Measuring Linearity of Curves

چکیده
In this paper we define a new linearity measure which can be applied to open curve segments. The new measure ranges over the interval (0,1], and produces the value 1 if and only if the measured line is a perfect straight line segment. Also, the new linearity measure is invariant with respect to translations, rotations and scaling transformations.

Measuring Linearity of Closed Curves and Connected Compound Curves
In this paper we define a new linearity measure for closed curves. We start with simple closed curves which represent the boundaries of bounded planar regions. It turns out that the method can be extended to closed curves which self-intersect and also to certain configurations consisting of several curves, including open curve segments. In all cases, the measured linearities range over the inte...
متن کاملMeasuring Linearity of Connected Configurations of a Finite Number of 2D and 3D Curves
We define a new linearity measure for a wide class of objects consisting of a set of of curves, in both 2D and 3D. After initially observing closed curves, which can be represented in a parametric form, we extended the method to connected compound curves – i.e. to connected configurations of a number of curves representable in a parametric form. In all cases, the measured linearities range over...
متن کاملMeasuring Linearity of Planar Curves
In this paper we define a new linearity measure which can be applied to open planar curve segments. We have considered the sum of the distances between the curve end points and the curve centroid. We have shown that this sum is bounded from above by the length of the curve segment considered. In addition, we have proven that this sum equals the length of the curve segment only in the case of st...
متن کاملMeasuring Linearity of Ordered Point Sets
It is often practical to measure how linear a certain ordered set of points is. We are interested in linearity measures which are invariant to rotation, scaling, and translation. These linearity measures should also be calculated very quickly and be resistant to protrusions in the data set. No such measures exist in literature. We propose several such measures here: average sorted orientations,...
متن کاملساخت و آزمون کارگاهی دینامومتر اتصال سه نقطه و چرخ پنجم سرعت سنج تراکتوری
For measuring draft force and drawbar power requirements for mounted implements, precise instruments such as three-point hitch dynamometers and tractor speed measurement devices are needed. In this research, a frame-type three-point hitch dynamometer was built and evaluated. Forces applied to dynamometer are measured by three separate load cells located on a frame which can be attached to tract...
