We present a tactile information transceiver using a friction-tunable slider-pad. While previous tactile information devices were focused on either input or output functions, the present device offers lateral position/vertical direction detection and texture expression. In characterizing the tactile input performance, we measured the capacitance change due to the displacement of the slider-pad. The measured difference for a z-axis click was 0.146 nF/$40{\mu}m$ when the x-y axis navigation showed 0.09 nF/$750{\mu}m$ difference. In characterizing the texture expression, we measured the lateral force due to a normal load. We applied a voltage between parallel electrodes to induce electrostatic attraction in DC and AC voltages. We measured the friction under identical fingertip action conditions, and obtained friction in the range of 32-152 mN and lateral vibration in the force range of 128.1 mN at 60 V, 2 Hz. The proposed device can be applied to integrated tactile interface devices for mobile appliances.

Purpose: We generated geospatial information of unmanned aerial vehicle based on various SW and analyzed the location accuracy of orthoimage and DSM and texture mapping of 3D mesh. Method: The same unmanned aerial image data is processed using two different SW, and spatial information is generated. Among the generated spatial information, the orthoimage and DSM were compared with the spatial information generation results of the unmanned aerial photogrammetry SW by performing quantitative analysis by calculating RMSE of horizontal position and vertical position error and performing qualitative analysis. Results: There were no significant differences in the positional accuracy of the orthoimage and DSM generated by each SW, and differences in texture mapping in 3D mesh. The creation of the 3D mesh indicated the impact of the Unmanned Aerial Photogrammetry SW. Conclusion: It is shown that there is no effect of SW on the creation of orthoimage and DSM for geospatial analysis based on unmanned aerial vehicle. However, when 3D visualization is performed, texture mapping results are different depending on SW.

This paper proposes a high-speed texture mapping algorithm and apply it for the realtime face animation. The mapping process devide into pixel correspondences, Z-buffering, and pixel value interpolation. Pixel correspondences and Z-buffering are calculated exactly through the algorithm. However, pixel values interpolation is approximated without additional calculations. The algorithm dramatically reduces the operations needed for texture mapping. Only three additions are needed in calculation of a pixel value. We simulate the 256$\times$240 pixel facial image with about 100 pixel face width. Simulation results shows that frame generation speed are about 60, 44, 21 frames/second in pentium PC 550MHz, 400MHz, 200MHz, respectively,

In landscape simulatin, it is necessary to express very realistic image generated by computer graphics. One solution is to use texture mapping; however, it needs a lot of work and time to obtain images for texture mapping since there are huge variety of images for buildings, roads, stations and so on, and the landscape image is diverse due to the weather and time. Especially, weathered images such as stain on walls, crack on roads and so forth, are needed to make the landscape image very realistic. These weathered images do not have to be strict so that it saves a lot of work and time for obtaining the images for texture mapping if we can generate a variety of weathered images automatically. Therefore, this paper describes how to generate a variety of weathered images automatically by changing the weathered shape of the original image.

Texture is extensively studied in a variety of image processing applications such as image segmentation and classification because it is an important property to perceive regions and surfaces. This paper focused on the analysis and synthesis of textured single and multiband images using Markov Random Field model considering the existent spatial correlation. Especially, for multiband images, the cross-channel correlation existing between bands as well as the spatial correlation within band should be considered in the model. Although a local interaction is assumed between the specified neighboring pixels in MRF models, during the maximization process, short-term correlations among neighboring pixels develop into long-term correlations. This result in exhibiting phase transition. In this research, the role of temperature to obtain the most probable state during the sampling procedure in discrete Markov Random Fields and the stopping rule were also studied.

Wet chemical etching methods were utilized to conduct Si surface texturing, which could enhance photoelectrochemical hydrogen generation rate. Two different etching methods tested, which were anisotropic metal-catalyzed electroless etching and isotropic etching. The Si nano-texture that was fabricated by the anisotropic etching showed ~25% increase in photocurrent for H2 generation. The photocurrent enhancement was attributed to the reduced reflection loss at the nano-textured Si surface, which provided a layer of intermediate density between water and the Si substrate.

As display resolution increases, many apps also tend to include high-resolution texture maps. Recent advancements in deep-learning-based image super-resolution techniques make it possible to automate high-resolution texture generation. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive analysis of the application of these techniques to texture maps. In this paper, we selected three recent super-resolution techniques, namely BSRGAN, Real-ESRGAN, and SwinIR (classical and real-world image SR), and applied them to upscale texture maps. We then conducted a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the experimental results. The findings revealed various artifacts after upscaling, which indicates that there are still limitations in directly applying super-resolution techniques to texture-map upscaling.

Several improved quadrature polar separable (QPS) filters have been proposed and applied in texture processing since Knutsson proposed the QPS filter. They include a Knutsson's cosine function or oan exponential attenuation function, as the orientational function, and a Knutsson's exponential function or a finite prolate spheroidal sequence (FPSS) or an asymptotic FPSS, as the radial weighting functions. They represent different properties in terms of the generation of texture images, the orientational estimation, and the segmentation of synthetic texture image. In this paper, we have constructed several kernal functions for the 2-D QPS filter and analyzed their properties. A series of experiments have been carried out in order to estimate the frequency components and orientational angles of a local texture in Fourier domain. finally some problems encountered in applying QPS filters to feature description and segmentation are considered. Experimental results show that the improved Knutsson's filter and the asymptotic FPSS filter are useful in terms of the orientational estimation and the sementation of synthetic texture image.

When triangular meshes are generated from the point clouds in global space reconstructed through camera pose estimation against captured RGB-D streams, the quality of the resulting meshes improves as more triangles are hired. However, for 3D reconstructed models beyond some size threshold, they become to suffer from the ugly-looking artefacts due to the insufficient precision of RGB-D sensors as well as significant burdens in memory requirement and rendering cost. In this paper, for the generation of 3D models appropriate for real-time applications, we propose an effective technique that extracts high-quality textures for moderate-sized meshes from the captured colors associated with the reconstructed point sets. In particular, we show that via a simple method based on the mapping between the 3D global space resulting from the camera pose estimation and the 2D texture space, textures can be generated effectively for the 3D models reconstructed from captured RGB-D image streams.
