چکیده

The paper presents an Adaptive Lattice Model (ALM) based on spatial constraints or resolution such as minimum object size and minimum spatial interval. An ALM represents GIS data by latticing adaptively the spatial space at a certain abstraction level or spatial resolution and omitting all details smaller or finer than the resolution. One implementation of ALM is called CELL, which considers each lattice as a cell whose characteristics are statistically measured as a whole. And another one is called GRID, which moves all vertexes of the objects to the nearest point or one of the corners of lattices in ALM. This paper concentrates on the CELL based generalization including adaptive clustering, adaptive aggregation, and adaptive simplification. Adaptive clustering uses the target resolution to decide which features of the same type can be clustered or not. Adaptive aggregation, following the adaptive clustering, aggregates features in a cluster to form a new feature with the same type. And, adaptive simplification merges adjoining vertexes and deletes small loops and kickbacks by rounding up all vertexes of linear features in the input dataset. Experimental results are also presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Spatial Resolution Enhancement in a 2D Photonic Crystal Based on Complex Square Lattice

We study the focusing properties of a two dimensional complex square-lattice photonic crystal (PC) comprising air holes immersed in Ge medium. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is utilized to calculate the dispersion band diagram and to simulate the image formation incorporating the perfectly matched layer (PML) boundary condition. In contrast to the common square PCs with the sam...

An Adaptive Lattice Model and Its Application to Map Simplification

In this paper, we propose an Adaptive Lattice Model (ALM) for simplifying linear features of geographic data. An ALM, based on spatial constraints or the target resolution of the data to be created, represents spatial data by latticing adaptively the spatial space at the target resolution and omitting all details smaller or finer than the resolution. Out of two implementations of ALM, this pape...

Local Derivative Pattern with Smart Thresholding: Local Composition Derivative Pattern for Palmprint Matching

Palmprint recognition is a new biometrics system based on physiological characteristics of the palmprint, which includes rich, stable, and unique features such as lines, points, and texture. Texture is one of the most important features extracted from low resolution images. In this paper, a new local descriptor, Local Composition Derivative Pattern (LCDP) is proposed to extract smartly stronger...
