The focus of this paper is on the development of a novel cross correlation technique for shape matching between two similar objects. The shape profile is derived from the curvature of the object profile. The cross correlation technique is applied to the shape profile of the two image objects to evaluate their similarity. An application of the shape profile technique is presented in the context ...

A new method for face recognition using profile gray-level images based on the morphological signature transform (MST) is presented in this paper. Gray-level image of profile is thresholded to produce a binary, black and white image. The method is based on the successive morphological erosions of the input profile at different resolutions by primary and rotated structuring elements. The areas o...

In this paper, image reconstruction technique (IRT) is used to reconstruct a 3-D profile of typhoons from MTSAT satellite cloud image data and based on a 1691 MHz receiver and iDAP system. The satellite cloud image data gives a single line profile slicing from a surface cloud image which does match the typhoon distribution. The line profile is presented with the temperature of the cloud top. Th...

A method of identification of curvature features for shape description and recognition is suggested. The method is based on the relation between local boundary features and the skeleton structure of a plain domain. It uses a continuous boundary-skeleton model of an image. The model consists of a boundary of a polygonal figure approximating a raster image, and a skeleton of the figure. To reveal...

Profile inference of SNS users is valuable for marketing, target advertisement, and opinion polls. Several studies examining profile inference have been reported to date. Although information of various types is included in SNS, most such studies only use text information. It is expected that incorporating information of other types into text classifiers can provide more accurate profile infere...

Published parametric models of the Einstein Cross gravitational lens demonstrate that the image geometry can be reproduced by families of models. In particular, the slope of the mass-profile for the lens galaxy is unconstrained. However, recent models predict a dependence of image flux ratios on the slope of the mass profile. We use this dependence to constrain the mass profile by calculating t...
