Efficient collection and redistribution of the direct and diffuse components of daylight in buildings remains a major objective of advanced fenestration systems. Such systems, including novel solar blinds, new glazing or coating materials and daylight-redi ...
Visual information, in the form of images and video, comes from the interaction of light with objects. Illumination is a fundamental element of visual information. Detecting and interpreting illumination effects is part of our everyday life visual experien ...
This paper describes a technique for identifying the boundary of the optic disk in digital images of the retina, using an approach based on active contours (snakes). The optic disk is the region on the retina at which optic nerve axons enter and leave the ...
Permanence issues for digital photographs arise in three different areas. First, the materials used for digital hard copies should preferably be as permanent as the conventional photographic materials. Longevity of digital hard copy materials is affected b ...
We present an optimal spline-based algorithm for the enlargement or reduction of digital images with arbitrary (noninteger) scaling factors. This projection-based approach can be realized thanks to a new finite difference method that allows the computation ...
A novel approach to shadow detection is presented in this paper. The method is based on the use of invariant color models to identify and to classify shadows in digital images. The procedure is divided into two levels: first, shadow candidate regions are e ...
We present a virtual digital camera sensor, whose aim is to simulate a real (physical) image capturing sensor.To accomplish this task, the virtual sensor operates in two steps. First, it accepts a physical description of agiven scene and simulates the enti ...
For annotating a digital image with information from a digital map, features which are visible from a viewer position are extracted from the map. The extracted features are matched with corresponding features in the image, and feature annotations are trans ...
The invention relates to Real-Time Remote Inspection of High-Resolution images and more particularly to coordinated storage, retrieval and transmission of digital images with different levels of resolution ...
Many daylighting applications require a precise knowledge of the directional transmission features of advanced fenestration materials. These photometric properties are described by a bi-directional transmission distribution function (BTDF), whose experimen ...
