Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Near-Regular Texture Synthesis by Random Sampling and Gap Filling
No full textThis paper addresses the synthesis of near-regular textures, i.e. textures that consist of a regular global structure plus subtle yet very characteristic stochastic irregularities. Such textures are difficult to synthesize due to the complementary characteristics of these structures. In this paper, we propose a method which we call Random Sampling and Gap Filling (RSGF) to synthesize near-regular textures. The synthesis approach is guided by a lattice of the global structure estimated from a generalized normalized autocorrelation of the sample image. This lattice constrains a random sampling process to maintain the global regular structure yet ensuring the characteristic randomness of the irregular structures. Results presented in this paper show that our method does not only produce convincing results for regular or near-regular textures but also for irregular textures.Vision, Modeling, and Visualization (2011
Warp-based Near-Regular Texture Analysis for Image-based Texture Overlay
No full textImage-based texture overlay or retexturing is the process of augmenting a surface in an image or a video sequence with a new, synthetic texture. Some properties of the original texture such as texture distortion as well as lighting conditions should be preserved for a realistic appearance of the augmented result. One approach would be to estimate a 3-dimensional geometry of the surface. However, this is an ill-posed problem for complex deformed surfaces like cloth, especially if only one image is given. In an image-based approach, these properties are directly estimated from the image. The key challenge is to separate the shading information from the actual local texture and to retrieve the texture distortion from an image without any knowledge of the underlying scene. In this paper, we model an image of a deformed regular texture as a combination of its deformed surface albedo, a shading map and additional high frequency details. We present a method for determination of these intrinsic parts of a given texture image by first estimating the appearance of a small texture element and then synthesizing a reference image of the undeformed regular texture. In a subsequent image-based optimization method this reference image is iteratively warped spatially and photometrically onto the original image whilst estimating deformation and illumination parameters. The decomposition is used to create images of new textures with the same deformation and illumination properties as in the original image.Vision, Modeling, and Visualization (2011

A Global Optimization Approach to High-detail Reconstruction of the Head
No full textThe paper presents an approach for reconstructing head-and-shoulder portraits of people from calibrated stereo images with a high level of geometric detail. In contrast to many existing systems, our reconstructions cover the full head, including hair. This is achieved using a global intensity-based optimization approach which is stated as a parametric warp estimation problem and solved in a robust Gauss-Newton framework. We formulate a computationally efficient warp function for mesh-based estimation of depth which is based on a well known image-registration approach and adapted to the problem of 3D reconstruction. We address the use of sparse correspondence estimates for initializing the optimization as well as a coarse-to-fine scheme for reconstructing without specific initialization. We discuss issues of regularization and brightness constancy violations and show various results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.Vision, Modeling, and Visualization (2011
