Surfacing and Look Development for an Animated Film using Per-Face Texture Mapping and Procedural Shading

Surfacing is the process of creating materials and textures for objects in an animated film. For as much effort that is put into the story and animation of a film, an equal amount of effort must be put into surfacing and look development in order to create a world that is believable to the audience and advances the progression of the narrative. The surfaces presented in this scene draw on the works of artists such as Johan Messely, Hayao Miyazaki, and Parisian architect Georges-Eug`ene Haussmann with each artist having their own unique influence on the scene. A well-designed surface can bring out certain emotions from the audience, and the works of these artists do just that. The surfaces in the scene draw on these artists in order to convey a cozy Parisian town square in the middle of a summer day. Therefore, the goal of this scene is to cause the audience to feel comfort, contentment, and a sense of home even if they have never visited Paris. This thesis will focus on multiple methods for surfacing that do not require models to be UV unwrapped. The first is a system developed by Walt Disney Animation Studios, known as Per-Face Texture Mapping (Ptex). The second being procedural shading within RenderMan for Maya. Both of these methods offer specific production advantages that will save time, yet still give the artist the freedom to art direct their shaders and textures.
Some aspects of the geochemistry of kimberlites from the Premier Mine, Transvaal, South Africa

The Premier kimberlite pipe is unique in relation to other kimberlite occurrences in Southern Africa in that it is the only known Pre-cambrian kimberlite, >1150±15 m.y. ( 1), whereas all other occurrences are believed to be of Cretaceous age.It is intrusive into a plug of igneous rocks which is related to the well known Bushveld Igneous Complex (19501150m.y.)The Premier diatreme is a complex, multiple intrusion in which at least eight different types of kimberlite are macroscopically distin¬ guishable, all containing diamonds in economic quantities.These differ¬ ent types are thought to be derivatives of three major brecciated basal¬ tic kimberlites which are associated with separate intrusive events.In order of intrusion they are: Type 2 Brown+Type 1 Grey+Type 3 Black.Some of these kimberlites contain large numbers of lithic and basic rock fragments generally of Bushveld parentage as well as fragments and rafts of Waterberg quartzite (2).Representative samples (V50 kg) of each type were collected at dif¬ ferent levels within the mine and where possible, away from mixed con¬ tact zones.Samples were analysed for major and trace elements by X-ray fluor¬ escence, X.R.F.(3), instrumental neutron activation analysis, I.N.A.A.
SearchRank Fraud and Malware Detection in Google play using Finer Cluster process

The commercial success of Android app markets such as Google Play and the incentive model they offer to popular apps, make them appealing targets for fraudulent and malicious behaviours. Some fraudulent developers deceptively boost the search rank and popularity of their apps while malicious developers use app markets as a launch pad for their malware. In this project, introduce FairPlay , a novel system that discovers and leverages traces left behind by fraudsters, to detect both malware and apps subjected to search rank fraud. This project shows that an adversary can successfully infer a victim’s vertex identity and community identity by the knowledge of degrees within a time period. The project also includes a new supervised clustering algorithm to find groups of data (coarse and finer cluster). It directly incorporates the information of sample categories into the fraud clustering process.
Who is next?: Identifying characteristics of European banks that are key in influencing the target selection of banking malware.

The European financial sector is a frequent victim of banking malware leading to massive losses. It appears that not all customers’ banks are equally attractive targets among cybercriminals who deploy banking malware. This research established a comprehensive regression model explaining why certain banks are more attractive to cybercriminals. The model proves that large banks, banks that are part of a banking group, banks with a high brand value, and banks which websites have a high domain-popularity, bear a higher probability to be (more frequently) targeted. Two-factor authentication doesn’t seem as effective as might expected. The use of this security measure does not decrease the chance for a bank to be targeted. However, the presence of this measure has an influence on a lower target frequency. Furthermore, it is shown that banks offering a largely spoken language on their website do not ease the banking malware attacks. Further research is needed to enhance and improve the model. The independence in the model can be reduced and more bank characteristics could be added, especially factors related to the ease to launder money.

A Novel to Identify Multiple faces by tracking 2D Face Images over 3D Plane

Nowadays, face recognition is very much effective way of counter security threats in various aspects of human life. Though, other means of defending security attacks exists but they have their own drawbacks and overheads. Human face can be recognized from 2D face images or from 3D geometry of human faces. Although very popular, 2D face recognition algorithms are constrained by various factors like change in illumination, varying facial expressions, make-up on the face and orientation of the head. On the other hand face recognition based on 3D geometry of the faces has been shown to have more correctness than 2D face recognition. The only technological drawback however is that the 3D cameras are much less common than 2D based cameras. Therefore the work propose a novel facial expression recognition in real-time by tracking 2D face over a 3D plane. We use multiple 2D planes projected on each-other such that a 2D facial feature point is projected over all the planes, selecting the closest points over the plane and finally creating a contour enclosing the projected feature point over multiple planes, thereby creating a 3D tracking plane with 2D feature point. We use Cambridge landmark markers [4, 5] for facial tracking with multiple Homomorphic projection [5] for creating the 3D feature points. This technique has been proven better in terms of accuracy improvement.

