CUTANEOUS RIDGES IN ODONTOCETES

Echolocation Clicks from Three Species of Odontocetes

A species classifier is presented which decides whether or not short groups of clicks are produced by one or more individuals from the following species: Blainville’s beaked whales, short-finned pilot whales, and Risso’s dolphins. The system locates individual clicks using the Teager energy operator and then constructs feature vectors for these clicks using cepstral analysis. Two different type...

Marching ridges

Marching Ridges is an algorithm for finding ridges of measurement functions defined for images, in which the ridges are defined as level sets of first derivatives of the measurement functions. Marching Ridges is both specific in its application to 2D and 3D medical images for the purpose of finding cores, and general in its theoretical application to finding ridges of intensity, boundary and me...

Do fingerprint ridges and characteristics within ridges change with pressure?

Biosonar sources in odontocetes: considering structure and function.

On Ridges and Valleys

Ridges and valleys are earth’s relief structures. They can have an imaging counterpart provided we model a digital image as a landscape by considering grey level values as height. These two dual entities have received comparatively little attention from the computer vision community with regard to others like edges or corners. In this paper we first propose a taxonomy or classification of the s...
