Digitally unwrapping images of paper sheets is crucial for accurate document scanning and text recognition. This paper presents a method for automatically rectifying curved or folded paper sheets from a few images captured from multiple viewpoints. Prior methods either need expensive 3D scanners or model deformable surfaces using over-simplified parametric representations.

A form for data input is given below. Please specify the person's birth time and the birthplace. For the birth time, set the search range. For example, if it is known that the person was born between 2 PM and 3 PM, enter the average value: 2:30:00 PM and set the interval ± 30 minutes.However, with this value is better to specify with a small margin, to include all possible errors.

This is what's made us take a huge step forward in the solid surface world. We've developed our patented KEAST, Krion® Eco Active Solid Technology, bringing photocatalysis to Krion® materials in a new active surface, Krion® K Life, that still maintains all the properties and qualities of the surface. Photocatalysis is a natural process.

Biological ion channels can realize delicate mass transport under complicated physiological conditions. Artificial nanochannels that can achieve biomimetic ion current rectification (ICR), gating and selectivity are mostly performed in pure salt solutions. Synthetic nanochannels that can function under mixed ion systems are highly desirable, yet their performances are hard to be comparable to ...

In a nutshell, the flame rectification system is an electrical process that causes a low level DC current to be conducted from the flame rod through the flame, and back to ground. Technicians can measure this flame current by placing a meter that measures DC microamps in series with the flame rod.

Thermal rectification is a phenomenon in which thermal transport along a specific axis is dependent upon the sign of the temperature gradient or heat current. This phenomenon offers improved thermal management of electronics as size scales continue to decrease and new technologies emerge by having directions of preferred thermal transport.

The essence of rectification of a horoscope is as follows. If an astrologer, knowing the exact time of birth, can tell about a person's character, inclinations, priorities and important life events, then there may be a reverse procedure: having information about a person, you can define the time of birth when the horoscope most closely matches the available data.

Dec 11, 2017· The maximum of the surface depletion field is estimated to be 1.45 × 104 V/cm with 130 nm in depth under −40° incidence. Interestingly, when the incident angle is tuned from −40° to 0°, the optical rectification contribution varies from 40% to 90%. In addition, MoS2 is diagnosed to be p-type from THz waveforms by comparison with GaAs(100).

The results indicate that thermal rectification is a function of surface characteristics, material type, and heat flow direction. For similar materials in contact, some thermal rectification was observed with heat flow from the rough surface to the smooth surface resulting in a higher value of contact conductance.

Flat surface detection is one of the most common geometry inferences in computer vision. In this paper we propose detecting printed photos from original scenes, which fully exploit angular information of light field and characteristics of the flat surface. Unlike previous methods, our method does not need a prior depth estimation. The algorithm rectifies the mess epipolar lines in the epipolar ...

A smooth surface with good skid resistance, free of alligator cracks, pumping, pushing, wheel rutting, raveling, frost heaving, and pot holing, is desirable for safe travel by the ... Unsealed pavements will continue to ravel and will also age and harden at a much faster rate than normal. This condition may also encourage the loss or

In this paper, we propose an approach to camera-captured image rectification of text and non-text regions that handles perspective, geometric and rotational distortions present in planar and curled documents, extending a state-of-the-art content-based rectification method. We define surface projections via a three-tiered local transformation ...

Natural gas produced from underground reservoir is saturated with water and hydrocarbon vapor. The moisture content in natural gas steream is dependent of temperature and pressure, the higher temperature and the lower pressure, the higher moisture content. As the wellhead pressure continue to declline, the water content of produced gas will continue to rise.

Surface damage on a tank be unsightly, but more importantly, it can stop your equipment from operating at its best. Understanding the types of surface damage can help you control them better. Here is an overview of the 3 most common types: Pitting. This is a localized type of corrosion in the form of cavities.

If the applied load (F) is allowed to increase, the clamp force acting on the joint will continue to decrease until the joint is fully unloaded, as can be seen in "Bolted Joint Diagram 3" (ΔJ = 0). Any further increase in the applied force will result in a gap between the plates and the bolt sustaining all …

Surface coating, any mixture of film-forming materials plus pigments, solvents, and other additives, which, when applied to a surface and cured or dried, yields a thin film that is functional and often decorative. Surface coatings include paints, drying oils and varnishes, synthetic clear coatings, and other products whose primary function is to protect the surface of an object from the ...
