This paper proposes to adapt the techniques of image texture analysis to the context of audio signals. Dynamics of audio frame-level features are particularly difficult to model, although they have been identified as crucial perceptive dimensions of timbre perception. Recent studies have given ample evidence that traditional means to model data dynamics, such as delta-coefficients, texture wind...

Automatic reconstruction of archeological broken objects is an invaluable tool for restoration purposes and personnel. In this paper, we assume that broken pieces have similar characteristics on their common boundaries, when they are correctly combined. In this paper we work in a framework for the full reconstruction of the original objects using texture and surface design information on the sh...

In this survey, we illustrate the different algorithms proposed in literature to synthesize and represent solid textures. Solid textures are an efficient instrument to compactly represent both the external and internal appearance of 3D objects, providing practical advantages with respect to classical 2D texturing. Recently, several methods have been proposed to synthesize solid textures. For so...

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the major components of fats and oils and biologically important organic molecules along with proteins and carbohydrates. In industrial applications, TAGs are the main components in cream, margarine, and confectionery fats in foods and as matrix materials in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The physical behavior of TAGs influences the physical properties of fat-based p...

In computer vision, measurement of image properties such as color or texture is essential. In this paper, we propose a solid framework for the local measurement of texture in color images. We give a physical basis for the integration of the well-known Gabor filters with the measurement of color. Our method implies that the colortexture is measured in the wavelength-Fourier domain. The measureme...

Texture is an essential property of physical objects that affects aesthetics, usability, and functionality. However, designing and applying textures to 3D objects with existing tools remains difficult and time-consuming; it requires proficient 3D modeling skills. To address this, we investigated an auto-completion approach for efficient texture creation that automates the tedious, repetitive pr...

T exture analysis is the extraction of textural features from images (Tuceryan and Jain, 1998). The meaning of texture varies, depending on the area of science in which it is used. In general, texture refers to the physical character of an object or the appearance of an image. In image analysis, texture is defined as a function of the spatial variation in intensities of pixels (Tuceryan and Jai...

Textural properties provide information on the ingestibility, digestibility and state of ripeness or decay of sources of nutrition. Compared with our understanding of the chemosensory assessment of food, little is known about the mechanisms of texture detection. Here we show that Drosophila melanogaster can discriminate food texture, avoiding substrates that are either too hard or too soft. Man...

Flavour perception is determinant for the acceptability of food products by consumers. Aroma and taste play an important role in flavour perception and it is well known that the chemical composition of the matrix and consequently its structure influences release and perception of flavour. However, from simultaneous measurements of human perception and physical concentration in vivo, texture – a...
