چکیده
Gaussian scale-space is considered to be a modern bottom-up tool in computer vision. The Amer-ican and European vision community, however, is unaware of the fact that Gaussian scale-space has already been axiomatically derived in 1959 in a Japanese paper by Taizo Iijima. This result formed the starting point of an entire world of linear scale-space research in Japan ranging from various axiomatic derivations over deep structure analysis to applications to optical character recognition (OCR). Since this world is unknown to western scale-space researchers and many papers are written in Japanese, we give an overview of the basic concepts. In particular, we review four Japanese axiomatics for Gaussian scale-space which have been proposed between 1959 and 1981. By juxtaposing them to ten American or European axiomatics, we present an overview of the state-of-the-art in Gaussian scale-space axiomatics.

متن کاملDoes Scale of Public Hospitals Affect Bargaining Power? Evidence From Japan
Background Many of public hospitals in Japan have had a deficit for a long time. Japanese local governments have been encouraging public hospitals to use group purchasing of drugs to benefit from the economies of scale, and increase their bargaining power for obtaining discounts in drug purchasing, thus improving their financial situation. In this study, we empirically investigate whether or no...
متن کاملCation Exchange Between Piemontite and Garnet in Piemontite-Quartz Schists from Asemi-Gawa Area of Central Shikoku, Sanbagawa Metamorphic Belt, Japan
In the Asemi-gawa area of intermediate high-pressure and low-temperature Sanbagawa metamorphic belt in central Shikoku, Japan, piemontite-quartz schists are common in which cation exchange between piemontite and garnet has been studied. Piemontite in contact with garnet usually contains two zones in which core is enriched in Mn3+ and surrounded by a rim rich in Fe3+. Garnet is Ca-Fe-bearing spe...
متن کاملTruncated Linear Minimax Estimator of a Power of the Scale Parameter in a Lower- Bounded Parameter Space
Minimax estimation problems with restricted parameter space reached increasing interest within the last two decades Some authors derived minimax and admissible estimators of bounded parameters under squared error loss and scale invariant squared error loss In some truncated estimation problems the most natural estimator to be considered is the truncated version of a classic...
متن کاملThe colossal circumvention of the lung lesion during lung stereotaxy
This is a case report on stereotaxic (Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy-SBRT) for lung cancer located in the left lower lobe (Segment 6, S6). There have been no reports on marked displacement of the peripheral lung cancer during radiotherapy. A pulmonary nodule was discovered on computed tomography (CT) conducted for a persistent cough in an 87-year-old male. According to diagnostic imaging, this ...
