Moment invariants have been frequently used as features for shape recognition. They are computed based on the information provided by both the shape boundary and its interior region. Although several fast algorithms for computing traditional moment invariants have been proposed, none has ever shown the theoretical results of moment invariants computed based on the shape boundary only. This pape...

Moment invariants have been widely introduced in recognizing planar objects for a few decades. This is due the robustness of moment function in distinguishing the original identity of object under various two Dimensional (2D) transformations. A set of moments computed from a planar images, represents the global description of an object’s shape and geometrical features of an image. Since global ...

We employ positivity of Riesz functionals to establish representing measures (or approximate representing measures) for truncated multivariate moment sequences. For a truncated moment sequence y, we show that y lies in the closure of truncated moment sequences admitting representing measures supported in a prescribed closed set K ⊆ R if and only if the associated Riesz functional Ly is K-positi...

This paper attempts to introduce the concept of moment invariance into the classification algorithm based on the morphological boundary extraction and generalized skeleton transform, and tries to propose a new method about shape classification in this field. Firstly, the method extracts boundary of the object, secondly, skeleton using main skeleton extraction algorithm based on visual important...

The purpose of this study is to investigate bending moment and the axial load capacity of a pressurized pipe suffering from a through-wall circumferential crack repaired by a composite sleeve. The three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) was adopted to compute the results, and the failure assessment diagram (FAD) was employed to investigate the failure behavior of the repaired pipe. The fi...

Background: Excessive range of adductory free moment of the ground reaction force may potentially increase the risk of lower extremity injuries by applying a higher torsional load transmitted to the proximal parts. Objective: It was hypothesized that the free moment pattern might be different between hyper-pronated and normal feet subjects. Moreover, a correlation would exist between peak...

in this paper, electronic, structural, and spectroscopic properties of mono-, di-, tri-, andtetrafluorothiophenes and their radical cations are studied using the density functional theory andb3lyp method with 6-311++g** basis set. also the effects of the number and position of thesubstituent on the electrochemical properties of the thiophene ring have been studied usingoptimized structures obta...

Cherchant à comprendre les relations entre la technologie et la société, et en particulier l’action de la technique dans l’environnement social et culturel, l’étude des usages humains des technologies d’information et de communication (TIC) constitue selon moi une entrée méthodologique privilégiée. Je cherche en effet à me distancer des discours futurologiques et spéculatifs sur les “impacts” a...
