC are used to measure the lifetimes of the B0 and B+ mesons. The data sample consists of 8.3 fb collected near the Υ (4S) resonance. B0 and B+ mesons are fully reconstructed in several exclusive hadronic decay modes to charm and charmonium final states. The B lifetimes are determined from the flight length differenc...

We summarize the results of the New Gauge Boson Subgroup on the physics of extended gauge sectors at future colliders as presented at the 1996 Snowmass workshop. We discuss the direct and indirect search reaches for new gauge bosons at both hadron and lepton colliders as well as the ability of such machines to extract detailed information on the couplings of these particles to the fermions and ...
