In this paper we propose a new technique for outlines of objects detection. We exploit the set of contours computed using the image analogies principle. A set of artificial patterns are used to locate contours of any query image, each one permits the location of contours corresponding to a specific intensity variation. We studied these contours and a theoretical foundation is proposed to explai...

Synthesizing two images with seamless boundaries, i.e. seamless image cloning, is important and has many useful applications in CG. Previous approaches do not produce realistic results if texture details of the two images are different. We propose a novel texture-aware seamless cloning framework based on separately processing the details and base image colors. The proposed framework provides re...

analogy and how to treat it is among the earliest issues in the jurisprudence and principles of legal schools. meanwhile, although in shī‘ism the universal approach in this respect has since long ago been a negative one and it still continues to be so, the important issue that has to be taken into further consideration and more deeply contemplated on despite the theological viewpoints of the ju...

One version of the argument for design relies on the assumption that the apparent fine-tuning of the universe for the existence of life requires an explanation. I argue that the assumption is false. Philosophers who argue for the assumption usually appeal to analogies, such as the one in which a person was to draw a particular straw among a very large number of straws in order not to be killed....

Analogy is a powerful boundary-transcending process that exploits a conceptual system's ability to perform controlled generalization in one domain and re-specialization into another. The result of this semantic leap is the transference of meaning from one concept to another from which metaphor derives its name (literally: to carry over). Such generalization and re-specialization can be achieved...

In this work, an analytical study on the bending stiffnesses of corrugated board has been performed. Formulations to calculate the bending stiffnesses D11, D22, D12, and D66 of the equivalent plate representing the corrugated board have been established, and then compared to expressions suggested by other investigators. Several methods for modeling the shape of the corrugated orthotropic medium...
