Virtual Restorative Environments

International Journal of Gaming and Computer-Mediated Simulations, 2012
Previous restorative environment (RE) research suggests that exposure of individuals to natural settings can reduce stress, improve feelings of well-being, and help individuals to recover from fatigue following intensive mental activities. This paper focuses on possible future opportunities for exploring Virtual Environments (VE) in the pursuit of ...

Efficiently Restoring Virtual Machines

International Journal of Parallel Programming, 2013
Saving the state of a running virtual machine (VM) for later restoration has become an indispensable tool to achieve balanced and energy-efficient usage of the underlying hardware in virtual desktop cloud environments (VDC). To free up resources, a remote user's VM is saved to external storage when the user disconnects and restored when the user ...

Virtual restoration of fragmented glass plate photographs

Proceedings of the 12th IEEE Mediterranean Electrotechnical Conference (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37521), 2004
In this paper we address the problem of restoration of fragmented glass plate photographs. We propose an algorithm based on the roto-translation of the fragments. A preprocessing adjustment in the contour combined with final interpolation is necessary to avoid artifacts.

Image processing for virtual restoration of artworks

IEEE Multimedia, 2000
As tools for artwork restoration, image-processing techniques serve two purposes. They can be used as a guide to the actual restoration of the artwork (computer-guided restoration). Or, they can produce a digitally restored version of the work, which itself is valuable, although the restoration is only virtual and cannot be reproduced on the real piece

Virtual Restoration and Protection of Cultural Heritage Images

2007 15th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing, 2007
Cultural heritage field can benefit from the image processing field in many ways. Several years of research accomplished at MICC and DET have led to the establishment of an integrated software for image processing of cultural heritage images. The tool is able to protect the digital reproductions of art works, by means of a powerful and robust ...
