Measuring legislative boundaries
We introduce the first family of district compactness measures that can incorporate a wide range of internal geographic features. The measures in this family are the probability that a district contains an admissible path between a randomly selected pair of people. The measure can account for roads, travel time, political boundaries, and prior districts. This family of measures includes the pat...
متن کاملMeasuring Conicity from Shape Boundaries
There has been a lot of research on ellipse fitting and measuring ellipticity of a set of points. However, when the shape is primarily hyperbolic or parabolic, there are no existing methods to measure such properties. This paper describes the first known methods of measuring conicity, hyperbolicity and parabolicity of a set of points. After finding the best conic fit, we measure the correspondi...
متن کاملDirect Ellipse Fitting and Measuring Based on Shape Boundaries
Measuring ellipticity is an important area of computer vision systems. Most existing ellipticity measures are area based and cannot be easily applied to point sets such as extracted edges from real world images. We are interested in ellipse fitting and ellipticity measures which rely exclusively on shape boundary points which are practical in computer vision. They should also be calculated very...
متن کاملA comparison of two methods for measuring perceptual boundaries
This study investigates the performance of two experimental methods used for measuring perceptual boundaries. The first method is an adaptive procedure which allows the listener to arrive at a boundary by moving up and down in a stimulus continuum. The second method presents the listener with a list of stimuli taken from a continuum in randomized order. A listening test requiring short/long vow...
