Measuring symmetry of moving stick creatures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work summarizes various approaches to measuring symmetry of static and moving creatures. It outlines some problems with estimating symmetry of moving creatures: determination of the temporal direction of movement, aggregation of changing lifespan symmetry to a single value, and indeterminism of computer simulations.

The Numerical Measure of Symmetry for 3D Stick Creatures
This work introduces a numerical, continuous measure of symmetry for 3D stick creatures and solid 3D objects. Background information about the property of symmetry is provided, and motivations for developing a symmetry measure are described. Three approaches are mentioned, and two of them are presented in detail using formal mathematical language. The best approach is used to sort a set of crea...
متن کاملElongation of Moving Noncommutative Solitons
We discuss the characteristic properties of noncommutative solitons moving with constant velocity. As noncommutativity breaks the Lorentz symmetry, the shape of moving solitons is affected not just by the Lorentz contraction along the velocity direction, but also sometimes by additional ‘elongation’ transverse to the velocity direction. We explore this in two examples: noncommutative solitons i...
متن کاملFramsticks: Towards a Simulation of a Nature-Like World, Creatures and Evolution
In this paper we describe our attempt to create a nature-like simulation model of artificial creatures. The model includes physical simulation of creatures, their interaction with the environment, their neural network control, and both directed and open-ended evolution. We describe a complex, three-dimensional simulation system, where various fitness criteria can be selected for evolving specie...
متن کاملBAMUVA: A Robot Behaviour Based Architecture to Create Virtual Creatures
In this paper we describe BAMUVA. BAMUVA is Robot based behavioural architecture designed to create Intelligent Agents in a Virtual Environment, where each agent senses obstacles and other moving creatures in the environment and reacts to them. The architecture consists of a Behaviour layer, a motor layer and a library of sensors.
متن کاملA free ‘app’ for plastic surgery: the smartphone spirit level
BACKGROUND Symmetry is one of the criteria of achieving a good aesthetic result. Realising this can be difficult. Attempts have been made to try and measure this symmetry using advanced and complex methods.1 For most surgeons on a daily basis the only practical way to measure symmetry is to use a simple measuring tool such as a measuring tape. However, this method is not very reliable as it dep...
