Tripartite Line Tracks Qualitative Curvature Information
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a qualitative shape description which has previously been proven to be useful for object categorisation. The description is based on a set of shape primitives which we will restrict to a new subset of relations representing stylised curvature information. In contrast to other qualitative shape theories, this description enables us to distinguish different convex shapes. This is especially interesting from a cognitive point of view since these shapes show salient visual differences. It turns out that the distinction between two sides of a line together with the distinction between acute and obtuse angles make up a powerful concept of orientation information for shapes in two dimensions.

Tripartite Line Tracks - Bipartite Line Tracks
Theories of shapes are important for object recognition and for reasoning about the behaviour of objects, both tasks strongly constrained by shape. Whereas the extraction of shape properties has extensively been studied in vision, there is still a lack of qualitative shape descriptions which allow reasoning about shapes with AI techniques in a flexible manner. In this paper we present a qualita...
متن کاملTripartite Line Tracks
A new approach to qualitatively describe shapes is introduced. A set of qualitatively distinct polygons is proposed, which can be characterised by a number of predicates. Interesting properties concerning the similarity of different polygons arise. As a result, the difficulty in defining equivalence classes of polygons can be overcome in a special qualitative manner. The usefulness of this appr...

This technique, is a very useful and appealing characteristic. Contour informadubbed “curvatur...
متن کاملA geometric theory of swimming: Purcell’s swimmer and its symmetrized cousin
We develop a qualitative geometric approach to swimming at low Reynolds number which avoids solving differential equations and uses instead landscape figures of two notions of curvatures: The swimming curvature and the curvature derived from dissipation. This approach gives complete information for swimmers that swim on a line without rotations and gives the main qualitative features for genera...
متن کاملAutomatic Lane Labeling Using an Off-line Smoothing Stereo-lane Algorithm
The goal of this thesis has been to create a map of road lanes from piece-wise detections. Using images from a stereo camera, an existing algorithm is able to detect lane tracks in real-time. With a basis spline (B-spline) representation of the tracks, these curve features are converted into point features. These are combined off-line with an odometric estimate for the creation of a motion and ...
