The present paper proposes a novel way of extracting local texture features based on the Morphological Primitive Patterns with grain components (MPP-g) on texton based Local Directional Pattern (LDP) for effective stone texture classification. To reduce the dimensionality, the proposed research used Integrated Logical Compact LDP with OR operation on Textons (ILCLDP-T). Mathematical Morphology ...

Marc Laperrouza, London School of Economics and IMD, [email protected] Yves Pigneur, University of Lausanne, [email protected] Abstract The past decade has witnessed a dramatic growth in the number of wireless technologies. In parallel, the liberalisation of telecommunications markets has led to an increasingly complex set of issues to be dealt with by a growing number of actors. A direct co...

Turning to Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is the most logical politics in securing the modern society from critical changes in earth increasing temperature. However, Distributed Generation (DG) sources could lead to new challenges in electricity network, mainly allocation of DG sources in distribution level of power system will set the existing network under stress of power flow parameters. The...

Davis presented the order crossover operator for solving the travelling salesman problem (TSP) using genetic algorithm and has described two basic variants of this order crossover operator. In order to improve the efficiency and validity of these variants, in this paper three new variations of the order crossover operator are presented. These are programmed in C++ and implemented on a set of be...

Until the Uruguay Round Agreement (URAA) domestic support received less attention and it was URAA explicitly addressed the trade distortions arising out of domestic support policies in agriculture. The theories on trade distortions however claim the supremacy of border measures in distorting trade. A number of empirical studies also hold the same line of view. There are a number of reasons for ...

CMOS is furthermore the most widespread technology for digital designs as no feasible alternative is in sight to date and in the near future. The fundamental causes for this supremacy so far are the capability for miniaturization as well as the reliability and robustness of CMOS. Against the background of nanotechnology though, reliability concerns are arising with an alarming pace. The consequ...

Abstract— This article presents a computationally efficient method to estimate two dimensional in place rotation. This method is based on the estimation of weighted linear regression lines of the reference and the sense image pair. Angle between these two regression lines can identify the rotational angle between the reference and sense images. This fully unsupervised technique offers convincin...

Clustering problems are considered amongst the prominent challenges in statistics and computational science. Clustering of nodes in wireless sensor networks which is used to prolong the life-time of networks is one of the difficult tasks of clustering procedure. In order to perform nodes’ clustering, a number of nodes are determined as cluster heads and other ones are joined to one of these hea...

Modern research demands more mathematical, statistical information and proves on the research topic. Moving Object tracking with mathematical and statistical approaches paves a new modus operandi stirring over the conventional methods. The use of covariance as a detector of object-based image to extract features is a proven approach. An object can be tracked by using the conventional histogram-...
