Local Competition-Based Superpixel Segmentation Algorithm in Remote Sensing

open access: yesSensors, 2017
Remote sensing technologies have been widely applied in urban environments’ monitoring, synthesis and modeling. Incorporating spatial information in perceptually coherent regions, superpixel-based approaches can effectively eliminate the “salt and pepper”

Distributed-memory parallelization of an explicit time-domain volume integral equation solver on Blue Gene/P [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Two distributed-memory schemes for efficiently parallelizing the explicit marching-on in-time based solution of the time domain volume integral equation on the IBM Blue Gene/P platform are presented.

Fast generative adversarial networks model for masked image restoration

open access: yesIET Image Processing, 2019
The conventional masked image restoration algorithms all utilise the correlation between the masked region and its neighbouring pixels, which does not work well for the larger masked image.

Optimal Path Planning and the Fast Marching Method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The problem of determining an optimal path for an object moving through some obstacle space presents several nontrivial subproblems. The foremost being the computational complexity that is involved and how to best deal with the associated large data volume. For example, a non-symmetric object moving in three dimensions possesses six degrees of freedom.

Integrating Surface Normal Vectors Using Fast Marching Method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Integration of surface normal vectors is a vital component in many shape reconstruction algorithms that require integrating surface normals to produce their final outputs, the depth values. In this paper, we introduce a fast and efficient method for computing the depth values from surface normal vectors.

Animal‐Based Brands Taking the Plant‐Based Opportunity: A Tasting Experiment Exploring Consumer Acceptance of Plant‐Based Brand Extensions

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how consumer taste and brand equity perceptions shape the acceptance of plant‐based milk products. Using a blind/informed tasting experiment, we evaluated consumers' willingness to buy (WTB) and taste perception of a plant‐based milk alternative produced by a traditional dairy brand, compared with competing plant‐based ...

Fast marching method-based bent-ray tracing for three-dimensional velocity imaging in mines

open access: yesRock Mechanics Bulletin
Three-dimensional (3D) seismic velocity imaging is crucial for understanding rock mass stress and structures in mining. Conventional straight-ray tomography suffers from ray-path mismatches with true wavefield propagation in complex media, leading to ...

High-precision Joint 2D Traveltime Calculation for Seismic Processing

open access: yesEarth Sciences Research Journal, 2018
Fast Marching Method (FMM) boasts high calculation efficiency and strong adaptability and stability while being applied to seismic traveltime. However, when it is applied to the largescale model, the calculation precision of FMM is insufficient.
