Critical Balls

چکیده
This paper introduces the concept of critical ball. Critical balls are maximal balls which are necessary and sufficient to describe and rebuild sets, contrary to maximal balls where some redundancy exists. A general definition of a critical ball is given in continuous spaces and some of its main properties are depicted. Thanks to a slight modification of their definition, critical balls can also be used in digital spaces. Then, we explain how to extract them rapidly through the use of two residual transformations. Finally, some examples of use of critical balls for shape description and image segmentation are briefly presented.

Covering the whole space with Poisson random balls
We consider Poisson random balls in R, with the pair (center, radius) given by a Poisson point process in Rd×(0,+∞). According to the intensity measure of the Poisson process, we investigate the eventuality of covering the whole space with the union of the balls. We exhibit a disjunction phenomenon between the coverage with large balls (low frequency) and the coverage with small balls (high fre...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF WEAR AND IMPACT PROPERTIES OF GRINDING BALLS USED IN SARCHESHMEH COPPER PLANT
Abstract: Ball mills are used in the last stage of ore processing for grinding raw materials. Forged 70Cr2 alloy steel and Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) balls are materials from which grinding balls are made for Sarcheshmeh Copper Plant (SCP) ball mills. In the present study wear and impact properties of these two kinds of balls have been investigated. Some balls randomly were selected as ...
متن کاملAn investigation of the corrosive wear of steel balls in grinding of sulphide ores
Ball mills are common grinding equipment in mineral processing industries. Ball wear results from three mechanisms namely impact, abrasion and corrosion. Of these, the corrosion mechanism is the least investigated, due to its chemical-electrochemical nature. Therefore, the aims of this research were to investigate the grinding chemistry influence (slurry pH, solid percentage, water chemistry an...
متن کاملPhase transitions precipitated by solitosynthesis
Solitosynthesis of Q-balls in the false vacuum can result in a phase transition of a new kind. Formation and subsequent growth of Q-balls via the charge accretion proceeds until the solitons reach a critical charge, at which point it becomes energetically favorable for the Q-ball interior to expand filling space with the true vacuum phase. Solitosynthesis can destabilize a false vacuum even whe...
متن کاملWeighing the "heaviest" Polya urn
For the classical Polya urn model parametrized by exponent γ, the limit distributions of the fraction of balls in each bin are simple and well known when γ < 1 (“egalitarian”) and when γ > 1 (“winner takes all”). In this note, we partially fill in the gap for γ = 1, the critical point, by providing explicit analytical expressions for all the moments of the limit distribution of the fraction of ...
