More and more elevation data and methods are available to automatically map hydrographic or thalweg networks. However, there are few methods to assess the network quality. The most used method to compare an extracted network to a reference network gives global quality information on only geographic criterion. The method proposed in this paper allows a network assessment compared to a reference ...

We show that some widely accepted criteria for cryptographic functions, including the strict avalanche criterion (SAC) and the propagation criterion, have various limitations in capturing properties of vital importance to cryptographic algorithms, and propose a new criterion called GAC to measure the global avalanche characteristics of cryptographic functions. We also introduce two indicators r...

High-accuracy surface measurement of large aviation parts is a significant guarantee of aircraft assembly with high quality. The result of boundary measurement is a significant parameter for aviation-part measurement. This paper proposes a measurement method for accurately measuring the surface and boundary of aviation part with feature compression extraction and directed edge-point criterion. ...

Criterion-based segmentation is the problem of subdividing a trajectory into a small number of parts such that each part satisfies a global criterion. We present an algorithmic framework for criterion-based segmentation of trajectories that can efficiently process a large class of criteria. Our framework can handle criteria that are stable, in the sense that these do not change their validity a...

Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is an effective tool in multivariate multigroup data analysis. A standard technique for LDA is to project the data from a high-dimensional space onto a perceivable subspace such that the data can be separated by visual inspection. The criterion of LDA, unfortunately, is extremely susceptible to outliers which commonly occur because of instrument drift and gros...

Local parallel processes are a very efficient way of using contextual information in a very large class of problems commonly encountered in Computer Vision. An approach to the design and analysis of such processes based on the minimization of a global criterion by local computation is presented.

work by the authors relating to the inclusion of aesthetic criteria within an interactive evolutionary design system. The work described extends the design system re the manipulation of a more complex design problem with increased importance placed on aesthetic criterion. The paper initially introduces the previous work before describing more recent research and positioning this in terms of pre...

Blocked designs are useful in experiments. The general minimum lower order confounding (GMC) is an elaborate criterion which was proposed for selecting optimal fractional factorial designs. Zhang and Mukerjee (2009b) extended the GMC criterion to the B-GMC criterion for selecting a 2n−m : 2r design, where 2n−m : 2r denotes a two-level regular blocked design withN = 2n−m runs, n treatment factor...
