100 Orientation di usions P. Perona Abstract|Di usions are useful for image processing and computer vision because they provide a convenient way of smoothing noisy data, of analyzing images at multiple scales, and of enhancing discontinuities. A number of di usions of image brightness have been de ned and studied so far; they may be applied to scalar and vector-valued quantities that are naturally associated with intervals of either the real line, or other at manifolds. Some quantities of interest in computer vision, and other areas of engineering that deal with images, are de ned on curved manifolds; typical examples are orientation and hue that are de ned on the circle. Generalizing brightness di usions to orientation is not straightforward, especially in the case where a discrete implementation is sought. An example of what may go wrong is presented. A method is proposed to de ne di usions of orientationlike quantities. First a de nition in the continuum is discussed, then a discrete orientation di usion is proposed. The behavior of such di usions is explored both analytically and experimentally. It is shown how such orientation di usions contain a nonlinearity that is reminiscent of edgeprocess and anisotropic di usion. A number of open questions are proposed at the end. Keywords| Orientation analysis, texture analysis, di usions, scale-space

Diiusions on Braided Spaces Ii Preliminaries Ii.1 Braided Spaces
The notion of q-Brownian motion introduced by Majid is extended to braided spaces corresponding to a generic R-matrix, and combined with the theory of quantum probability. This leads to a deenition of diiusions on these spaces. The corresponding heat equations (diierence-diierential equations) are solved in terms of Appell polynomials (i.e. shifted moment systems). Some examples of interest for...
متن کاملInteracting Fisher{wright Diiusions in a Catalytic Medium
We study the longtime behaviour of interacting systems in a randomly uctuating (space{ time) medium and focus on models from population genetics. There are two prototypes of spatial models in population genetics: spatial branching processes and interacting Fisher{Wright diiusions. Quite a bit is known on spatial branching processes where the local branching rate is proportional to a random envi...
متن کاملJump-Di usion Markov Processes on Orthogonal Groups for Object Recognition
In the problem of recognizing targets from their observed images, the estimation of target orientations, as elements of the rotation group SO(3), plays an important role. For k-objects the unknown parameter is an element of SO(3) k. Since k may be unknown a-priori, the parameter space is extended to X = 1 k=0 SO(3) k. In this representation, both the target orientations and their numbers have t...

We study diiusions in Riemannian manifolds and properties of their exit time moments from smoothly bounded domains with compact closure. For any smoothly bounded domain with compact closure, ; and for each positive integer k; we characterize the kth exit time moment of Brownian motion, averaged over the domain with respect to the metric density, using a variational quotient. We prove that for R...
