Measuring the Orientability of Shapes
نویسنده
چکیده
An orientability measure determines how orientable a shape is; i.e. how reliable an estimate of its orientation is likely to be. This is valuable since many methods for computing orientation fail for certain shapes. In this paper several existing orientability measures are discussed and several new orientability measures are introduced. The measures are compared and tested on synthetic and real data.

Shape Orientability
In this paper we consider some questions related to the orientation of shapes. We introduce as a new shape feature shape orientability, i.e. the degree to which a shape has distinct (but not necessarily unique) orientation. A new method is described for measuring shape orientability, and has several desirable properties. In particular, unlike the standard moment based measure of elongation, it ...
متن کاملOrientability of Real Toric Varieties
We characterize the orientability of an abstract real toric variety as well as the orientability of a toric subvariety of a sphere. We also determine the number of components of the smooth locus of a toric variety. These results are proven for an extension of the Davis-Januskiewicz notion of a small cover to singular spaces. We characterize the orientability of toric varieties associated to pos...
متن کاملThe orientability of spacetime
Contrary to established beliefs, spacetime may not be time-orientable. By considering an experimental test of time orientability it is shown that a failure of time-orientability of a spacetime region would be indistinguishable from a particle antiparticle annihilation event.

متن کاملOrientability of Real Parts and Spin Structures
We establish the orientability and orientations of vector bundles that arise as the real parts of real structures by utilizing spin structures.
متن کاملParts Orienting with Partial Sensor Information
Parts orienting, the process of bringing parts in initially unknown orientations to a goal orientation, is an important aspect of automated assembly. Bowl feeders used in industry rely on a sequence of mechanical operations, without using sensors, to orient parts. In our work, we use partial information sensors along with mechanical operations to eliminate uncertainty in part orientation. We sh...
