The Rc Transform Approach

چکیده

Iconic approaches Fisher (2) to object recognition rely upon the direct comparison between an unknown input image with of characteristic views of images of a target subject contained in an icon database. Hence, this approach to recognition is distinguished by making comparisons in icon-space as opposed to making comparisons upon a more condensed symbolic representation of the information contained within the database and unknown images. The appeal of the iconic approach is in its algorithmic simplicity, which is traded for increased memory utilisation. However, to be tractable some method of interpolating between the sampled views of the subject is usually necessary. It is also possible to constrain the visual search-space by adopting transformations that confer some form of viewpoint invariance. The RC (retino-cortical) transform, Wilson (3), a close cousin to the complex log transform, has long been used in this capacity and confers both rotational and scale invariance by converting these degrees of freedom into orthogonal linear shifts in the output cortical space, Sandini et al. (4).

PREDICTION OF LOAD DEFLECTION BEHAVIOUR OF TWO WAY RC SLAB USING NEURAL NETWORK APPROACH

Reinforced concrete (RC) slabs exhibit complexities in their structural behavior under load due to the composite nature of the material and the multitude and variety of factors that affect such behavior. Current methods for determining the load-deflection behavior of reinforced concrete slabs are limited in scope and are mostly dependable on the results of experimental tests. In this study, an ...

A Simple Approach to Predict the Shear Capacity and Failure Mode of Fix-ended Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams based on Experimental Study

Reinforced Concrete (RC) deep beams are commonly used in structural design to transfer vertical loads when there is a vertical discontinuity in the load path. Due to their deep geometry, the force distribution within the RC deep beams is very different than the RC shallow beams. There are some strut and tie model (STM) already been developed for RC deep beams. However, most of these models are ...
