The Multiscale Medial Response of Grey-level Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Concordance-based Medial Axis Transform (CMAT) presented in this paper is a multiscale medial axis (MMA) algorithm that computes medial evidence from grey-level boundary measures. It differs from previous algorithms of this type in considering the symmetry of both boundary position and strength. The resultant MMA transform is not prone to the generation of spurious medial responses exhibited by previous algorithms, but accurately estimates the position of the medial axis across scale. In addition, the medial axis and object scale are more distinctly identified. Thus CMAT medialness responses are easier to interpret than responses from previously reported measures. This is illustrated using a test figure and a radiograph of a hand.

Using Grey-Level and Distance Information for Medial Surface Representation of Volume Images
A medial surface representation of a grey-level volume image is computed. The foreground is reduced to a subset topologically equivalent to the initial foreground and mainly consisting of surfaces centred within regions having locally higher intensities, here, regarded as more informative. This result is obtained by combining distance information with grey-level information. A surface skeleton ...

This paper aims to develop a numerical multiscale homogenization method for prediction of elasto-viscoplastic properties of a high performance concrete (HPC). The homogenization procedure is separated into two-levels according to the microstructure of the HPC: the mortar or matrix level and the concrete level. The elasto-viscoplastic behavior of individual microstructural phases of the matrix a...

متن کاملMultiscale Analysis of Transverse Cracking in Cross-Ply Laminated Beams Using the Layerwise Theory
A finite element model based on the layerwise theory is developed for the analysis of transverse cracking in cross-ply laminated beams. The numerical model is developed using the layerwise theory of Reddy, and the von Kármán type nonlinear strain field is adopted to accommodate the moderately large rotations of the beam. The finite element beam model is verified by comparing the present numeric...
متن کاملOn the flexural properties of multiscale nanosilica/E-glass/epoxy anisogrid-stiffened composite panels
In the present study, multiscale nanosilica/E-glass/epoxy anisogrid composite panels were investigated for flexural properties as a function of nanosilica loading in the matrix (0, 1, 3 and 5 wt.%). The surface of the silica nanoparticles was firstly modified with 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (3-GPTS). The fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed that the organic functional ...
