In this paper, the Conditional Average Estimator artificial neural network (CAE ANN) was used to analyze influence of chemical composition in conjunction with selected process parameters on yield strength and elongation an extruded 6082 aluminum alloy (AA6082) profile. Analysis focused optimization mechanical properties as a function casting temperature, speed, addition rate wire, ram extrusion...

Active Contour Models (ACMs) constitute a powerful energy-based minimization framework for image segmentation, based on the evolution of an active contour. Among ACMs, supervised ACMs are able to exploit the information extracted from supervised examples to guide the contour evolution. However, their applicability is limited by the accuracy of the probability models they use. As a consequence, ...

Purpose Variability in contouring structures of interest for radiotherapy continues to be challenging. Although training can reduce such variability, having radiation oncologists provide feedback impractical. We developed a contour tool real-time trainees, thereby reducing variability contouring. Methods novel metric termed localized signed square distance (LSSD) the trainee on how their compar...

On (A for Animals C Human), Infarcted Myocardium Demonstrated the Area with High Intensity; Maps (B D The Ntensity Decreases from 3 Days to Months Following MI. Measurement Remote is Performed within Defined White Contour Area. LGE: Late Gadolinium Enhancement; MR = Magnetic Resonance; MI Myocardial Infarction; STEMI ST†Elevated Infarction. BY ...

This report describes the results of the application of contour tracking techniques based on Active Contours and image motion estimation on diierent kinds of biomedical images, and the developmente of new user-friendly interfaces for the interactive analysis of the images. A dedicated system similar to the one described in 1, 2] has been developed for the analysis of ultrasound images represent...

ABSTRACT Local measurements and 3-D CFD simulations in GasLiquid cylindrical Cyclone (GLCC) separators are scarce. The main objective of this study is to conduct local measurements and 3-D CFD simulations to understand the swirling flow behavior in a cylindrical cyclone with one inclined tangential inlet. Axial and tangential velocities and turbulent intensities across the GLCC diameter (ID=3.5...

For later development of design snow loads, the water equivalent of snow on the ground appears to be the best The appropriate climatological series for this is the winter Among many distributions investigated, the lognormal Distributions fitted to 140 stations provided data In southern areas of the United States, where snow does This requires the A contour map is provided of the mixture paramet...

In order to gain a better understanding of visual saliency, we have developed and algorithm which simulates the phenomenon of contour integration for the purpose of visual saliency. The model developed consists of the classical butterfly pattern of connection between orientation selective neurons in the primary visual cortex. In addition, we also add a local group suppression gain control to el...

This paper addresses the problem of automated extraction of constant valued elevation curves (isocontours) from 2dimensional (2D) images of historical maps. We present a new isocontour extraction method that can operate in a semi automatic or fully automatic mode. The novelty of the work is in developing an isocontour extraction technique for historical map analysis that is unique in the GIS ap...
