In this paper we introduce a novel and simple image segmentation schemes that are based on combinations of morphological and statistical operations. Mathematical morphology is very attractive for this purpose because it efficiently deals with geometrical features like as size, shape, contrast or connectivity that can be considered as segmentation oriented features. The present paper derives equ...

Existing literature ondesign reasoning seems to give either one sided accounts on expert design behaviour based on internal processing. In the same way ecological theoriesseem to focus one sidedly on external elementsthat result in a lack of unifying design cognition theory. Although current extended design cognition studies acknowledge the intellectual interaction between internal and external...

Concept lattices and rough sets abstractions are applied for combining firms’ characteristics obtained from different sources in a decision support system prototype, based on P -products. Applying methods from rough sets abstractions allows obtaining information on which elements belong to the kernel system and which ones belong to the closure system. Key–Words: Rough sets, Concept lattices, De...
