Abstract Bézier splines are widely available in various systems with the curves and surface designs. In general, the Bézier spline can be specified with the Bézier curve segments and a Bézier curve segment can be fitted to any number of control points. The number of control points determines the degree of the Bézier polynomial. This paper presents a method which determines control points for Bé...

Many applications of geometry processing and computer vision rely on geometric properties of curves, particularly their curvature. Several methods have already been proposed to estimate the curvature of a planar curve, most of them for curves in digital spaces. This work proposes a new scheme for estimating curvature and torsion of planar and spatial curves, based on weighted least–squares fitt...

geometric and material nonlinear behavior of slender webs in i-column girders having stocky flanges under the action of combined lateral and axial loads is investigated. interaction curves corresponding to the application of compressive and shear loads at buckling and ultimate stages for both web plates and column sections are plotted. in addition, the effects of flange and web slenderness rati...

Iris is a strong biometric tool used for human authentication. In this methodology, the patterns in the iris such as rings, furrows and freckles can be envisaged a set of Bezier curves and hence represented by the corresponding Bezier points, resulting in considerable reduction in the file size. After the iris is captured using scanner, the patterns are extracted from the scanned image. Then th...

Many factors such as production methods and structural parameters have distinctive influence on the quality and performance of a hand woven carpet. To investigate the effects of some variables, eighteen samples of carpet vary, in knot density, pile height and percentage of slipe wool, were manufactured. Pile yarn performance was assessed by using load-displacement compression curve, obtained fr...

The effect of punch tilting on the mechanism of punch penetration in the die of a rotary tablet machine during the compression cycle was evaluated by installing four displacement transducers on one station of a rotary machine. Two transducers were symmetrically positioned beside the upper punch in the upper turret, and the other two transducers were similarly placed beside the lower punch in th...

This paper describes an approach to the compression of a Fingerprint images using new mathematical transform ,namely ,the wave atom transform that has proven to show promising results over wavelet transform and curvelet transform .Wavelets are well suited to point singularities ,however they have a problem with orientation selectivity, and therefore ,they do not represent two-dimensional singul...

In this paper compression-dependent bioimpedance measurements of porcine spleen tissue are presented. Using a Cole-Cole model, nonlinear compositional changes in extracellular and intracellular makeup; related to a loss of fluid from the tissue, are identified during compression. Bioimpedance measurements were made using a custom tetrapolar probe and bioimpedance circuitry. As the tissue is inc...

F bstract. Image compression schemes facilitate the transmission nd storage of data in an efficient form by reducing redundant image ata in the case of limited transmission bandwidth or storage space. owever, due to the irreversible nature of lossy compression, these chemes also introduce various types of color artifacts into the reonstructed image at a high compression ratio. Consequently, a h...
