We present ‘bAd Calculator’, a new software developed in Visual Basic programme which can be applied for analyses of various drainage basin parameters, directional aspects, etc. The graphical user interface of bAd Calculator can be used for several applications such as determination of bearing and azimuth of linear features and their representation in rose diagram. Various drainage basin parame...

3D facial synthesis has been frequently used in model based video coding applications and became popular in various multimedia applications. In this paper a 3D face model, its adaptation algorithm and a texture mapping method using two orthogonal photos are presented to solve several 3D estimation problems in model based video coding. We are successfully estimating the frames between the front ...

In order to replace the artifacts in the textured background, a new texture preserving image coder using the set of orthogonal polynomials is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme is based on the model that represents textures using points spread operator relating to a linear system. In the proposed texture based image coding scheme, the encoder first identifies textured regions, which ar...

Recent advances in computer hardware and virtual modelling allow to respect view and illumination dependencies of natural surface materials. The corresponding texture representation in the form of Bidirectional Texture Function (BTF) enables significant improvements of virtual models realism at the expense of immense increase of material sample data space. Thus introduction of some fast compres...

Multi-view Video plus Depth (MVD) data offer a reliable representation of three dimensional (3D) scenes for 3D Video applications. This is a huge amount of data whose compression is an important challenge for researchers at the current time. Consisting of texture and depth video sequences, the question of the relationship between these two types of data regarding bitrate allocation often raises...

In this paper, we proposed a system of automatically classifying different types of dates from their images. Different dates have various distinguished features that can be useful to recognize a particular date. These features include color, texture, and shape. In the proposed system, a color image of a date is decomposed into its color components. Then, local texture descriptor in the form of ...

The bidirectional texture function (BTF) is the recent most advanced representation of visual properties of material surface. It specifies its appearance due to varying spatial, illumination, and viewing conditions. Corresponding enormous BTF measurements require compact mathematical representation for visual fidelity preserving compression. We present a novel BTF model based on a set of underl...

The Bidirectional Texture Function (BTF) is the recent most advanced representation of visual properties of surface materials. It specifies their appearance due to varying spatial, illumination, and viewing conditions. Corresponding enormous BTF measurements require a mathematical representation allowing extreme compression but simultaneously preserving its high visual fidelity. We present a no...

Texture mapping has traditionally added visual realism to computer graphics images. Modern graphic boards reserve more space for image textures that are mapped in real time on 3D meshes. Outside the graphic accelerators texture images are stored in popular compressed formats that are not designed to meet real-time texture decompression requirements. In the paper we forward an alternative techni...
