Many real objects, such as faces, sculptures, or low-reliefs are composed of many detailed parts that can not be easily modeled by an artist nor by 3D scanning. In this paper, we propose a new shape from shading (SfS) approach to rapidly model details of these objects such as wrinkles and reliefs of surfaces from one photograph. The method first determines the surface’s flat areas in the photog...

Abstract Alongside the direct parallels and contrasts between traditional narrative fiction games, there lie certain partial analogies that provide their own insights. This article begins by examining a parallel games—the role of fictional reliefs reality checks in shaping aesthetic engagement—before arguing from this analogy can be developed stemming feature distinguishes most games fictions: ...

The paper investigates how the surface relief of an implant affects cell behavior. Currently, most manufacturers claim key impact biocompatibility factor to be micro-roughness. We suppose that interaction between cells and implants also depends on such peculiarities as continuous or discontinuous topography, subcellular distance peaks presence porous oxide layer. have developed laser processing...

The three-dimensional structure of the regular surface layer of Bacillus sphaericus P-1 (T-layer) was determined to a resolution of ca. 2.5 nm by electron microscopy and image analysis. The T-layer has P4 symmetry, a lattice constant of 13 +/- 0.2 nm, and a thickness of ca. 8 nm. The reconstruction revealed three distinct domains: a major, a minor, and an arm domain. In the z-direction, the dom...

The classical wetting models, such as the Wenzel and Cassie-Baxter have been extensively used to quantify wettability of laser-textured surfaces. However, these models do not provide any description corresponding droplet dynamics. In this work, we propose a detailed continuum-level modelling study dynamics water on Ti-6Al-4V alloy. calculations are performed for flat surfaces with various relie...
