چکیده

Segmentation is a basic operation in pattern recognition. Without a previous separation of objects in an image, shape analysis of imagery pattern cannot be carried out easily. In this paper, we will present an algorithm allowing the segmentation of contour maps into closed curves. The basic idea consists of first establishing the neighbourhood relationship of contour chains and then of finding closed curves based on a grouping technique using a 'minimal angle' criterion.

AN ALGORITHM FOR FINDING THE EIGENPAIRS OF A SYMMETRIC MATRIX

The purpose of this paper is to show that ideas and techniques of the homotopy continuation method can be used to find the complete set of eigenpairs of a symmetric matrix. The homotopy defined by Chow, Mallet- Paret and York [I] may be used to solve this problem with 2""-n curves diverging to infinity which for large n causes a great inefficiency. M. Chu 121 introduced a homotopy equation...

Degree Reduction of Disk Wang-Bézier Type Generalized Ball Curves

A disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve is a Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve whose control points are disks in a plane. It can be viewed as a parametric curve with error tolerances. In this paper, we discuss the problem of degree reduction of disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve, that is, bounding disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curves with lower degree disk Wa...

On the elliptic curves of the form $ y^2=x^3-3px $

By the Mordell-Weil theorem‎, ‎the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a number field is a finitely generated abelian group‎. ‎There is no known algorithm for finding the rank of this group‎. ‎This paper computes the rank of the family $ E_p:y^2=x^3-3px $ of elliptic curves‎, ‎where p is a prime‎.

FFT-based Alignment of 2d Closed Curves with Application to Elastic Shape Analysis

For many shape analysis problems in computer vision and scientific imaging (e.g., computational anatomy, morphological cytometry), the ability to align two closed curves in the plane is crucial. If the curves have the same length and are centered at the origin, the critical steps to an optimal alignment are finding the best rotation for one curve to match the other and redefining the starting p...
