We propose a novel, self-validating approach for detecting curved reflection symmetry patterns from real, unsegmented images. Our method benefits from the observation that any curved symmetry pattern can be approximated by a sequence of piecewise rigid reflection patterns. Pairs of symmetric feature points are first detected (including both inliers and outliers) and treated as ‘particles’. Mult...

An important activity for the learner while learning is the reflection on the learning path and strategy. So far, not many tools provide an automatic support for the reflection on the learning activities. Here, we describe our approach to enable reflection with the help of usage and contextual metadata. We describe how we capture usage information and provide algorithms like the identification ...

In recent years, digital reconstruction of cultural heritage provides an effective way of protecting historical relics, in which the modeling of surface reflection of historical heritage with high fidelity places a very important role. In this paper Gaussian process (GP) regression based approach is proposed to model the reflection properties of real materials, in which the simulation data gene...

the present research aimed at investigating the interaction of the classroom talk to have a better understanding of the teachers’ practice teaching which can pave the way for reflection on teaching. the study benefitted from conversation analytic perspective to qualitatively and interpretively examine the classroom discourse of the teacher-learner interaction. the classroom talk was analyzed th...

We used a mathematical modeling approach, based on a sample of 2,019 participants, to better understand what the cognitive reflection test (CRT; Frederick In Journal of Economic Perspectives, 19, 25-42, 2005) measures. This test, which is typically completed in less than 10 min, contains three problems and aims to measure the ability or disposition to resist reporting the response that first co...

Uji Research Center Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics Kyoto University, Uji 611, Japan Abstract An algebraic approach to integrable quantum field theory with a boundary (a half line) is presented and interesting algebraic equations, Reflection equations (RE) and Reflection Bootstrap equations (RBE) are discussed. The Reflection equations are a consistent generalisation of Yang-Baxter equ...

In the last few years the interest in reflection has grown and many modern programming languages/environments (e.g., Java and .NET) have provided the programmer with reflective mechanisms, i.e., with the ability of dynamically looking into (introspect) the structure of the code from the code itself. In spite of its evident usefulness, reflection has many detractors, who claim that it is too ine...

It’s hard to believe that it’s already 2005. Traditionally, a new year’s arrival brings reflections on the previous year. Such reflection can often result in positive changes and improvements in our lives. Software reflection, a technique or approach that makes software self-aware, is similar to human reflection, although not as subjective or complicated. Proper use of software reflection can p...

In our research we are studying how to combine modelling, metamodelling, and reflection to systematically generate middleware configurations that can be targeted at different application domains and deployment environments. Despite this generality our approach adopts a uniform set of concepts: components, components frameworks, and reflection. Components and component frameworks provide structu...

Behavioral reflection is well-known approach enabling exhaustive querying of program state (introspection) as well as controlling its execution (intercession). It is hence an adequate foundation for runtime inspection. Partial behavioral reflection aims at making behavioral reflection more applicable by providing high levels of selectivity and configurability. We first outline the main features...
