Slope stability analysis is one of the most important problems in mining and geotechnical engineering. Ignoring the importance of these problems can lead to significant losses. Selecting an appropriate method to analyze the slope stability requires a proper understanding of how different factors influence the outputs of the analyses. This paper evaluates the effects of considering the real geom...

Two kinds of wavelet features are proposed: (a) Kirsch edge enhancement based 2D wavelets and (b) 2D complex wavelets. The two sets of hybrid features are congregated by combining them with the geometrical features for the recognition of handwritten numerals. Experiments conducted on handwritten numeral recognition and verification show that the two hybrid feature sets can achieve high recognit...
