The warp is a device that reframes notions of time and space. It is a common cultural artefact, one that audiences have come to recognise and believe in through various media. We accept the bed in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, the Tardis in Doctor Who, the supralight speed engines of science fiction, as time/space travel devices in order to get characters from A to B, to advance their progress alon...

The inter-image flow field is often modeled by some parametric warp function. Nearly all warps in the literature are based on a linear combination of control points, as for example the Free-Form Deformation (FFD) warp which uses the tensor-product of B-splines. It has been recently shown that the FFD warp models the affine projection of a deforming surface. This is also the case for all tensorp...

We introduce 3D warp brush, a new method for interactive shape modeling in an immersive virtual reality environment. 3D warp brushes are implicitly defined tools that operate on triangle meshes. We combine the efficiency of explicit mesh representations with intuitive implicit modeling operators. The area of influence of a 3D warp brush can be of arbitrary shape since it has an associated dista...

where σ(y) ∼ m0b0|y|. Here, e−2σ(y) is the warp factor which reduces scales of order MPlanck at y = 0 on the hidden brane to scales of order a TeV at y = 1/2 on the visible brane. Fluctuations of gμν relative to ημν are the KK excitations hμν . Fluctuations of b(x) relative to b0 define the radion field. In addition, we place a Higgs doublet Ĥ on the visible brane. After various rescalings, the...

In this study, an appropriate fabric weight content controlled by the density of the warp and weft fibers is determined for biaxial warp-knitted composites referring to mechanical test results. Six different types of composite panel with two different fabric weights (813 and 1187 gr/m) and with three different stacking sequences [90we/0wa/90we/0wa]s, [90wa/ 0we/90wa/0we]s, and [90wa/0we/90we/0w...

Spatially varying warps are increasingly popular for image alignment. In particular, as-projective-as-possible (APAP) warps have been proven effective for accurate panoramic stitching, especially in cases with significant depth parallax that defeat standard homographic warps. However, estimating spatially varying warps requires a sufficient number of feature matches. In image regions where feat...

A permutor design for woven convolutional encoders with outer warp is introduced. All warp permutors are considered jointly, and for the overall design an approach similar to that of higher order separations for serially concatenated convolutional codes is applied. We present a bound on the minimum distance of a code generated by a woven convolutional encoder with outer warp and designed row pe...
