Order of Magnitude Markers: An Empirical Study on Large Magnitude Number Detection

extremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude

a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...

An Order of Magnitude Calculus

This paper develops a simple calculus for order of magnitude reasoning. A semantics is given with soundness and completeness results. Order of magnitude probability functions are easily defined and turn out to be equivalent to kappa functions, which are slight generalisations of Spohn’s Natural Conditional Functions. The calculus also gives rise to an order of magnitude decision theory, which c...

Order of Magnitude Reasoning

This paper presents a methodology for extending representation and reasoning in Qualitative Physics. This methodology is presently used for various applications. The qualitative modeling of a physical system is weakened by the lack of quantitative information. This may lead a qualitative analysis to ambiguity. One of the aims of this methodology is to cope with the lack of quantitative informat...
