Local Computation of Shape
نویسنده
چکیده
Local, parallel analysis of shading in an image may be used to infer surface shape without o priori knowledge about the viewed scene. The following has been proven: Given a reasonable assumption about surface smoothness, local analysis of the second derivative of image intensity allows the image-plane component of surface orientation to be determined exactly, and a maximum-likelihood estimate of the remaining depth component of orientation to be made. An algorithm has been developed to compute surface orientation, in parallel, for each image point without knowledge of scene characteristics. This algorithm has been evaluated on both natural and synthesized images, and produces a good estimate of shape.

OPTIMAL SHAPE DESIGN OF GRAVITY DAMS BASED ON A HYBRID META-HERURISTIC METHOD AND WEIGHTED LEAST SQUARES SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE
A hybrid meta-heuristic optimization method is introduced to efficiently find the optimal shape of concrete gravity dams including dam-water-foundation rock interaction subjected to earthquake loading. The hybrid meta-heuristic optimization method is based on a hybrid of gravitational search algorithm (GSA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), which is called GSA-PSO. The operation of GSA-PSO...
متن کاملHarmonic Shape Histograms for 3D Shape Classification and Retrieval
In this paper, we present a novel approach towards 3D shape recognition and retrieval using histograms of rotation invariant local features. Features are extracted for every point of voxelized 3D shape objects by use of functions on spheres which are invariant towards rotation of the object. The fast computation of the local features is performed via convolution methods in frequency space. Hist...

This paper discusses the concept of object’s shape identification using local binary pattern technique (LBP). Since LBP is computationally simple it has been utilized successfully for recognition of various objects. LBP which has the potential to be used in various identification related fields was applied on a number of different shaped objects, the process converted the given image in to 3x3...
متن کاملRecent Improvements in Tensor Scale Computation and its Applications to Medical Imaging
Tensor scale (t-scale) is a local morphometric parameter describing local structure shape, orientation and scale. At any image location, t-scale is the parametric representation of the largest ellipse (an ellipsoid in 3D) centered at that location and contained in the same homogeneous region. Recently, we have improved the t-scale computation algorithm by: (1) optimizing digital representations...
