This study describes morphological diversity and relationship of 14 cultivars and 133 wild fig accessions from central Zagros Mountains located in the west of Iran, based on 58 morphological characters. Among all characters, secondary drooping branches, number of bark tubers, shape of central lobe, length of central lobe/length of lamina, little lateral lobes, shape of leaf without lobed, fruit...

Computer vision techniques can estimate 3D shape from images, but usually only up to a scale factor. The scale factor must be obtained by a physical measurement of the scene or the camera motion. Using gauge theory, we show that how this scale factor is determined can significantly affect the accuracy of the estimated shape. And yet these considerations have been ignored in previous works where...

In this paper, we extend our previous work in investigating the performance of XZ-shape histogram for recognizing human performing activities of daily living (ADLs) which focuses on human-object interaction activities based on Kinect-like depth image. The feasibility of XZ-shape histogram as well as general 3D shape descriptors namely; 1) shape distribution, 2) shape histogram, 3) global spin i...

We analyse the shapes of star-shaped objects which are pre-aligned. This is motivated from two examples studying the growth of leaves, and the temporal evolution of tree rings. In the latter case measurements were taken at fixed angles while in the former case the angles were free. Subsequently, this leads to different shape spaces, related to different concepts of size, for the analysis. While...
