A mechanical deformation of a continuum can be expressed as a generalized coordinate transformation of space. Consequently, the equations of electrostatics in deformable media must satisfy covariance ...

Abstract: An accurate near-field diffraction synthesis method for 2-D shaped reflectors in the E-polarized wave is presented. The implemented method is based on a singular integral equation (SIE), ...

In image acquisition process, the quality of microscopic images will be degraded by electrical noise, quantizing noise, light illumination etc. Hence, image preprocessing is necessary and important to ...

Abstract: Studies the recovery of shape from texture under perspective projection. We regard shape from texture as a statistical estimation problem, the texture being the realization of a stochastic ...

Gradient is a measure of how steep a slope is. The greater the gradient the steeper a slope is. The smaller the gradient the shallower a slope is. Gradient is usually expressed as a simplified ...

In many normative theories of synaptic plasticity, weight updates implicitly depend on the chosen parametrization of the weights. This problem relates, for example, to neuronal morphology: synapses ...

We can calculate the gradient of a tangent to a curve by differentiating. In order to find the equation of a tangent, we: Differentiate the equation of the curve Substitute the \(x\) value into the ...
