Reconstruction Techniques for Image Analysis of Ancient Islamic Mosaics
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a methodology for tile image reconstruction. This methodology is integrated in a computer tool that allows automatic image analysis. Both, the reconstruction and analysis techniques are based on vectorial tools, the application of the theory of symmetry groups and perceptual psychology. Image analysis allows us to obtain information about design patterns which is used to restitute (recover missing motifs), unify (choose between different motifs that should be equal) and standardize (fit motifs exactly to their symmetry axes and rotation centers) old designs. This methodology for tile image reconstruction has been applied to different Islamic mosaics from the Alhambra of Granada (Spain), the Aq-Saray Palace of Shar-i-Sabz (Uzbekistan) and the Red Fortress of Agra (India). The analysis results are presented in this paper.

Stereo Mosaics from a Moving Video Camera for Environmental Monitoring
Environmental monitoring using automated analysis of high-resolution aerial video is an application of growing importance with its own set of technical challenges. A mosaic is a commonly used tool for representing the enormous amount of data generated from aerial video sequences in an easily viewable form. In contrast to the usual applications of mosaics, the environmental monitoring domain req...

Although, most of the abnormal structures of human brain do not alter the shape of outer envelope of brain (surface), some abnormalities can deform the surface extensively. However, this may be a major problem in a surface-based registration technique, since two nearly identical surfaces are required for surface fitting process. A type of verification known as the circularity check for th...
متن کاملTessella-oriented segmentation and guidelines estimation of ancient mosaic images
Automatic segmentation and analysis of ancient mosaic images can help archeologists and experts build digital collections and automatically compare mosaics by means of image database indexing and content-based retrieval tools. However, ancient mosaics are characterized by low contrast colors, irregular tessella shape, orientation and positioning, making automatic segmentation difficult. In this...

Human groups have considered the Behshahr plain of Mazandaran in the past Due to its particular geographical shape, location between the Caspian Sea and mountains, and the existence of some rivers in the region. However, our knowledge of this area is limited to several published surveys and archaeological investigation of its ancient sites. No detailed research has conducted on the formation of...
متن کاملFast System Matrix Calculation in CT Iterative Reconstruction
Introduction: Iterative reconstruction techniques provide better image quality and have the potential for reconstructions with lower imaging dose than classical methods in computed tomography (CT). However, the computational speed is major concern for these iterative techniques. The system matrix calculation during the forward- and back projection is one of the most time- cons...
