Skeletal Reconstruction of Branching Shapes
We present a new method for the implicit reconstruction of branching shapes from a set of scattered data points. The method is based on the computation of a geometric skeleton inside the data set. This skeleton is simplified in order to filter noise and converted into skeletal elements – a graph of interconnected curves – that generate an implicit surface. We use Bézier triangles as extra skele...
متن کاملSkeletal representations of orthogonal shapes
Skeletal representations are important shape descriptors which encode topological and geometrical properties of shapes and reduce their dimension. Skeletons are used in several fields of science and attract the attention of many researchers. In the BioCAD field, the analysis of structural properties such as porosity of biomaterials requires the previous computation of a skeleton. As the size of...
متن کاملDetermining the skeletal description of sparse shapes
A variety of techniques in machine vision involve representation of objects by using their shape skeleton. Many algorithms have been proposed to date for obtaining the skeletal shape of digital images. The noise models predominantly used in these techniques are restricted to boundary noise. In particular, instances of noise occurring inside object regions and causing their non-contiguity are pr...
متن کاملAsymptotic frequency of shapes in supercritical branching trees
The shapes of branching trees have been linked to disease transmission patterns. In this paper we use the general Crump-Mode-Jagers branching process to model an outbreak of an infectious disease under mild assumptions. Introducing a new class of characteristic functions, we are able to derive a formula for the limit of the frequency of the occurrences of a given shape in a general tree. The co...
متن کاملReconstruction of the Bellman-Harris branching
Consider the single-species, independent-particle, Bellman-Harris 9 branching process, defined by a progeny number distribution, and a particle 10 lifetime distribution. In this paper, we explore the existence and uniqueness of 11 the inverse problem, where one wishes to solve for the progeny number or lifetime 12 distribution given information about the total number distribution. Results 13 ar...
