Segmenting by seeking the symmetry axis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a method for segmenting a shape from an image and simultaneously determining its symmetry axis. The symmetry is used to help the segmentation and in turn the segmentation determines the symmetry. The problem is formulated as one of minimizing a goodness of fitness function and Dijkstra’s algorithm is used to find the global minimum of the cost function. The results are illustrated on real images.

Calculations of Dihedral Groups Using Circular Indexation
In this work, a regular polygon with $n$ sides is described by a periodic (circular) sequence with period $n$. Each element of the sequence represents a vertex of the polygon. Each symmetry of the polygon is the rotation of the polygon around the center-point and/or flipping around a symmetry axis. Here each symmetry is considered as a system that takes an input circular sequence and g...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF TWELVE WEEKS OF SENSORIMOTOR EXERCISES ON DISTRIBUTION PLANTAR PRESSURE VARIABLES AND SYMMETRY INDEX IN PATIENTS WITH PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME: A RANDOMIZED DOUBLE-BLIND CLINICAL TRIAL
Background & Aims: In patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome, the presence of pain, proprioception, and neuromuscular disorders leads to posture control disorder, which causes abnormal distribution plantar pressure. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of twelve weeks of sensorimotor exercises on distribution plantar pressure variables and symmetry index in patients wi...
متن کاملOptimization of Conformal Mapping Functions used in Developing Closed-Form Solutions for Underground Structures with Conventional cross Sections
Elastic solutions applicable to single underground openings usually suffer from geometry related simplification. Most tunnel shapes possess two axes of symmetry while a wide range of geometries used in tunneling practice involve only one symmetry axis. D-shape or horse-shoe shape tunnels and others with arched roof and floor are examples of the later category (one symmetry axis). In the present...
متن کاملBilateral symmetry embedded in noise is detected accurately only at fixation
Bilateral or mirror symmetry is a ubiquitous feature of biological forms that the visual system could exploit for segmenting an object from a cluttered background. If this is so, the visual system may be prepared to detect symmetry at all retinal locations in parallel. Indeed, a biologically plausible model that responds optimally at axes of symmetry is quite easy to construct. Our data show, h...

Background: Low Back Pain (LBP) is one of the most prevalent problems associated with sport activities. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between pain and plantar pressure variables. In addition, we compared these variables in male and female athletes with LBP. Methods: In this study, 47 participants with the age range of 18 to 25 years w...
