چکیده

We describe a general framework for the recognition of distorted images of lineal shapes, which relies on three items: a model to represent lineal shapes and their deformations, a model for the generation of distorted binary images and the combination of both models in a common probabilistic framework, where the generation of deformations is related to an internal energy, and the generation of binary images to an external energy. Then, recognition consists in the minimization of a global energy function, performed by using the EM algorithm. This general framework has been applied to the recognition of hand-drawn lineal symbols in graphic documents.

Radon Transform for Lineal Symbol Representation

Content-based retrieval and recognition of graphic images requires good models for symbol representation, able to identify those features providing the most relevant information about the shape and the visual appearance of symbols. In this work we have used the Radon transform as the basis to extract the representation of graphic images as it permits to globally detect lineal singularities in a...

درخت نقشی بر فرش رویی بر عرش

Since ancient times, “Tree” has been the focus of attention as a symbol, in works of art. In Mesopotamia and later in Iran, this symbol was known as a holy tree or tree of life as early as 3500 BC, and was delineated in different shapes. After the advent of Islam, this symbol prevailed in works of art; However, no longer as a mythological holy tree but rather standing for heavenly b...

A Biomechanical Approach for the Study of Deformation of Red Cells in Narrow Capillaries

This model focuses on the behavior of capillary-tissue fluid exchange system when the diameter of the capillary is less than that of red cell. In vivo and in vitro observations indicate that the width of the gap between the red cell and the vessel wall is generally small compared to the radius of the capillary for a single file flow of red cell in narrow vessel, particularly if the vessel diame...

A fast model for prediction of respiratory lung motion for image-guided radiotherapy: A feasibility study

Background: The aim of this work was to study the feasibility of constructing a fast thorax model suitable for simulating lung motion due to respiration using only one CT dataset. Materials and Methods: For each of six patients with different thorax sizes, two sets of CT images were obtained in single-breath-hold inhale and exhale stages in the supine position. The CT images were then ...

Deforming the Blurred Shape Model for Shape Description and Recognition

This paper presents a new model for the description and recognition of distorted shapes, where the image is represented by a pixel density distribution based on the Blurred Shape Model combined with a non-linear image deformation model. This leads to an adaptive structure able to capture elastic deformations in shapes. This method has been evaluated using thee different datasets where deformati...