Gerenciamento e desenvolvimento de software utilizando métodos ágeis com foco na qualidade - uma proposta de fatores e ferramentas

One of the main goals of Software Engineering is to produce software with quality. But with the increasing use of agile methodologies in software development, it is observed that the existing quality assurance models do not adapt easily to these methods. In this context, the objective of this research is to propose critical factors of success (CFS) and tools for software development and management environment using agile methods, focusing on quality. Thus, initially, a literature review was conducted in SCOPUS and SCIELO bases, identifying 21 CFS, which were grouped into three categories: Individual; Organizational; and Technical / Process. Based on these factors, a questionnaire was applied to specialists in software management and development, reaching the sample of 101 respondents, with the most important CFS belonging to the Personal category, which reinforces the need for investment in this area. After this field research, a case study was done in a public company that uses traditional methods, making it possible to propose a development and management environment of software, adding the best practices, tools and CFS with the purpose of improve the quality of delivery of the final product. It was also observed the applicability of the agile Scrum method, allied to Kanban, taking advantage of the best practices of both, and how much was relevant in the context of the company, demonstrating the importance of agile methods to improve the quality and productivity of the whole team, including customers and sponsors. In addition, the present work generates an CFS base for knowledge of the academic community.
The Potential of the m-Health Platform to Safeguard Public Health: The Nigerian Example

Nigeria has a problem with fake drugs. This issue got to an intolerable height in 1989 when over 150 children died as a result of ingesting paracetamol syrup containing diethylene glycol. The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) was formed in 1993, as an agency under the Nigerian federal ministry of health, to check the tide of fake drugs and adulterated products. To achieve this mission, NAFDAC, in 2010, launched the Mobile Authentication Service (MAS) – a mobile-phone m-Health platform, which empowers medication drug users to instantaneously verify the authenticity or otherwise of a medication drug before purchase. This study sought to ascertain the workability of MAS among medication drug users; and factors negating this platform. The study was designed as a survey. Data was collected from 400 medication drug users in Lagos state, Nigeria, through a structured survey.  Results show that 91 percent of the respondents were aware of MAS and 53 percent among these utilized it prior to purchasing medication drugs, while 9 percent were neither aware of MAS nor utilize it. The notable barriers to the use of MAS found in this study were lack of awareness and the unreliable nature of the MAS.

Searching for the Geodetic Signature of Wastewater Injection at The Geysers Geothermal Field

Author(s): Terry, Rachel LeeAnn | Advisor(s): Funning, Gareth | Abstract: The Geysers geothermal field in northern California has seen subsidence, attributed to net volume loss during power production, since at least the 1960s. Over the last three decades this has been accompanied by reductions in reservoir steam pressure and power generation. To combat these effects, wastewater has been injected in the field since 1997. In order to better understand the effects of variations in production and wastewater injection on geothermal reservoir volume and surface subsidence over time, two continuously-recording GPS stations (TG01 and TG02) in the northern Geysers in 2012 and one in the southern Geysers (TG03) in 2013 were installed in the field.In this thesis, I will present our first analyses of the continuous GPS data and our first attempt at modeling the data. Both TG01 and TG02 show early periods of uplift and later subsidence while TG03 shows ongoing subsidence. Next, we downsample steam extraction and injection data onto a rectangular grid and calculate ‘observed’ monthly volume changes as a function of position. We then use these to drive a forward elastic dislocation model to predict surface deformation changes each month in The Geysers field. The models cannot reproduce the GPS data, specifically the uplift that occurs at TG01. We then compare the observed volume changes with inverse elastic dislocation models of the volume changes required to reproduce the GPS time series. Due to low spatial resolution, we compare the total volume change in the field, which is comparable amplitude, and shows periods where the peaks are in phase, and periods where they are out of phase. In these cases, the peaks in the inverse modeled volume changes lag those in the reported data by one month. These 'out-of-phase periods' correlate with periods of peak injection in the field, typically in the winter and early spring months, suggesting that the GPS data are detecting a delayed deformation response to injection in the field, possibly related to the finite permeability of the geothermal reservoir rocks.We also look at a case study of The Geysers Mw 5.0 earthquake. This earthquake is a rare small shallow strike-slip earthquake capable of producing surface displacements. Our three continuous GPS stations in the field recorded coseismic displacement of up to 2 cm. We also were able to see the earthquake displacement in a 6-day descending interferogram. We ran forward and inverse models of both nodal planes provided by earthquake catalogs and found that both nodal planes produce consistent deformation patterns although the inverse model closely matched the NNW-striking nodal plane.
Su1681 USEFULNESS OF NARROW-BAND IMAGING WITH DUAL-FOCUS MAGNIFICATION USING JNET CLASSIFICATION FOR DIAGNOSIS OF DIMINUTIVE AND SMALLCOLORECTAL POLYPS

