This paper presents an automatic method for road network extraction from low-resolution images using hierarchical grouping. The method consists of three major steps: firstly it extracts lines from original images and generates smooth lines in a split-and-merge operation; a hierarchy of line images is generated using different thresholds for line length, based on the extracted line images; the l...

This paper presents an automatic method for road network extraction from low-resolution images using hierarchical grouping technique. The method consists of three major steps: firstly it extracts line features from original images and generates smooth lines in a split-and-merge operation; a hierarchy of line images is created using different thresholds for line length, based on the generated li...

Electrochemical behavior of the new mono and dinuclear Co (III)  complexes of  the types trans-[pyCo((DO)(DOH)pn )(L)]PF6   and [{py Co((DO)(DOH)pn)}2 (μ-dicyd)] (PF6)2   have been studied in acetonitrile solution.  All the  mono nuclear complexes  show two quasi- reversible reduction couples associate  to Co(III/II)an...

We present in this paper a new fine grained median split algorithm which places the median on the middle index of an input array of size N . Running on P processors, the randomized version converges in O ( N P × (log(N) + μ) ) average time where 0 < P < N4 and μ is the time to swap a pair of elements between two nodes. At each iteration, the nodes process only its local elements and exchange pa...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Co(NCO)(2)(C(4)H(4)N(2))(2)](n), the Co(II) cation is coordinated by four N-bonded pyrazine ligands and two N-bonded cyanate anions in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The crystal structure consists of μ-N:N' pyrazine-bridged cobalt cyanate chains; these are further linked by additional μ-N:N'-bridging pyrazine ligands into layers, whic...

A split plot 3 by 4 experiment was designed to investigate and distinguish the relationships among production of secondary metabolites, soluble sugar, phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL; EC 4.3.1.5) activity, leaf gas exchange, chlorophyll content, antioxidant activity (DPPH), and lipid peroxidation under three levels of CO2 (400, 800, and 1200 μ mol/mol) and four levels of light intensity (225, ...

In order to improve the accuracy and real-time of structured road recognition algorithm, this paper puts forward a recognition algorithm of the structural road based on piecewise linear model. Firstly the original image was the initial region of interest division and pretreatment, using an improved Otsu algorithm and mathematical morphology processing image segmentation, eliminate noise and spl...

In this paper, a new access method is proposed for current positions of moving objects on road networks in order to efficiently update their positions. In the existing index structures, the connectivity ofedges is lost because the intersection points in which three or more edges are split. The proposed index structure preserves the network connectivity, which uses intersection oriented network ...

The presented study compares three alternative straight-line approximations of the longitudinal road-profile power spectral density (PSD). The one straight line and two and three split straight-line approximations were analyzed. The minimizing of the root-meansquared error (RMSE) was used as criteria of goodness of fit for the approximation models. The statistics of the PSD approximation model ...

Counterexample-guided abstraction refinement (CEGAR) is a key technique for the verification of computer programs. Grumberg et al. developed a CEGAR-based algorithm for the modal μ-calculus. There, every abstract state is split in a refinement step. In this paper, the work of Grumberg et al. is generalized by presenting a new CEGAR-based algorithm for the μ-calculus. It is based on a more expre...
