The viewing space of a PFS can be partitioned into regions called characteristic view domains (CVDs), such that a view of the PFS from any location within a region belongs to the same CV class and is different from all the CVs of the neighboring regions. The authors present a method of partitioning the viewing space into CVDs and finding the set of CV classes for a given PFS. Using the CV classes as the representation of the model object, they also present a method for model-based object recognition. Algorithms for representing, sorting, classifying, and graphically matching the CVs are given. All of these operations are needed in the object recognition method proposed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":135937,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings. 10th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116178546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They present a novel surface curvature computation scheme that directly computes the surface curvatures (the principal curvatures, Gaussian curvature, and mean curvature) from the equidistance contours without any explicit computations or implicit estimates of partial derivatives. They show how the special nature of the equidistance contours, specifically. the dense information of the surface curves in the 2-D contour plane, turns into an advantage for the computation of the surface curvatures. The approach is based on using simple geometric construction to obtain the surface normals, the normal sections, and the normal curvatures. This method is general and can be extended to any dense range image data. Computation results on both real and synthesized equidistance range contours are shown.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":135937,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings. 10th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124925651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also described is a procedure for resolving the ambiguity in the boundary location resulting from the low-resolution segmentation process. This procedure makes use of a set of morphological filters and edges extracted at a higher resolution. The utility and accuracy of the method are demonstrated with a relatively complex example. The major limitation of the method is that the training time of the neural network classifier increases with the number of nodes in the network.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":135937,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings. 10th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126176934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is desirable to utilize a technique that quantitatively detects and displays the heterogeneity of an ultrasound image. It is shown that, for a particular task, choosing features with physical significance will make the classification of the data more robust. It is also shown that the success of combining supervised and unsupervised techniques using such features extends beyond discrimination of one class of data from the other and that the approach can be used to grade and the variations in the same tissue type.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":135937,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings. 10th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125688695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
