Representing Contours as Sequence of One Dimensional Functions
نویسنده
چکیده
A sequence of one-dimensional geometric descriptions is suggested, for representing the contours of text characters (blobs) in black and white scanned textual images. This representation can be used to analytically encode alphabets of similar blobs into pseudo-fonts that are resolution independent, while simultaneously maximizing compression potential. Such a sequential one-dimensional representation was found to retain flexibility and to be at least twice as compact, when compared to two-dimensional contour representations classically used for representing generated resolution independent fonts.

On Numerical Investigation of Non-dimensional Constant Representing the Occurrence of Secondary Peaks in the Nusselt Distribution Curves
The Study of heat transfer augmentation in micro scale and electronic packaging systems are some of the paramount areas of the impending universe. In such systems the cooling of the heat sinks are generally achieved through the impingement of air jet. Assuming the air jet to be continues & incompressible fluid, the heat dissipation rate over the target surface seems to either uniform or well ch...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of modified bentlegPlow using finite element approach
ABSTRACT-This paper aims to develop a new design of a bentleg (BL) plow and to determine its performance as compared to the conventional one using finite element approach. The difference between the modified and conventional BL plows is the direction of angle between the projection of cutting blade on horizontal plane normal to plow shank and the line perpendicular to the plow shank in the same...
متن کاملVisual Analysis of Spatial Variability and Global Correlations in Ensembles of Iso-Contours
For an ensemble of iso-contours in multi-dimensional scalar fields, we present new methods to a) visualize their dominant spatial patterns of variability, and b) to compute the conditional probability of the occurrence of a contour at one location given the occurrence at some other location. We first show how to derive a statistical model describing the contour variability, by representing the ...
متن کاملOn the Minimax Optimality of Block Thresholded Wavelets Estimators for ?-Mixing Process
We propose a wavelet based regression function estimator for the estimation of the regression function for a sequence of ?-missing random variables with a common one-dimensional probability density function. Some asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator based on block thresholding are investigated. It is found that the estimators achieve optimal minimax convergence rates over large class...

A general initial-boundary value problem of one-dimensional transient wave propagation in a multi-layered elastic medium due to arbitrary boundary or interface excitations (either prescribed tractions or displacements) is considered. Laplace transformation technique is utilised and the Laplace transform inversion is facilitated via an unconventional method, where the expansion of complex-valued...
