This paper presents a new method for partial volume estimation using standard eigenimage method and B-splines. The proposed method is applied on the multi-parameter volumetric images such as MRI. The proposed approach uses the B-spline bases (kernels) to interpolate a continuous 2D surface or 3D density function for a sampled image dataset. It uses the Fourier domain to calculate the interpolat...

The research status of industrial robot trajectory planning is discussed in detail, and the applicable occasions cubic polynomial interpolation, quintic B-spline curve, mixed interpolation other methods commonly used basic are comprehensively analyzed. At same time, various optimal for robots reviewed. advantages disadvantages compared important direction prospected.

A-splines are implicit real algebraic curves in Bernstein-B ezier (BB) form that are smooth. We use these in an algorithm for active contouring of images. One advantage of A-splines is that any change to the controlling weights only a ects the curve locally, which results in fast convergence. Our active A-splines are also level sets of a time-dependent function with the added exibility of a dyn...

This short note presents four examples of compactly supported symmetric refinable componentwise polynomial functions: (i) a componentwise constant interpolatory continuous refinable function and its derived symmetric tight wavelet frame; (ii) a componentwise constant continuous orthonormal and interpolatory refinable function and its associated symmetric orthonormal wavelet basis; (iii) a diffe...

In previous decades, many of the practical problems arising in scientific fields such as physics, engineering, and mathematics have been related to nonlinear fractional partial differential equations. One these equations, dissipative wave equation, has found a plethora useful applications different fields. A special class solutions studied for equation including exact approximate solutions. The...

We consider shift-invariant multiresolution spaces generated by rotation-covariant functions ρ in R2. To construct corresponding scaling and wavelet functions, ρ has to be localized with an appropriate multiplier, such that the localized version is an element of L2(R2). We consider several classes of multipliers and show a new method to improve regularity and decay properties of the correspondi...

The extraction and quantization of local image and video descriptors for the subsequent creation of visual codebooks is a technique that has proved extremely effective for image and video retrieval applications. In this paper we build on this concept and extract a new set of visual descriptors that are derived from spatiotemporal salient points detected on given image sequences and provide loca...

This paper provides a survey of shape parameterization techniques for multidisciplinary optimization and highlights some emerging ideas. The survey focuses on the suitability of available techniques for complex conngurations, with suitability criteria based on the ee-ciency, eeectiveness, ease of implementation, and availability of analytical sensitivities for geometry and grids. The paper also...
