Consider a set of data points with their classes labeled, and assume that each class is a Gaussian as shown in Figure 1(a). Given this set of data points, finding the means of two Gaussian can be done easily by estimating the sample mean, as the class labels are known. Now imagine that the classes are not labeled as shown in Figure 1(b). How should we determine the mean for each of the classes ...

A novel recognition process is presented that is invariant under position, rotation, and scale changes. The recognition process is based on the Fang-Häusler transform [Appl. Opt. 29, 704 (1990)] and is applied to the autoconvolved image, rather than to the image itself. This makes the recognition process sensitive not only to the image histogram but also to its detailed pattern, resulting in a ...

In recent years there has been a great deal of progress on the so-called σk-Yamabe problem. In [CF], Alice Chang and Hao Fang have suggested that a variant of this problem might also be fruitful to study. The main goal of this paper is to investigate the algebraic structure under conformal transformation of the renormalized volume coefficients, the curvature quantites considered by Chang-Fang. ...
