Topology plays an important role in computer vision by capturing the structure of objects. Nevertheless, its potential applications have not been sufficiently developed yet. In this paper, we combine topological properties image with hierarchical approaches to build a topology preserving irregular pyramid (TIIP). The TIIP algorithm uses combinatorial maps as data which implicitly capture terms ...

Researchers have recently used warm-up questions concerning childhood memories at specific early ages (e.g. 3 years of age) in an attempt to facilitate the retrieval process on the subsequent question regarding the earliest memory. Although this methodology may indeed facilitate the retrieval process by conducting the test in a manner resembling ordinary dialogue, the methodology might also uni...
