We describe and provide code and examples for a polygonal edge matching method. Our goal is to find a score to match two polygons P1 and P2 embedded in a rectangle R of the plane, of height I and width J. Using a pixel based representation of the polygon we find pixel based representations of the boundary of each polygon, with four matrices representing top, bottom left and right edges separate...

OBJECTIVE To compare the results obtained by a new ultra-short automated perimetry test known as Tendency-Oriented Perimetry (TOP), which is an algorithm based on estimation of thresholds from information gathered from adjacent points with those obtained by a standard bracketing approach. TOP is designed to save up to 1/5 of the time taken by standard strategy by presenting each stimulus once o...

oo-analysis; top-down; ensemble In this paper, we address the issue of how to provide an analyst that uses the object-oriented paradigm with a top-down approach. An analyst gets this approach for free when working within the structured paradigm. Ensembles are introduced that differ from objects in that they connote entities with internal parallelism. Preliminary experimentation suggests that en...

framed in a cognitive approach to task-supported l2 vocabulary learning, the present study used a pedagogical approach to investigate the relative effectiveness of tasks with different involvement loads on the vocabulary knowledge of iranian efl learners. the goal was to investigate the way that the construct of involvement load is related to the input hypothesis (krashen, 1985) and the output ...
