The Texture application launched in 2012, the product of a joint venture created two years earlier. "We could not imagine a better home or future for the service," Texture chief executive John Loughlin said. Despite Apple's spectacular trajectory in the decade since the introduction of the iPhone, the California technology titan is facing challenges on whether it can continue growth. Apple is buying digital magazine subscription service While iPhone sales are at the heart of Apple's Texture, adding to the side of its business aimed at money-making machine, the company has taken to making money from online content or services spotlighting revenue from the App Store, iCloud, Apple Music, iTunes and other content and services people tap into using its devices.

For Immediate Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE JIM HENSON COMPANY AND REHAB ENTERTAINMENT PARTNER WITH AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR KAREN KATZ ON LENA!, A NEW ANIMATED PRESCHOOL SERIES Original Series Inspired by Katz’s Award-Winning Title “The Colors of Us” and the Upcoming “My America” Hollywood, CA (July 28, 2020) Rehab Entertainment and The Jim Henson Company are partnering with award- winning author and illustrator Karen Katz to develop Lena!, an original 2D animated preschool series inspired by Katz’s acclaimed picture book The Colors of Us and her upcoming release My America, a new book from MacMillan Publishers (spring, 2021) that celebrates the experiences and stories of U.S. immigrants. Created by Katz and Sidney Clifton, Lena! follows a 7-year-old Guatemalan girl who uses her unique and imaginative way of thinking to explore her culturally diverse neighborhood, identifying ways to help her friends and neighbors along the way. There’s no problem too big or too unusual for Lena's whimsical approach to creative problem-solving in this series all about connection, and she draws from the rich diversity in her community for the resources, support, and inspiration she needs to succeed. For more than twenty years, prolific author and illustrator Karen Katz has released over 85 picture books and board books for children that have been recognized and embraced by critics and parents. Her award-winning titles, including the number-one best-selling Where is Baby’s Bellybutton? and Counting Kisses, have sold 16 million copies worldwide, in over a dozen countries. Katz and Clifton will executive produce Lena! along with John W.

However, with more and more high spatial resolution (HSR) images to deal with, conventional probabilistic topic model (PTM) usually presents the images with a dense semantic representation. This consumes more time and requires more storage space. In addition, due to the complex spectral and spatial information, a combination of multiple complementary features is proved to be an effective strategy to improve the performance for HSR image scene classification. But it should be noticed that how the distinct features are fused to fully describe the challenging HSR images, which is a critical factor for scene classification. In this paper, a semantic-feature fusion fully sparse topic model (SFF-FSTM) is proposed for HSR imagery scene classification. In SFF- FSTM, three heterogeneous features—the mean and standard deviation based spectral feature, wavelet based texture feature, and dense scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) based structural feature are effectively fused at the latent semantic level.

6 Universal Texture Compression Format Mar17
Universal Texture Compression Format WebGL/WebVR/glTF Meetup Stephanie Hurlburt Introduction I work at Binomial, a company building a texture compressor called Basis. I’m currently fully focused on building this up with my business partner, Rich Geldreich. Since Basis uniquely solves a texture compression problem, especially in the WebGL/WebVR pipelines, we are more than happy to donate our texture file format specification and transcoder as a standard to the Khronos Group. We are standardizing this as a part of glTF. Using JPEG for textures A common way to handle texture data is to compress to JPEG, and store uncompressed on the GPU It has decent reasoning behind it CPU-side (JPEGs are small!), but truly limits your graphical capacity. GPU formats were made to improve upon this pipeline! We should use them! (Side note: You don’t want to compress to JPEG and then turn that into a GPU format. Great CPU storage, but heavy runtime processing and double-artifacts and poor GPU compression) Using GPU formats for textures This is what we want to do, but there exists a problem in the existing pipeline. Right now web developers have to store a copy of every GPU format they want to support (at least ETC for Android/Metal iOS, PVRTC for non-Metal (older) iOS, and DXT for desktop-- and more if you want better quality!) To give some perspective-- even if you’re only storing one GPU format, GPU formats are not meant for CPU storage and are still very big. This is where Basis comes in One format, the size of JPEG, that turns into the GPU format you need when you need it.

CN-LBP: Complex Networks-Based Local Binary Patterns for Texture Classification
> REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR PAPER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (DOUBLE-CLICK HERE TO EDIT) < 1 CN-LBP: Complex Networks-based Local Binary Patterns for Texture Classification Zhengrui Huang 1 generative adversarial networks (GAN) [20]), etc. Abstract—To overcome the limitations of original local binary Compared with other approaches, statistic-based descriptors patterns (LBP), this article proposes a new texture descriptor (LBP) are used most widely. Original LBP was first proposed aided by complex networks (CN) and LBP, named CN-LBP. for rotation invariant texture classification in [10]. Based on the Specifically, we first abstract a texture image (TI) as directed graphs over different bands with the help of pixel distance, idea of local encoding patterns, some efficient LBP-based intensity, and gradient (magnitude and angle). Second, several variants were introduced. For instance, in [21], Zhang et al. CN-based feature measurements (including clustering coefficient, proposed a high-order information-based local derivative in-degree centrality, out-degree centrality, and eigenvector pattern (LDP) for face recognition and classification. To reduce centrality) are selected to further decipher the texture features, the sensitivity of imaging conditions, a local energy pattern which generates four feature images that can retain the image (LEP)-based descriptor was proposed in [22]. Following [22], a information as much as possible. Third, given the original TIs, gradient images (GI), and generated feature images, we can local directional number (LDN)-based descriptor was designed obtain the discriminative representation of texture images based to distinguish similar structural patterns [23]. To reduce the on uniform LBP (ULBP). Finally, the feature vector is obtained by impact of illumination and pose, Ding et al.
