Considered as topographic reliefs, grayscale images can be decomposed into a number of peaks that can be stored in the data structure of a tree. This decomposition is called the peak analysis of grayscale images in this paper. Its mathematical definition and its fast algorithm based on the watershed transform are both presented. Due to its intuitive definition, there is a wide range of applicat...

In this year's filtering track, we implemented a system called RELIEFS that tries to learn about the prediction capability of words or conjunctions of words for the relevance of documents. The novelty of the system resides in two main points. First, the features used in the prediction involve both : the implication D->Q (from document to query), and the reverse implication Q->D. This is differe...

This article describes bas-relief sculptures in Angkor Wat, Cambodia dating from the 9th to the 12th centuries, and compares them to contemporary observations of massage abortion. The Cambodian carvings, along with two similar representations in Indonesia, are the earliest known...

A new experimental method aiming to the characterization of self-affine rough surfaces is presented. Based on a three dimensional reconstruction of the relief from stereo pairs obtained with a scanning electron microscope, it allows a non-destructive quantitative analysis of fracture surfaces, with a xy and z resolution only slightly lower than the original images. The roughness index of the fr...

Narrative representations have not been found in all Buddhist monasteries. In some areas, for instance the region of modern Sannati ancient Āndhradeśa, only one stūpa, known today as Kanaganahalli, was decorated with opulent narrative reliefs, while others display none at all. It appears that schools were interested not. The area now Nagarjunakonda – historical Vijayapurī Ikṣvāku dynasty 3rd ce...

This pottery is decorated, if at all, with reliefs, and has a glaze which is so often bright green that the ware is referred to as "green-glazed," even though other colors occur. With the recent addition of several pieces, the...
