In this study, a scale-invariant representation for closed planar curves (silhouettes) is proposed. The orientations of all points within the Gaussian scale-space of the curve are extracted. This orientation scale-space is used to create the silhouette orientation image in which the positions of each pixel indicate the curve's pixel positions and scales, whereas the colour represents orientation. The representation is extracted for multiple levels of the morphological scale-space of the silhouette. The proposed representation is invariant to scale and transformable under planar rotation. Using linear and non-linear distance learning methods, experiments on the MPEG7, ETH80 and Kimia shape datasets were conducted, with results indicating an advanced recognition capability.

Scale Invariant Sillhouette Features Akagündüz, Erdem (2013-01-01) In this study, a feature extractor and a global descriptor for closed planar curves, i.e. silhouettes, are proposed. Initially, the closed curve is arc-length sampled and the Gaussian scale-space is constructed. Using the absolute curvature values and orientations of the curves within the higher scale levels, scale invariant features are obtained. These features are transformed into a global descriptor, namely the feature images, and shape recognition is performed. The proposed method is evaluated using a s...
Sparse linear sensor arrays: analysis of recent coarray based arrays and array design for nonlinear processing Epçaçan, Erdal; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-09) In this thesis, sparse linear sensor arrays have been studied. The study of sparse arrays in this work can be considered under two main headings: Analysis and comparison of recently proposed coarray based arrays, and the adaptation of the nonlinear apodization method for linear arrays and its use in sparse linear array design. Recently proposed coarray-based sparse arrays are designed with closed form structures without the need for any optimization and have much higher degrees of freedom (DOF) than a unif...
Shape recognition with generalized beam angle statistics Tola, OO; Arica, N; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2004-04-30) In this study, we develop a new shape descriptor and matching algorithm in order to find a given template shape in an edge detected image without performing boundary extraction. The shape descriptor based on Generalized Beam Angle Statistics (GBAS) defines the angles between the lines connecting each boundary point with the rest of the points, as random variable. Then, it assigns a feature vector to each point using the moments of beam angles. The proposed matching algorithm performs shape recognition by ma...
Shape similarity measurement for boundary based features Arica, N; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2005-01-01) In this study, we propose two algorithms for measuring the distance between shape boundaries. In the algorithms, shape boundary is represented by the Beam Angle Statistics (BAS), which maps 2-D shape information into a set of 1-D functions. Firstly, we adopt Dynamic Time Warping method to develop an efficient distance calculation scheme, which is consistent with the human visual system in perceiving shape similarity. Since the starting point of the representations may differ in shapes, the best corresponden...
Hilbert functions of gorenstein monomial curves Topaloğlu Mete, Pınar; Arslan, Sefa Feza; Department of Mathematics (2005) The aim of this thesis is to study the Hilbert function of a one-dimensional Gorenstein local ring of embedding dimension four in the case of monomial curves. We show that the Hilbert function is non-decreasing for some families of Gorenstein monomial curves in affine 4-space. In order to prove this result, under some arithmetic assumptions on generators of the defining ideal, we determine the minimal generators of their tangent cones by using the standard basis and check the Cohen-Macaulayness of them.
