This paper deals with the conversion of a digital image of a person into a portrait engraved on the surface of a material (white foam with a dark surface). In this approach, a series of holes of varying diameter are drilled into the surface. A mapping is made from a set of numbers (RGB values) in the input image to a set of diameters for the holes to be drilled. The holes expose a white inner c...

These are the Kent and Canterbury Hospital portrait, the King's Weston version, and the SurrendenDering portrait. Anyone venturing into the field of Harvey portraiture mu...

The reachability problem as well as the computation of the phase portrait for the class of planar hybrid systems defined by constant differential inclusions (SPDI), has been shown to be decidable. The existing reachability algorithm is based on the exploitation of topological properties of the plane which are used to accelerate certain kind of cycles. The complexity of the algorithm makes the a...
