Bluman and Kumei's Nonlinear Scale-Space Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
A nonlinear scale-space theory discovered by G. Bluman and S. Kumei is revisited and brought to the attention of computer vision community. Bluman and Kumei found that there exist a unique class of di usivity functions depending only on the local image grey-values that allows the related nonlinear scale-space of an image to be brought in a one-to-one correspondence with a linear scale-space of an associated image by applying Lie group theory. We follow their article and discuss the importance of this Lie-theoretic approach in the eld of image analysis and processing. Moreover, we indicate how to unravel the di erences and connections between the linear and nonlinear paradigms by applying modern geometry and Lie group theory. It is thus also shown, as we claimed some years ago, that an associated linear scale-space can be read out in a nonlinear fashion. We demonstrate that the nonlinear ltering scheme dynamically respects the localisation, ordering and grouping of regions of homogeneous grey-values and singularity sets such as edges, junctions, ridges and ruts. An explicit full discretisation of the nonlinear and linear ltering scheme illustrates that both the nonlinear and linear scale-spaces of identical input images have their own interpretation in terms of topology, geometry and dynamics. Usually one tries to incorporate the same dynamic priciples into nonlinear scale-space theories derived by means of variational and anisotropic ltering techniques. But in the derivations of latter theories the di usivity functions are always depending on the image gradient and higher order image structures. Moreover, it's not sure that these ltering schemes permit an in nite solution space nor that they can be associated with linear ltering schemes. Bluman and Kumei's approach, nevertheless, could give a strong Lie-theoretic support in order to derive variational, anisotropic and dynamic scale-space theories that are adjusted to a supervised computer vision task. This article has been submitted September 1998 to the Journal of Mathematical Vision and Imaging

Definition of General Operator Space and The s-gap Metric for Measuring Robust Stability of Control Systems with Nonlinear Dynamics
In the recent decades, metrics have been introduced as mathematical tools to determine the robust stability of the closed loop control systems. However, the metrics drawback is their limited applications in the closed loop control systems with nonlinear dynamics. As a solution in the literature, applying the metric theories to the linearized models is suggested. In this paper, we show that usin...
متن کاملThe effect of small scale and intermolecular forces on the nonlinear Pull-in instability behavior of nano-switches using differential quadrature method
Using differential quadrature method (DQM), this study investigated pull-in instability of beam-type nano-switches under the effects of small-scale and intermolecular forces including the van der Waals (vdW) and the Casimir forces. In these nano-switches, electrostatic forces served as the driving force, and von-Karman type nonlinear strain was used to examine nonlinear geometric effects. To de...
متن کاملConnecting Euler and Lagrange systems as nonlocally related systems of dynamical nonlinear elasticity
Nonlocally related systems for the Euler and Lagrange systems of twodimensional dynamical nonlinear elasticity are constructed. Using the continuity equation, i.e., conservation of mass of the Euler system to represent the density and Eulerian velocity components as the curl of a potential vector, one obtains the Euler potential system that is nonlocally related to the Euler system. It is shown...
متن کاملMultidimensional partial differential equation systems: Nonlocal symmetries, nonlocal conservation laws, exact solutions
For systems of partial differential equations PDEs with n 3 independent variables, construction of nonlocally related PDE systems is substantially more complicated than is the situation for PDE systems with two independent variables. In particular, in the multidimensional situation, nonlocally related PDE systems can arise as nonlocally related subsystems as well as potential systems that follo...
متن کاملBifurcation and Chaos in Size-Dependent NEMS Considering Surface Energy Effect and Intermolecular Interactions
The impetus of this study is to investigate the chaotic behavior of a size-dependent nano-beam with double-sided electrostatic actuation, incorporating surface energy effect and intermolecular interactions. The geometrically nonlinear beam model is based on Euler-Bernoulli beam assumption. The influence of the small-scale and the surface energy effect are modeled by implementing the consistent ...
