In this paper we present modern texture mapping techniques and several applications of polynomial texture mapping in cultural heritage programs. We also consider some well‐known and some new methods for mathematical procedure that is involved in generation of polynomial texture maps.

With the great breakthrough in natural gas exploration of Paleozoic Taiyuan formation Longdong exploratory area southwestern part Ordos Basin, it is urgent to solve petrological nomenclature sedimentary bauxite, so as further study pore mechanism, distribution law, and controlling factors bauxite reservoirs. In this paper, X-ray diffraction, polarizing microscope, scanning electron other method...

The effect of surface texture on friction reduction under fluid lubrication has been broadly acknowledged in the tribology community. However, lack understanding underlying mechanisms remains a challenge for advancement textured enhanced lubrication. Numerous models have proposed, but they are almost all based hydrodynamic alone and proven complex, system limited unreflective beneficial seconda...

A new generative multispectral texture model based on discrete distribution mixtures is introduced. Statistical texture properties are represented by a discrete distribution mixture of product components. A natural colour or multispectral texture is spectrally factorized and discrete mixtures models are learned and used to synthesize single orthogonal monospectral components. Texture synthesis ...

Projective texture-mapping is a powerful tool for image-based rendering. However, visibility information must be obtained in order to project correct textures onto the geometric sturcture. This paper presents a novel visibility algorithm for determining which polygons are visible from each camera position. It has object-space precision, but operates in both image-space and object-space to get b...

Oxide materials which exhibit both ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism are of great interest for sensors and memory applications. Layered bismuth titanates with an Aurivillius structure, (BiFeO3)nBi4Ti3O12, can possess ferroelectric and ferromagnetic order parameters simultaneously. It has recently been demonstrated that one such example, Bi5Fe0.5Co0.5Ti3O15,where n = 1 with half the Fe 3+ site...

Realistic rendering of computer modeled three dimensional surfaces typically involves estimation of the reflectance properties of the material to be used for rendering the surface, or use of photographs of the material for texturing instead. Bidirectional texture functions (BTFs) can be used for this purpose, however, full coverage of all viewing and lighting directions desired must be acquired...

This paper presents a new algorithm for synthesising image texture. Texture synthesis is an important process in image post-production. The best previous approaches have used non-parametric methods for synthesising texture. Unfortunately, these methods generally suffer from high computational cost and difficulty in handling scale in the synthesis process. This paper introduces a new idea of usi...

This paper reviews the literature on texture segregation and texture transparency, and proposes a new account of texture transparency based on the theory of texture segregation. To date, it has been suggested that the perception of transparency might stem from perceptual grouping or spacing effects between texture elements. Based on recent data, this paper argues that texture transparency shoul...
