Decomposition of Longitudinal Deformations via Beltrami Descriptors

Image retargeting via Beltrami representation

Image retargeting aims to resize an image to one with a prescribed aspect ratio. Simple scaling inevitably introduces unnatural geometric distortions on the important content of the image. In this paper, we propose a simple and yet effective method to resize an image, which preserves the geometry of the important content, using the Beltrami representation. Our algorithm allows users to interact...

Multiscale Representation of Deformation via Beltrami Coefficients

Image Processing via the Beltrami Operator

We present a framework for enhancing images while pre serving either the edge or the orientation dependent texture informa tion present in them We do this by treating images as manifolds in a feature space This geometrical interpretation leads to a natural way for grey level color movies volumetric medical data and color texture im age enhancement Following this we invoke the Polyakov action fr...

Deformations via Dimension Theory

We show that standard arguments for deformations based on dimension counts can also be applied over a (not necessarily Noetherian) valuation ring A of rank 1. Key intermediate results are a principal ideal theorem for schemes of finite type over A, and a theorem on subadditivity of intersection codimension for schemes smooth over A.

Facile synthesis of Ni/NiO nanocomposites via thermal decomposition

In this study, Ni/NiO nanocomposites were prepared using simple, environment-friendly and low-cost solid-state thermal decomposition method from nickel (II) Schiff base complex at 400 and 500°C for 3 hours. The Ni/NiO nanocomposites were characterized with Fourier transformed infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray fluores...
