This paper presents a geodesic voting method to segment tree structures, such as retinal or cardiac blood vessels. Many authors have used minimal cost paths, or similarly geodesics relative to a weight potential P, to find a vessel between two end points. Our goal focuses on the use of a set of such geodesic paths for finding a tubular tree structures, using minimal interaction. This work adapt...

HHT method has been used to decompose the health monitoring data and the EMD signal decomposition to reveal the internal characteristics of bridge monitoring data, so that to get more reliable data of the amplitude and frequency. The amplitude and frequency variation in the monitoring process is calculated so as to judge the health of the bridge. It innovatively applies the segment data to make...

Precision slit-image photographs of the anterior segment of the eye are capable of giving information about the dimensions and densities (light-scattering properties) of the refractive structures of the eye, which is not obtainable by direct inspection, and of providing a record of progress. Slit-image pictures were first used for this purpose by Goldmann (I940). For a slit-image photograph to ...

Segmentation display plays a vital role to display numerals. But in today’s world matrix display is also used in displaying numerals. Because numerals has lots of curve edges which is better supported by matrix display. But as matrix display is costly and complex to implement and also needs more memory, segment display is generally used to display numerals. But as there is yet no proposed compa...

What can we learn about presidential candidates by examining their speech in natural conversation? In the present study, the television interviews from the 2004 Democratic presidential primary campaign of John Kerry (N = 29) and John Edwards (N = 34) were examined using linguistic analyses. Results indicate that Kerry and Edwards were similar in their use of positive emotion words, but that Ker...

This paper introduces a toolkit used for the purpose of detecting replacements of different grammatical and semantic structures in ongoing text production logged as a chronological series of computer interaction events (so-called keystroke logs). The specific case we use involves human translations where replacements can be indicative of translator behaviour that leads to specific features of t...

In this paper we introduce a variation on the multidimensional segment tree, formed by unifying different interpretations of the dimensionalities of the levels within the tree. Nodes in the resulting d-dimensional structure can have up to d parents and 2d children. In order to better visualize these relationships we introduce a diamond representation of the data structure. We show how the relat...
