Components of the Shape Revisited

2010-03-24
There are multiple and even interacting dimensions along which shape representation schemes may be compared and contrasted. In this paper, we focus on the following question. Are the building blocks in a compositional model localized in space (e.g. as in part based representations) or are they holistic simplifications (e.g. as in spectral representations)? Existing shape representation schemes prefer one or the other. We propose a new shape representation paradigm that encompasses both choices. © 2010, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.

A perceptual shape descriptor
Arica, N; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2002-08-15)
In this study, we present the two dimensional object silhouette by a one dimensional descriptor, which,preserves the perceptual structure of its shape. The proposed descriptor is based on the moments of the angles between the bearings of a point on the boundary, in a set of neighborhood systems. At each point on the boundary, the angle between a pair of bearings is calculated to extract the topological information of the boundary in a given locality. The proposed method does not use any-heuristic rule or em...
Context-sensitive matching of two shapes
Başeski, Emre; Tarı, Zehra Sibel; Department of Computer Engineering (2006)
The similarity between two shapes is typically calculated by measuring how well the properties and the spatial organization of the primitives forming the shapes agree. But, when this calculations are done independent from the context, i.e. the whole set of shapes in the experiments, a priori significance to the primitives is assigned, which may cause problematic similarity measures. A possible way of using context information in similarity measure between shape A and shape B is using the category informatio...
Search for extra dimensions in diphoton events from proton–proton collisions at $\sqrt {s} = 7\,$ TeV in the ATLAS detector at the LHC
Aad, G.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2013-4-4)
The large difference between the Planck scale and the electroweak scale, known as the hierarchy problem, is addressed in certain models through the postulate of extra spatial dimensions. A search for evidence of extra spatial dimensions in the diphoton channel has been performed using the full set of proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV recorded in 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. This dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb(-1). The diphoton invariant ...
Self-similarity in one-dimensional unsteady open channel flow through rectangular channels of varying width
Ercan, Ali; Kavvas, M.L.; Haltas, Ismail (2013-01-01)
Geophysical processes could be self-similar under certain similarity transformations at certain time and space dimensions. In this study, the conditions under which the Saint Venant equations system for unsteady open channel flow through rectangular channels of varying width becomes self-similar under various time and space scales are investigated by utilizing one-parameter Lie group of point-scaling transformations. © 2013 American Society of Civil Engineers.
Texture segmentation using the mixtures of principal component analyzers
Musa, MEM; Duin, RPW; de Ridder, D; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan (2003-01-01)
The problem of segmenting an image into several modalities representing different textures can be modelled using Gaussian mixtures. Moreover, texture image patches when translated, rotated or scaled lie in low dimensional subspaces of the high-dimensional space spanned by the grey values. These two aspects make the mixture of local subspace models worth consideration for segmenting this type of images. In recent years a number of mixtures of local PCA models have been proposed. Most of these models require ...
