Proposing a new code by considering pieces of discrete straight lines in contour shapes
نویسنده
چکیده
Pattern substrings analysis to find high redundancy in binary shapes is carried out to improve compression levels in binary objects. Modifications of a recent set of symbols to encode arbitrary contour shapes is proposed. The concept of Pieces of Discrete Straight Lines is introduced and the probability of appearance of symbols in contours is analyzed to propose a code of nine symbols, MDF9. Also, this code is compared with the six well-known contour codes for compression without loss of information: FCCE, FCCF, VCC, 3OT, DFCCE and C_VCC. The proposed MDF9 code in this paper, gives better compression efficiency than existing codes. 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

OPTIMAL NOZZLE SHAPES OF CO2-N2-H2O GASDYNAMIC LASERS
In an axisymmetric CO2-N2-H2O gas dynamic laser, let ? denote the intersection of the vertical plane of symmetry with the upper part of the (supersonic) nozzle. To obtain a maximal small signal gain, some authors have tested several families of curves for ?. To find the most general solution for ?, an application of Pontryagin’s principle led to the conjuncture that the optimal ? must consist o...
متن کاملA new angle on contour integration: The role of corners
Contour integration refers to the binding of disjoint local segments into contiguous global shapes. One central tenet in the study of contour integration has been the dependency of contour visibility on curvature. When contours become increasingly jagged, contour salience deteriorates down to the point of invisibility. In this study, we show that the deterioration of contour visibility due to s...
متن کاملPredicting Young’s Modulus of Aggregated Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Polymer
Prediction of mechanical properties of carbon nanotube-based composite is one of the important issues which should be addressed reasonably. A proper modeling approach is a multi-scale technique starting from nano scale and lasting to macro scale passing in-between scales of micro and meso. The main goal of this research is to develop a multi-scale modeling approach to extract mechanical propert...
متن کاملDo observers like curvature or do they dislike angularity?
Humans have a preference for curved over angular shapes, an effect noted by artists as well as scientists. It may be that people like smooth curves or that people dislike angles, or both. We investigated this phenomenon in four experiments. Using abstract shapes differing in type of contour (angular vs. curved) and complexity, Experiment 1 confirmed a preference for curvature not linked to perc...
متن کاملThe Psi-s Plot: a Useful Representation for Digital Cartographic Lines
The Psi-s plot represents the geometry of a line by determining Psi, the orientation angle or heading, at points along the line, and plotting that value against s, the cumulative curvilinear distance along the line. No matter how convoluted the line is, the Psi-s plot will be a single-valued function of s; it is much easier to parameterize such a single-valued function. Straight lines on the Ps...
