Snakes with Ellipse-Reproducing Property
We present a new class of continuously defined parametric snakes using a special kind of exponential splines as basis functions. We have enforced our bases to have the shortestpossible support subject to some design constraints to maximize efficiency. While the resulting snakes are versatile enough to provide a good approximation of any closed curve in the plane, their most important feature is...
متن کاملFurther thoughts on a focusing property of the ellipse
If a billiard ball is fired from one focus of an elliptical table, its trajectory will pass alternately through the two foci of the table and will quickly become indistinguishable from a repeated tracing of the major axis of the table. In 3-dimensions, an ellipsoid of revolution has focusing properties similar to those of an ellipse. Frantz [1] has used this fact, together with geometrical opti...
متن کاملMore on the Pedal Property of the Ellipse
In this note we prove that if a convex body in the three dimensional Euclidean space has the pedal property of the ellipse, then it is an ellipsoid of revolution. We also give a family of curves in the plane with exactly one point which behaves, in some sense, like a focus on an ellipse. Finally, we study another property of the ellipse which we name the harmonic property and prove that a conve...
متن کاملEllipse Fitting with Hyperaccuracy
For fitting an ellipse to a point sequence, ML (maximum likelihood) has been regarded as having the highest accuracy. In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of a “hyperaccurate” method which outperforms ML. This is made possible by error analysis of ML followed by subtraction of high-order bias terms. Since ML nearly achieves the theoretical accuracy bound (the KCR lower bound), the result...
متن کاملOn The Perimeter of an Ellipse
Let E be the ellipse with major and minor radii a and b respectively, and Pbe its perimeter, then P = lim 4 tan(p/n)(a + b + 2) Σ a2 cos2 (2k-2)Pi/n+ sin2 (2k-2)Pi/n; where n = 2m. So without considering the limit, it gives a reasonable approxi-mation for P, it means that we can choose n large enough such that the amountof error be less than any given small number. On the other hand, the form...