The “resect and discard” strategy offers costs savings benefits because it does not involve histological evaluation of tissue specimens. However, discarding polyps without histological evaluation runs the risk of failing to detect diminutive and small colorectal invasive cancer. In order to make accurate diagnosis, narrow-band imaging (NBI) magnifying and chromoendoscopy are needed, but it requires lot of time and cost. On the other hand, NBI with dual-focus magnification (DF-NBI) can easily provide almost the same image of optical zoom magnifying images only by pushing the button.The aim of this study is to clarify the usefulness of DF-NBI to diagnosis diminutive and smallcolorectal lesions.

SISTEM INFORMASI MANAJEMEN ADMINISTRASI PENGOLAHAN DATA TENAGA SECURITY (STUDI KASUS : PT. GARDA UTAMA ARTHADARMA)

There are so many companies that perform manual administration processes makes it difficult for companies to manage information data related to service requests for labor services and other processes. In this modern era, we should use information technology as a tool to facilitate the public in various activities, one of which is the administrative process of data processing. PT. Garda Utama Arthadarma is an outsourcing service company that supplies security workers who still have shortcomings in the administrative process, this company still uses manual systems in the process of service requests for labor services by client companies, where client companies must come directly to the office to carry out administrative processes so that they are considered not efficient. Then we need an information system for computerized administrative processes at PT. Garda Utama Arthadarma who can help solve problems. The results obtained from this information system areimproving services in the form of convenience regarding administrative services that can be done anywhere by the client through the website, complaints or complaints against labor services is easier and each member of the workforce can easily get information about the allocation of work placements or work order. This research was developed through qualitative methods, namely data collection through library research, observation, and interviews. Software development methods using Waterfall Model Data were analyzed using the PIECES method. Administrative management information system data processing security force is built with the PHP programming language and utilizes the MySQL database as a database server. The expected result is this information system can facilitate the process of administration and data storage

Photon super-bunching from a generic tunnel junction

Generating correlated photon pairs at the nanoscale is a prerequisite to creating highly integrated optoelectronic circuits that perform quantum computing tasks based on heralded single-photons. Here we demonstrate fulfilling this requirement with a generic tip-surface metal junction. When the junction is luminescing under DC bias, inelastic tunneling events of single electrons produce a photon stream in the visible spectrum whose super-bunching index is 17 when measured with a 53 picosecond instrumental resolution limit. These photon bunches contain true photon pairs of plasmonic origin, distinct from accidental photon coincidences. The effect is electrically rather than optically driven - completely absent are pulsed lasers, down-conversions, and four-wave mixing schemes. This discovery has immediate and profound implications for quantum optics and cryptography, notwithstanding its fundamental importance to basic science and its ushering in of heralded photon experiments on the nanometer scale.
Contextual Cueing in a Comparative Visual Search task.

In simple visual search tasks repetition of spatial context reduces RTs when the context is predictive of target location (Chun & Jiang, 1998, Cognitive Psychology, 36, 28–71). To analyze how far cueing effects can be generalized to other tasks, in this study we tried to reproduce contextual cuing in a different kind of visual search: comparative search. In each trial, the screen was divided in two halves and an identical random configuration of eight elements (red and green squares and circles) was presented in each. Both halves differed either on one element’s color or shape. In each trial participants had to find the element that was different and indicate the differential feature. Four configurations were repeated 14 times along the experiment, intermixed with newly generated configurations. For each of the repeated configurations the critical item always appeared at the same location, but the differential feature varied across repetitions. Eye movements and RTs were recorded during the task. Results showed no differences on average RTs between repeated and new configurations. However, since RTs in these tasks are clearly affected by the cognitive processes involved in confirming the mismatch, we performed a more detailed analysis of eye fixations. Following the methods described by Pomplun (Pomplun et al, 2001, Cognitive Science, 25, 3–36) trials were divided in two phases: Search and Verification, and all fixations detected in each trial were categorized in one of these groups. The effect of repetition was calculated separately for the average fixation count for each phase. Results showed that Verification fixations decreased significantly more in number over epochs for repeated configurations. Search fixations, however, did not vary between repeated and new configurations. This suggests that, in comparative visual search, contextual cueing effects do not facilitate search, but optimize the verification process prior to response.
