Phenomenological Modeling Of Image Irradiance For Non-Lambertian Surfaces Under Natural Illumination., Shireen Y. Elhabian Dec 2012

Phenomenological Modeling Of Image Irradiance For Non-Lambertian Surfaces Under Natural Illumination., Shireen Y. Elhabian

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Various vision tasks are usually confronted by appearance variations due to changes of illumination. For instance, in a recognition system, it has been shown that the variability in human face appearance is owed to changes to lighting conditions rather than person's identity. Theoretically, due to the arbitrariness of the lighting function, the space of all possible images of a fixed-pose object under all possible illumination conditions is infinite dimensional. Nonetheless, it has been proven that the set of images of a convex Lambertian surface under distant illumination lies near a low dimensional linear subspace. This result was also extended to …


Design And Applications Of A Graphics Package For The Hp1000 Computer., Hsiao-Chih George Lee May 1986

Design And Applications Of A Graphics Package For The Hp1000 Computer., Hsiao-Chih George Lee

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The objective of this thesis is to develop the FORTRAN subroutine PLOTER which is a general-purpose plotting tool to plot charts on a Hewlett Packard plotter. The programs RESP and INVLAP which can plot the frequency and time responses of system functions are modified to adopt the PLOTER subroutine and are stored of the HP1000-A900 minicomputer whose software, the GRAPHICS/1000, supports the graphics ability of PLOTER. This thesis describes the theories, functions, software techniques and operations of the PLOTER subroutine and the application programs RESP and the INVLAP. It also provides program listings and example plots.
