Curvature Morphology

چکیده
The notion of curvature of planar curves has emerged as one of the most powerful for the representation and interpretation of objects in an image. Although curvature extraction from a digitized object contour would seem to be a rather simple task, few methods exist that are at the same time easy to implement, fast, and reliable in the presence of noise. In this paper we first briefly present a scheme for obtaining the discrete curvature function of planar contours based on the chain-code representation of a boundary. Secondly, we propose a method for extracting important features from the curvature function such as extrema or peaks, and segments of constant curvature. We use mathematical morphological operations on functions to achieve this. Finally, on the basis of these morphological operations, we suggest a new scale-space representation for curvature named theMorphological Curvature Scale-Space. Advantages over the usual scale-space approaches are shown.

One of the most common procedures for exporting and warehousing handmade carpets is keeping them folded over one another. Handmade carpets come out of their stable states by being folded,while increasing storage time can cause serious and sometimes irreversible changes to them. In this research, a pilot model carpet has kept folded under a load equal to 50 g/cm2 and then the applied load increa...
متن کاملStudy of the morphological changes and meander pattern of the Zohre River using satellite images
Erosion and sedimentation that will lead to morphological changes in rivers are found in alluvial rivers. Morphological changes in rivers can cause numerous problems, so studying the shape of alluvial rivers in morphology is very important in morphology science. In this study, morphology changes of the Zohreh River in the Hendijan plain, for a length of about 23 km between latitudes 30´ 49° and...
متن کاملTurning maneuvers in sharks: Predicting body curvature from axial morphology.
Given the diversity of vertebral morphologies among fishes, it is tempting to propose causal links between axial morphology and body curvature. We propose that shape and size of the vertebrae, intervertebral joints, and the body will more accurately predict differences in body curvature during swimming rather than a single meristic such as total vertebral number alone. We examined the correlati...
متن کاملGeneralization of 3d Building Data Based on Scale-spaces
For an interactive visualization of three dimensional (3D) city models a Level of Detail representation is extremely useful to avoid unnecessary computations. Differently detailed models of the same object are displayed depending on the distance of the object. This implies that less detailed models have to be generated from complex models (generalization). In this paper an approach for the auto...
متن کاملInterfacial curvature effects on the monolayer morphology and dynamics of a clinical lung surfactant.
The morphology of surfactant monolayers is typically studied on the planar surface of a Langmuir trough, even though most physiological interfaces are curved at the micrometer scale. Here, we show that, as the radius of a clinical lung surfactant monolayer-covered bubble decreases to ∼100 µm, the monolayer morphology changes from dispersed circular liquid-condensed (LC) domains in a continuous ...
متن کاملDirect measurement of interfacial curvature distributions in a bicontinuous block copolymer morphology.
Self-consistent field theory predicts that the complex phase behavior of block copolymers does not originate solely from the interface seeking constant mean curvature as once thought, but instead reflects competing minimization of interfacial tension and packing frustration. To test this prediction, we directly measure interfacial curvature distributions from a 3D image reconstruction of the bi...
