The algorithm is the composition of the so-called template matching operator with the maximum gray-level location operator, which can be both expressed in terms of the following classes of mathematical morphology elementary operators: dilations, erosions and anti-dilations. Moreover, the algorithm is applied to remote sensing images.","PeriodicalId":445648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings X Brazilian Symposium on Computer Graphics and Image Processing","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130308000","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}

This definition leads to a very simple and unambiguous representation for affine conics and conic arcs. A conic (of any type) is represented by the homogeneous coordinates of its foci and one point on it, hence, the metric plays a major role in this case as opposed to the traditional algebraic characterization of conics as second degree polynomial curves. This representation is particularly suitable for the implementation of geometric solutions of problems that involve the concept of distance. Furthermore, we discuss point location with respect to conic curves which constitutes an important elementary operation for the solution of many such problems.","PeriodicalId":445648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings X Brazilian Symposium on Computer Graphics and Image Processing","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128340979","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}

By reducing the complexity (size) of the remote scene, less data are transmitted from the remote server and the rendering process becomes faster in the local computer.

This system, unlike most of its competitors, allows a careful modeling of the statistical properties of the data beyond the usual Gaussian hypothesis. The modeling tools include basic descriptive measures and the choice of suited distributions, through goodness-of-fit tests, to model the data. The classification tools offer the choice between pointwise and contextual (Markovian) techniques, and the quantitative assessment of the quality of the results. The system is goal-driven, and its interfaces are solely based on pull-down menus; the user is prompted with the correct sequence of operations, whenever an invalid option is invoked. An example of the use of this system for the classification of a SAR image is presented.","PeriodicalId":445648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings X Brazilian Symposium on Computer Graphics and Image Processing","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122395752","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}
