The presented system consists of a 3*3/2 intensity and a 2*2/2 curve pyramid. At every level, the two square grids are dual to each other. Contour operators generate the symbolic curve codes in the base of the curve pyramid. When the operators are moved several steps up and down in the curve pyramid, short contour segments are removed from the base. The remaining curves are used to preserve the contours at the reduced levels of the intensity pyramid. Experiences from different variants of the dual concept are reported.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":314236,"journal":{"name":"[1988 Proceedings] 9th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129948348","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}

Nevertheless, the validity of these choices is confirmed by a 50-mm/sup 2/ area (60*60PE) chip which has been laid out in a 2- mu m two-metal CMOS technology.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":314236,"journal":{"name":"[1988 Proceedings] 9th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129168559","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}

Any approach to the recovery of surface structure must deal with the inherent limitations of local computations-an iterative constraint-satisfaction process is developed for the reliable extraction of the principal-direction cross section.

The surface is approximated at each level by a network of planar triangular faces having vertices at a subset of surface-specific points, such as peaks, pits, or passes, and including edges that describe surface-specific lines, such as ridges or valleys. Each approximation is built based on a Delaunay triangulation of the data points that includes the given constraint segments. A dynamic algorithm for constrained Delaunay triangulation is proposed. The algorithm is based on the stepwise refinement of a CDT by the incremental insertion of points and constraint segments.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":314236,"journal":{"name":"[1988 Proceedings] 9th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129075195","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}

If the local maximum is not found, the search area is made larger. In case it is not found even in a larger area, the stomach contour is determined by using a reference direction derived from the approximate region. The abnormalities detected from the resultant stomach contour have been satisfactory.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":314236,"journal":{"name":"[1988 Proceedings] 9th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121526665","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}

The control structure is not strictly sequential, but rather in the form of a blackboard architecture that opportunistically invokes routines as needed. An implementation of the methodology is described as well as results with a database of grey-level images of handwritten addresses (taken from live mail in a US Postal Service mail processing facility).
