Many complex signals, such as point distributions and textures, cannot efficiently be synthesized and stored. In this dissertation we present tile-based methods to solve this problem. Instead of synthesizing a complex signal when needed, the signal is synthesized on forehand over a small set of tiles. Arbitrary large amounts of that signal can then efficiently be generated when needed by genera...

The aim of this paper was to study the variations of the electrical properties like electrical conductivity and dielectric constant of soils with their physical properties. Eight soil samples were collected from different locations of Coimbatore (Tamilnadu) at the depth of 0 – 15 cm. Soil samples were analysed for physical properties like texture, bulk density and porosity. The electrical condu...

Texture is an important spatial feature, useful for identifying objects or regions of interest in an image. One of the most popular statistical methods used to measure the textural information of images is the grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). The other statistical approach to texture analysis is the texture spectrum approach. The present paper combines the fuzzy texture unit and GLCM app...

Due to the rapid developments in the field of computer graphics tools allowing for the real time visualisation of complex 3D data are becoming available also for standard applications. One example is the visualisation of urban landscapes within GIS. This type of application additionally profits from the fact, that meanwhile the required urban models can be collected area covering and efficientl...

The synthesis of sound textures, such as rain, wind, or crowds, is an important application for cinema, multimedia creation, games and installations. However, despite the clearly defined requirements of naturalness and flexibility, no automatic method has yet found widespread use. After clarifying the definition, terminology, and usages of sound texture synthesis, we will give an overview of th...

In this paper we describe a new parametric model for synthesizing environmental sound textures, such as running water, rain, and fire. Sound texture analysis is cast in the framework of wavelet decomposition and multiresolution statistical models, that have previously found application in image texture analysis and synthesis. We stochastically sample from a model that exploits sparsity of wavel...

The solid map provides a view-independent method for solid texturing using an ordinary 2-D surface texture map. The solid map transforms a model’s polygons into 2-D texture space without overlap. It then rasterizes the polygons in this space, interpolating the solid texture coordinates across the pixels of the polygon. These stored solid texture coordinates are then read by a texture synthesis ...

Three-dimensional (3D) textures are popular for texturing solid objects. They usually achieve superior results over conventional two-dimensional (2D) texture mapping techniques. However, whereas 2D textures can be obtained using for example a photograph, capturing or generating solid textures is not straightforward. Procedural techniques can replicate some types of materials, but are usually di...

The puzzle assembly problem has many application areas such as restoration and reconstruction of archeological findings, repairing of broken objects, solving jigsaw type puzzles, molecular docking problem, etc. The puzzle pieces usually include not only geometrical shape information but also visual information such as texture, color, and continuity of lines. This paper presents a new approach t...

Textures have been used in various applications, such as carpet quality control, region recognition in satellite images, and body painting control in the vehicle industry. This paper studies texture synthesis. We survey the algorithms for synthesizing textures that have proposed over the past two decades. A variety of algorithms associated with synthesized textures are given. The goal is to fur...
