Modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. Construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. In light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. Many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of proces...

Lighting can be better integrated to the architectural design process through computational tools that are capable enough to visualize and analyze the luminous environment accurately. This paper describes an image-based lighting analysis procedure that operates with high dynamic range lighting data for evaluating architectural spaces. The discussions mainly refer to visual and metrological aspe...

Immunocytochemical markers are increasingly applied for diagnosis of diseases. Usually two or more marker stains are applied at once, together with a counterstain for a reliable microscopic investigation of cell specimens. As a preprocessing step for the detection of marker-positive cells, other stains should be removed by image processing techniques. This virtual destaining can be achieved by ...

Rapid development of engineering activities expands through a variety of rock engineering processes such as drilling, blasting, mining and mineral processing. These activities require rock dynamic fracture mechanics method to characterize the rock behavior. Dynamic fracture toughness is an important parameter for the analysis of engineering structures under dynamic loading. Several experimental...

This paper introduces a new approach for optimum auto exposure (AE) based on the high-dynamic-range histogram (HDH) of a scene. The exposure control is optimal in terms of recorded information of the scene. The advantages over AE based on mean values of images will be shown as well as a proof of concept implementation and results. Futhermore possible extensions to this approach are discussed. T...
