Polarization Images: A Geometric Interpretation for Shape Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a framework for the geometric interpretation of a single polarization image taken of specular reflecting objects. The task of recovering 3D shape information of specular objects from intensity images is a difficult if not impossible one, as no intensity based features are available. Polarization analysis provides additional features to overcome the problem. In particular the orientation of polarized light is measured, from which constraints on the object surfaces can be deduced. We show how to perform shape analysis from a single polarization image. This new method is applied to local deformation measuring. Along with a discussion of polarization and related geometric issues, algorithms are presented and substantiated

Phenotypic plasticity of the body shape in wild and farmed common carp (Cyprinus carpio) using geometric morphometric method
The aim of this study was to investigate the body shape and morphological comparison between the populations of wild (marine) and farmed common carp using geometric morphology. For this purpose, 65 pieces of fish including 23 wild common carp and 42 farmed common carp were sampled. The samples were then photographed and 16 landmarks were identified on the images. Procrast analysis was used in o...

Extended Abstract Background and objectives: Google Earth images are a valuable resource for understanding and studying the natural area's ecology due to their high spatial resolution. Considering that these images have been available for many years, in our country, these valuable data have not been used enough, especially in order to study vegetation and optimal natural areas management. So, ...
