Continuous Orientation Representation for Arbitrary Dimensions - A Generalized Knutsson Mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a framework to construct a continuous orientation representation in arbitrary dimensions. Existing methods for 2D (doubling the angle) and 3D (Knutsson mapping) were found ad hoc. We show how they can be put in a general framework to derive suitable representations for filtering in spaces of arbitrary dimension. The dimensionality of the derived representation is shown to be minimal. Connections with the gradient structure tensor and Knutsson mapping are shown, like the fact that angle doubling works in each pair-cone of the Knutsson mapping. Finally, using projection operators we show how angles between vectors in the base space are related to vectors in the mapped spaces and in particular how to achieve preservation of isotropy.

A systematic approach to nD orientation representation
In this paper we present new insights in methods to solve the orientation representation problem in arbitrary dimensions. The gradient structure tensor is one of the most used descriptors for local structure in multi-dimensional images. We will relate its properties to the double angle method (2D) and the Knutsson mapping. We present a general scheme to reduce the dimensionality of the mappings...

Free vibration characteristics of continuous grading fiber orientation (CGFO) beams resting on variable Winkler and two-parameter elastic foundations have been studied. The beam is under different boundary conditions and assumed to have arbitrary variations of fiber orientation in the thickness direction. The governing differential equations for beam vibration are being solved using Generalized...
متن کاملApproximation of fixed points for a continuous representation of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces
This paper introduces an implicit scheme for a continuous representation of nonexpansive mappings on a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space with respect to a sequence of invariant means defined on an appropriate space of bounded, continuous real valued functions of the semigroup. The main result is to prove the strong convergence of the proposed implicit scheme to the unique solutio...
متن کاملEstimation of Curvature Based Shape Properties of Surfaces in 3D Grey-Value Images
Surfaces can be described locally and classified by their curvature values at every point. In this paper we investigate a grey-level based curvature estimator in combination with a sampling-error free integration technique of the curvature image. We compute shape descriptors as the bending energy and a global topological invariant, the Euler characterization. The integration of curvature values...
