Multi-method assessment of map similarity
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a multi-method approach to assessment of similarity of categorical maps. The assessment incorporates several newly developed comparison methods. Some are related to the Kappa statistic, others are applications of Fuzzy Set theory. By combining the methods a broad assessment of similarity will be obtained, which makes it possible to find the magnitude, nature and spatial distribution of similarity between two maps.

A Modfied Self-organizing Map Neural Network to Recognize Multi-font Printed Persian Numerals (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper proposes a new method to distinguish the printed digits, regardless of font and size, using neural networks.Unlike our proposed method, existing neural network based techniques are only able to recognize the trained fonts. These methods need a large database containing digits in various fonts. New fonts are often introduced to the public, which may not be truly recognized by the Opti...
متن کاملStrongly stable multi-time stepping method with the option of controlling amplitude decay in responses
Recently, multi-time stepping methods have become very popular among scientist due to their high stability in problems with critical conditions. One important shortcoming of these methods backs to their high amount of uncontrolled amplitude decay. This study proposes a new multi-time stepping method in which the time step is split into two sub-steps. The first sub-step is solved using the well-...
