An ever-growing number of real-world computer vision applications require classification, segmentation, retrieval, or realistic rendering of genuine materials. However, the appearance of real materials dramatically changes with illumination and viewing variations. Thus, the only reliable representation of material visual properties requires capturing of its reflectance in as wide range of light and camera position combinations as possible. This is a principle of the recent most advanced texture representation, the Bidirectional Texture Function (BTF). Multispectral BTF is a seven-dimensional function that depends on view and illumination directions as well as on planar texture coordinates. BTF is typically obtained by measurement of thousands of images covering many combinations of illumination and viewing angles. However, the large size of such measurements has prohibited their practical exploitation in any sensible application until recently. During the last few years, the first BTF measurement, compression, modeling, and rendering methods have emerged. In this paper, we categorize, critically survey, and psychophysically compare such approaches, which were published in this newly arising and important computer vision and graphics area.

Addressing the high cost and long cycle associated with the multistep digital restoration process involving 3D printing technology, we proposed the 3D pen as an innovative strategy for rapid bone repair. Capitalizing on the low melting point characteristic of polycaprolactone (PCL), we introduced, for the first time, the novel concept of directly constructing scaffolds at bone defect sites using 3D pens. In this in vitro study, we meticulously evaluated both the mechanical and biological properties of 3D pen-printed PCL scaffolds with six distinct textures: unidirectional (UNI) (0°, 45°, 90°), bidirectional (BID) (-45°/45°, 0°/90°), and concentric (CON).

Objective: Social communication difficulties are a characteristic of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition. The earlier method of diagnosing autism largely relied on error-prone behavioral observation of symptoms. More intelligence approaches are in progress to diagnose the disorder, which still demands improvement in prediction accuracy.

Malignant thyroid nodules are closely linked to cancer, making the precise classification of thyroid nodules into benign and malignant categories highly significant. However, the subtle differences in contour between benign and malignant thyroid nodules, combined with the texture features obscured by the inherent noise in ultrasound images, often result in low classification accuracy in most models. To address this, we propose a Bidirectional Interaction Directional Variance Attention Model based on Increased-Transformer, named IFormer-DVNet.

Background: The Automatic Essay Score (AES) prediction system is essential in education applications. The AES system uses various textural and grammatical features to investigate the exact score value for AES. The derived features are processed by various linear regressions and classifiers that require the learning pattern to improve the overall score.

Article Synopsis
- MRI is essential for diagnosing and staging prostate cancer, requiring precise differentiation between the peripheral zone (PZ) and transition zone (TZ) for effective analysis.
- Current segmentation methods face challenges like unclear boundaries and variations in shape and texture, leading to inaccuracies in diagnosis.
- The proposed Enhanced MixFormer and MixUNETR models improve feature extraction from PZ and TZ, enhancing segmentation accuracy in prostate MRI, as shown through extensive experiments on various datasets.
