A Scale Invariant Surface Curvature Estimator
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce a new scale invariant curvature measure, similarity curvature. We define a similarity curvature space which consists of the set of all possible similarity curvature values. An estimator for the similarity curvature of digital surface points is developed. Experiments and results applying similarity curvature to synthetic data are also presented.

Truncated Linear Minimax Estimator of a Power of the Scale Parameter in a Lower- Bounded Parameter Space
Minimax estimation problems with restricted parameter space reached increasing interest within the last two decades Some authors derived minimax and admissible estimators of bounded parameters under squared error loss and scale invariant squared error loss In some truncated estimation problems the most natural estimator to be considered is the truncated version of a classic...
متن کاملEstimation of Curvature Based Shape Properties of Surfaces in 3D Grey-Value Images
Surfaces can be described locally and classified by their curvature values at every point. In this paper we investigate a grey-level based curvature estimator in combination with a sampling-error free integration technique of the curvature image. We compute shape descriptors as the bending energy and a global topological invariant, the Euler characterization. The integration of curvature values...
متن کاملCurvature Estimation of Surfaces in 3D Grey-Value Images
In this paper we present a novel method to estimate curvature of iso grey-level surfaces in grey-value images. Our method succeeds where isophote curvature fails. There is neither a segmentation of the surface needed nor a parametric model assumed. Our estimator works on the orientation (normal vector) field of the surface. This orientation field and a description of local structure is obtained...

متن کاملEstimation of Scale Parameter Under a Bounded Loss Function
The quadratic loss function has been used by decision-theoretic statisticians and economists for many years. In this paper the estimation of scale parameter under a bounded loss function, which is adequate for assessing quality and quality improvement, is considered with restriction to the principles of invariance and risk unbiasedness. An implicit form of minimum risk scale equivariant ...
