Euler Vector: A Combinatorial Signature for Gray-Tone Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new combinatorial characterization of a gray-tone image called Euler Vector is proposed. Euler number of a binary image is a well-known topological feature, which remains invariant under translation, rotation, scaling, and rubber-sheet transformation of the image. Euler vector comprises of a 4-tuple, where each element is an integer representing the Euler number of the partial binary image formed by the four most significant bit planes of the graytone image. Experimental results demonstrate robustness of Euler vector under compression and inclusion of noise followed by filtering. The vector is topologically invariant and can be used for image indexing and retrieval.

The Signature of a Toric Variety
We identify a combinatorial quantity (the alternating sum of the h-vector) defined for any simple polytope as the signature of a toric variety. This quantity was introduced by R. Charney and M. Davis in their work, which in particular showed that its nonnegativity is closely related to a conjecture of H. Hopf on the Euler characteristic of a nonpositively curved manifold. We prove positive (or ...

If a real value invariant of closed combinatorial manifolds admits a local formula that depends only on the f -vector of the link of each vertex, then the invariant must be proportional to the Euler characteristic.

Hyperspectral sensors are important tools in monitoring the phenomena of the Earth due to the acquisition of a large number of spectral bands. Hyperspectral image classification is one of the most important fields of hyperspectral data processing, and so far there have been many attempts to increase its accuracy. Spatial features are important due to their ability to increase classification acc...
متن کاملEvaluation of gray scale changes of CBCT system images in different axis using the DICOM file
The images of dental CBCT imaging systems used in conic shaped beams, stored in the DICOM format, have various applications in the dentistry, including bone density estimation to select the location of the orthodontic implant, bone loss detection and etc. In these systems, unlike CT imaging systems, the resulting images exhibit gray-scale non-uniformity in each of the different axis in FOV. Thi...
متن کاملText segmentation in mixed-mode images using classification trees and transform tree-structured vector quantization
Multimedia applications such as educational videos and color facsimile contain images that are rich in both tex-tual and continuous tone data. Because these two types of data have diierent properties, segmentation of the images into text and continuous tone data can improve compression by allowing diierent compression parameters or even algorithms to be employed on the diierent types. In this p...
